Lower latency sending with Triton just landed! Code open-sourced as usual.

[Triton One 🌊🌋 @triton_one]

NEW sendtx endpoint: direct HTTP path for sending Solana transactions, with SWQoS included by default.

Landing fast on Solana comes down to three things: low sending latency, fewer network hops, and stake-weighted QoS.

Yellowstone Jet, our specialised sending engine, already covers all three, but the standard sendTransaction path still leaves some processing overhead on the table.

It wraps your signed transaction in a JSON-RPC envelope that the server has to parse before it even sees it.

New sendtx drops it entirely, letting you POST the raw bytes, or a base58/base64 string, directly to Jet:

🟣No server-side JSON parsing
🟣Smaller request, less bandwidth used
🟣Browsers skip the CORS preflight round-trip
🟣Runs over HTTP/3 and QUIC
🟣SWQoS on by default

Live on every Triton endpoint, and open-sourced in yellowstone-jet.

13/ With that, we'd like to thank some newer contributors helping push Mithril forward: community contributors @ananthbh (@triton_one) and @sonic_from_ny (@blueshift), plus our newest team member @NeerajGodiyal_.

[Overclock | Solana Validator @OverclockSol]

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.

Had a Jane Street phone interview in 2016. "Price a 6-month forward on carrots."
There's no carrot futures market, so I build one from scratch: seasonal harvest cycles, USDA demand elasticity, cold storage decay rates.
One trader stops me. "Your storage cost function– you're modeling the carrot as dead inventory. Like grain in a silo." He asks me the metabolic respiration rate of a post-harvest carrot at 2°C. I estimate.
"Your forward is overpriced by exactly that shrinkage. The underlying is consuming its own sugars. It's alive." Good correction. I adjust the model. I think I've recovered.
Rejection email comes the next morning. Subject: "Ethical Review." My framework, they write, "relied on the severance of the root organism from its growth medium." The question about respiration was a test. The carrot was still alive and I'd built an entire derivatives structure on top of its death without questioning whether harvest was an acceptable act.
I pull up the recruiter's original email. It doesn't say Jane Street. It says Jain Street– a non-violent quantitative commodities fund.
The carrot was never supposed to be priced. It was supposed to be refused. I later learn the only candidate who passed that round was a former monk from Gujarat who sat in silence for eleven minutes and said, "I cannot put a price on life." He's now a partner.

Find yourself a team that is half as good as Triton and you can move oceans.

@atherenergy the fast charging situation is awful in Chennai. I live in the center of the city in alwarpet and three chargers have closed around me in the last year. The open one is a VIDA charger and it's down to one gun but the app shows three. What are you playing at?

[ananth @ananthbh]

@linuskendall @triton_one @golang Fun fact: 150 billion HTTP requests a month is 57k rps.

We're doing what now??

[Triton One 🌊🌋 @triton_one]

BREAKING: We're partnering with @SolanaFndn to rebuild Solana's read layer from the ground up.

@anza_xyz and @jump_firedancer have done incredible work scaling execution and networking, but the read layer has stayed largely unchanged since genesis. It was built alongside the validator and never got its own architecture.

By 2026, that gap shows: slower access, expensive customisation, and growing limitations at scale. The teams closest to the problem built great tools behind closed doors because the read path was too deeply coupled to the validator to improve without massive effort.

It's time Solana's data access layer matched the ecosystem's needs, and we're proud to be the ones building it:

Big news: reads are moving out of Agave into two modular systems, independently scalable, in sync with the network tip, open-source and managed by @SolanaFndn:

- Accounts: an adaptive indexing engine that ingests, stores, and serves the exact account data your app needs at extremely low latency

- Ledger: full architecture to ingest, store, and serve the entire ledger faster and more efficiently in a columnar engine purpose-designed for how builders query data

Every infrastructure provider, builder, dApp, and institution benefits, with the biggest impact coming from what gets built on top.

All Triton WebSocket traffic for shared subscriptions now runs on Whirligig, a high-performance, drop-in replacement for Solana's standard WebSocket API built on top of our Dragon's Mouth gRPC streams.

Your existing WS code works exactly as before, now backed by an ultra-performant gRPC layer. What that means for you:

- Faster and more reliable subscriptions
- Higher subscription limits per connection
- blockSubscribe support out of the box
- jsonParsed encoding support

Deep dive coming soon!
