@alessandrod Our testnet potato did not support XDP (BCM5720 with tg3 driver). We have migrated to a mighty server with BCM57416 NICs just for you. XDP is live.
For those not reading the SIMD docs, Alpenglow is a completely new way for the network to agree on transactions. The TL;DR: Finality (when a transaction is permanently settled) is about to get insanely fast, network bloat drops, and overall resilience to spam skyrockets. Read more here: https://t.co/9HyWUPpOdp
We've been in the trenches with Alpenglow community cluster for the past 2 weeks, and a historic milestone just hit: the "Alpenglow" consensus feature was successfully activated.
Watching a live network upgrade its core engine without missing a beat is why we love #Solana
What if your AI agent could pay its own bills? 🤯 @GoogleCloud and @SolanaFndn just dropped a pay-as-you-go system where AI agents can pay for API access using stablecoins directly without an account or subscriptions. When robots need financial rails, they pick low fees and instant settlement. 🤖⚡️
The 'Starfish' mainnet upgrade is officially live on @iota, marking a massive leap forward in network consensus and reliability. Upgrades like this strengthen the foundation for future enterprise use cases. A stronger, more resilient network creates a safer, more profitable staking ecosystem.

April'26 was the worst month for DeFi protocol exploits. 💔
While the DeFi world is exciting, those complicated smart contracts can put your bags at serious risk.
If you want to put your $SOL or $MON to work without the midnight panic attacks, direct network staking is the way to go.
It’s built straight into the blockchain—secure, straightforward, and reliable. No complex loops, just steady rewards for securing the networks you believe in.
Sleep well and earn safely with Spectrum Staking. 💤📈

TheFutureOf #EVM#Monad
An extensive stress test was performed on @monad_xyz testnet.
We’re talking 10,000+ TPS sustained for ~8 hours straight, processing hundreds of millions of transactions without breaking a sweat.
Observations:
▶️Spectrum Staking testnet validator had 100% performance.
▶️Zero timeouts for >90% of validators, proving you don't have to sacrifice decentralization for massive throughput.
▶️100% block utilization once ERC-20 load was introduced.
For LST flexibility in DeFi while still staking with us, just use direct stake option to our validator using our LST partners at @JPoolSolana 🚀: https://t.co/eeJMQIjiEG
$SOL staking ration is at ~70%. Stop inflation from shrinking your $SOL bag! 🛡️

Monad is scaling at a record pace, recently closing to $400M in TVL as one of the fastest-growing L1s post-launch. Grow your $MON bag by staking with us and join the moon ride! 🚀🟣 #Monad#Staking
Great to see the ecosystem maturing at the core level.
In turn, we will continue to contribute to the protocol security and decentralisation as validators.
Solana was built for security. As the ecosystem scales, so does our investment in the tools, standards, and support.
Today that commitment deepens with a new security program, active monitoring, formal verification for top protocols, and a new crisis response network.

Love the continued commitment to the Solana ecosystem from @SolStrategies! 🤝 At Spectrum Staking, we're proud to do our part alongside them—running high-performance infrastructure to keep the network fast, secure & decentralized. Every validator counts. 🧬⚡️ #Solana
At SOL Strategies, decentralization isn’t just a principle, it’s engineered into how we delegate stake.
Today, $STKESOL delegates across 65 validators & 50 UNIQUE data centers.
But decentralization goes far beyond validator count. 🧵
