1/ Since Mithril’s January alpha release, we’ve been heads-down. Today it moves to beta.
Mithril is faster, more capable, and now sources blocks directly from Turbine/Repair through Lightbringer, our new path to block data without RPC providers.

12/ Beyond that, our roadmap includes pre-confirmed block support, especially for simulation, plus continued performance and RPC polish.
Because Mithril can run on lighter hardware than a full RPC node, we believe it could help power easy agent-driven setups that act on-chain.
1/ Two years ago, we set out to build a full node that could verify Solana Mainnet on modest hardware and home internet, making decentralization accessible.
Today we're releasing the Alpha version of Mithril, our Solana full node client in @golang, and it can do exactly that.
@permaweave@StrategicHash Also, the large amount of Sol needed to break even is moreso an issue of voting fees being high rather than the hardware being that expensive
For now we aren't working on a validator but it sounds like Alpenglow will make it easier for us to eventually transition to that potentially.
I think some have mentioned that the hardware requirements for Solana validators might go down with Alpenglow due to less fork management overhead. @bw_solana@toly would know
