@trentdotsol @xer0c 3) An RPC is free to build on top of agave and add account caching, such that it could return a closed account's old data. That is not how agave works though.

@trentdotsol @xer0c 2) In agave, when an account is closed, regardless of what else in the account, it is stored with all other fields zeroed out (owner, data, etc). Or purged immediately.

Agave v4.1 is now recommended for mainnet validators and sets the stage for an exhilarating v4.2. Introducing prerequisites for:

- Alpenglow
- 100M CU blocks
- 200ms slot times

[trent.sol @trentdotsol]

Grab your favorite flavor of Agave 4.0.3 ASAP (or 4.1.0-rc.1 if <10% beat you to it)

[Brennan Watt @bw_solana]

XDP will be default enabled on Agave starting with v4.2 (early August on mainnet).

try it out NOW so we can fix any unique driver/NIC combo issues you might have

[brooks @brooksdotsol]

wake up babe, Solana's getting faster again

[Anza @anza_xyz]

Introducing P-Token: an optimized rewrite of the SPL Token program for Solana, now live on mainnet. Token instructions are about 96% cheaper in compute, freeing 12-13% more block space for the network without altering block limits 🧵
