@derononchain @MarinadeFinance @SolanaVenezuela There should be no issues, rewards were slightly delayed that epoch but should have been distributed now

When random token resets but for @Helius? @mert

@bencirc @solana Interesting, would love to talk

🚨 Big news: @BitGo is now the first U.S.-qualified custodian to support Marinade Native staking.

Institutions can now stake Solana securely — with full custody, compliance, and the best rewards.

🎥 Hear from Marinade @hadleystern on this milestone — and dive in 👇

Another validator rug pull.

This validator has changed their commission to 100%. Jito commission doesn’t reflect a change yet as it takes one epoch to update but may also be set to 100% from next epoch.

Be cautious, set up commission alerts on https://t.co/4yRdhRpekB and stake with trusted validators

Mean slot times on Mainnet are now below 400ms. I didn’t even know that was possible!

Epoch 737 is on track to potentially be under 2 days, potentially the fastest Solana epoch ever!

We will have to see how the mean stabilises as the start of the epoch introduces a lot of volatility but this is exciting!

Seeing Dan and Trent say goodbye to their first Solana validators also brought back some memories.

Back in 2014, I and my high school friends launched a visual web analytics SaaS to make websites suck less.

I raised the first money, got stuck at the YC S14 interview round, explored acquisitions from @IBM, and made many first-time founder mistakes to eventually shut it down.

I have no regrets, we all became stronger and forever grateful for these people joining me back then. The show goes on, and the four of us are now building @MarinadeFinance

End of an era.

Nearly six years ago, @trentdotsol and I were sitting in @garious14 's basement ordering computer parts on Newegg to hand-build the first metal validators for Solana.

Mainnet was still a ways away, hardware and network requirements were unknown, docs, tools and best practices were nonexistent. Even Testnet was barely more than a periodic bringup of a handful of cloud VMs. Our tiny but mighty early validator community were basically all on a first name basis with one another.

A few months later, Trent and I, along with a couple other early Solana Labs employees, racked the resulting 7 machines in a data center in Denver. These were the first ever colocated nodes to serve Solana.

In early 2020, we used these glowing green machines to help serve the genesis block and launch Solana Mainnet into the world.

Today, the data center that houses them is shutting down. Trent and I went over this morning to tear out the rack to discover we were the last remaining tenants in a now otherwise abandoned facility, with apparently a single staff member left on hand.

It was a little emotional for me to see these shut down, even though they haven't been active on the network for a very long time, having been repurposed for development work a while back.

It's always humbling to reflect on how far Solana has come in so little time - taking down a handful of old, wonky hand-assembled boxes from the genesis days and considering today's huge global reach of the network, the devs, the products, and especially, all of you.

Thank you all for being along with us on the wildest ride.

If governance is your thing, here you go...

Looking forward to a thoughtful conversation and maybe a good-natured disagreement or two 🌞

[Overclock | Solana Validator @OverclockSol]

1/7) Today we're excited to shed light on Mithril, a Solana full node client in the Go programming language, being developed to make verification of the chain easy and affordable enough to do so from your home 🛖 or cloud ☁️

@martintrompx There could be other hurdles in delegating to unknown validators, but yeah would definitely be better if the stake ended up distributed
