150 millisecond finality is far faster than any blockchain out there. AI Swarms are gonna love Solana. They can now pay and transmit information across all geographies for a fraction of a cent.
Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta โฐ๏ธ ๐
Solanaโs new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.
Why this is important ๐งต
@ElviroNova@rajgokal btw - you forgot to mention our security audit with @Hashlock_ : )
And as for Auto-Trading, that's right, we can do this with 300+ tokenised assets on Solana and with any chart on TradingView, the indicator below an example
This one has been in the works for over a year. Tokenization is not about bringing existing assets onchain anymore - that problem has already been solved by Ondo Stocks.
What's next is bringing asset management and wealth management onchain, starting with intelligent portfolios. People globally can invest in sophisticated portfolios, developed by Blackrock for Ondo, with a single click, and access products that were previously only available to the wealthy select few.
Over the next few months, expect Ondo to launch more intelligent portfolios that combine stocks, commodities, ETFs, and even prediction markets, to enable seamless and diversified investing. We are just getting started.
I remember sitting around the dorm at 2am with my fellow political science majors theorizing about how if we could price elections and outcomes correctly, it would help voters make smarter choices in the ballot box.
@Kalshi is doing this today, built on a long legacy of nerds trading on venues that never quite caught on.
I'm thrilled to have Kalshi's Elections and Politics feeds live on @doublezero today!
DoubleZero offer the fastest feed for Kalshi markets - if you are trading the elections, you're gonna want the fastest data.
Its been a big year for onchain stocks. From $100M to $3B as category - fastest growth of any RWA asset class. We kicked off this explosive growth a year ago with a few innovations:
- TradFi liquidity for every buy (no DEX pools needed)
- TradFi pricing via intents (no depegging)
- Ability to support hundreds of assets across chains
Since launch, nearly all providers have copied our model, because it was the right way to bring stocks onchain in the first place.
The next phase gets even more interesting: stocks as collateral (incl. on perps), margin lending, and new portfolio structures to enable seamless exposure to many different assets at once.
Its been an incredible year already. Still very early.
Securing the backup seed phrase is hard.
Can't have someone else read it and say, "oh, that's a nice seed phrase".
Can't have it destroyed by fire, flood, etc.
Can't have a hacker gain access to it.
And most importantly, can't lose it yourself.
big news
the solana deflation & burning proposals will go to an early vote starting tomorrow
if they get at least 15% of stake to signal support, they'll go to a final vote after that
if you're a node or holder that want these on Solana, show support fast
no time to waste
Toly on why tokenized stocks on Solana are inevitable:
"The world is getting wealthier. The companies making the world wealthier are American companies. They have the cheapest, best products that are globally scalable, and people want access to investment into these great products."
"You now have this global demand for US equities creating unmet pressure. There have been attempts throughout history to bridge global liquidity. Blockchain is the latest one, and I think the one that is inevitable."

Tokenization is coming to Japan ๐ฏ๐ต
ICYMI: Ondo is partnering with SBI Group, one of Japan's leading financial institutions, to bring Japanese assets onchain.

Ondo Perps is now open to all eligible traders, offering up to 20x leverage on the equities, indices, and commodities that global investors most want to trade.
For the first time on a permissionless perps platform, tokenized stocks and ETFs can be posted as collateral alongside stablecoins.
The design draws on what we learned building Ondo Global Markets. Rather than requiring market makers to pre-fund large pools of tokenized assets, we built Ondo Global Markets around a just-in-time liquidity model that connects directly to the depth already sitting in the underlying markets.
Ondo Perps extends that same lesson to derivatives. Market makers can quote based on real market depth and hedge by posting the tokenized stock itself as collateral. One pool of capital doing what used to take two.
During private beta, nearly $2 billion in volume traded through the platform, showcasing how much appetite there is for equity perps built on real market liquidity.
Tokenized securities put real-world assets within reach of anyone with an internet connection. Ondo Perps is how you trade them. The collateral model that connects the two is the foundation for what comes next.
Distributed AI inference and training has one major disadvantage over centralized AI: it runs over the internet.
These models are massive, requiring huge amounts of high speed data transfer to train, and to efficiently serve inference.
While @DoubleZero tacked blockchain and market data first, distributed AI is very much something we're building for.
If you're building distributed AI and latency or data movement is an issue, let's talk.
Solana's Alpenglow upgrade is about to make transactions final in 100-150 milliseconds, down from 12.8 seconds
That's a 100x speed up, faster than your card getting approved at checkout
It replaces two of solana's original systems with a smarter setup that cuts out unnecessary steps and frees up ~75% more space for actual transactions instead of network overhead
98% of validators approved it. It's already being tested. Mainnet expected Q3 2026
