the Hera pathfinder core upgrade sequence has started, and the first wave is now live on @solana🧠
▪️ Kipseli, @quaymarkets and @Hadron_Fi are now integrated as new liquidity sources, with more already moving through the pipeline.
▪️ a new multihop module is live, built to homogenize fragmented route structures and search for more efficient combinations across complex paths.
▪️ routing instability around exotic/custom pairs received another round of fixes and improvements.
▪️ the new fetching architecture is being rolled out gradually. phase one is now live for pMMs and has already been tested in production. phase two will extend the same architecture across the remaining liquidity sources. soon 👀
▪️ meanwhile, an external pathfinder experiment running under reinforcement learning is producing some very interesting results. we're challenging it to find the most efficient executable path across maximum route width within extremely shallow time windows, and the success curve keeps moving in the right direction.
this is also an early building block for the much more complex routing system Hera will eventually need across EVM environments.
▪️ pMMs are getting special attention too. instead of only patching quote gaps through prediction, we've been reverse engineering parts of their underlying math so more of the quoting process can eventually move directly into the core. latest run: 144,038 quotes tested with the error margin pushed down to 0.129 bps. that's very close to the direction we want: less guessing, more calculation.
#Solana is a chain where new markets, liquidity models and execution primitives seem to appear almost every day. beta for us means keeping up with that pace while continuously tightening the system underneath.
there are still liquidity sources waiting to be integrated. the API isn't public yet either, but we're getting closer.
routing has its own version of Moore's law: the error surface keeps shrinking while the search frontier keeps expanding. more executable paths, less uncertainty, less time. execution density compounds!
go break something: https://t.co/KztpXoRu1Q ☑️
swap around, push weird routes, and send us anything that feels even slightly off. we'll move fast. ✦
The devils in the details.
The market will price in the event ahead of time at X% probability. When it happens we’ll get a shock draw down where the market reprices X to 100%.
Many with think it’s going to zero and dump. They will buy into the FUD put out by brainless outside analysis.
Then they will learn that “not you keys, not your coins” is an imaginary Bitcoiner scripture. Under rule of law it’s “not your legal title, not your coins”
Attackers will not be able to sell their coins because they don’t carry title and exchanges will freeze those coins if they try to send them in. I mean, try sending Satoshi’s coins into Kraken and see if they will acknowledge you as owner.
The market will bottom pretty quickly when it groks this understanding and BTC will repair.
70% of the coins are safe. The remainder will be frozen, either by a fork or by the industry.
Either way BTC survives and then thrives by flipping gold because gold has an asteroid extinction event coming.
Hera Token Migration announcement 🧩
LayerZero is ending support for Metis, which means Hera’s token transition has to happen earlier than originally planned. with a very tight window to work with, a user-by-user migration would create unnecessary risk and complexity, so the migration will be handled through a snapshot-based process instead.
the idea is simple: nobody should need to unstake, bridge, claim or go through a manual migration flow.
▪️ migration window: October 22, 12:00–14:00 UTC.
⚠️ please do not make any HERA-related transactions after 12:00 UTC until the migration is confirmed complete.
▪️ the snapshot will account for HERA held on Ethereum, HERA held on Metis, staked balances and pending staking rewards. everything will be combined under a strict zero-accounting model and migrated 1:1 to the same EVM address on Ethereum.
▪️ if you currently provide liquidity, withdrawing it before the migration window is recommended so the underlying balances are directly available during snapshot accounting.
▪️ there is no claim process and no migration transaction required from users. the distribution will be handled automatically.
▪️ the new Hera Token contract is still TBA. please ignore any token or contract claiming to be the new Hera until the official address is published.
▪️ this is not a Solana token expansion. this step is only the transition to the new Hera Token. the first expansion of the new token will be to Solana, but for now it will exist on Ethereum only.
after the migration, the current token will become a legacy asset and the new Hera Token will take its place at the same 1:1 allocation. legacy token liquidity will be transitioned directly into liquidity for the new token, so the new Hera Token will remain swappable throughout the transition.
@coingecko, @CoinMarketCap, @dexscreener and other major tracking/crypto platforms will also be notified about the migration. temporary indexing or data mismatches may appear during the transition, but we expect these to be resolved shortly as the new contract is recognized across platforms.
the full timeline, migration logic and answers to the most common questions are available here:

Do nothing. Wait. We handle it. 💜
last update report before the beta-execution release 👇
the executable beta is now effectively feature-complete and Hera V3 has entered the deployment phase. over the last few days, several parts that were still missing or needed one final pass were completed.
▪️auto slippage is now native and enabled by default. instead of relying on a fixed setting, Hera’s internal engine dynamically adjusts slippage based on live market impact and route conditions. that can mean something as low as 0.1% on stable swaps, while highly volatile or newly launched assets may require much wider values such as 5%+. https://t.co/HMv8K4ugSb
▪️ throughout testing, we ran transaction simulation on Helius and checked execution both before the swap and during preflight. these simulation checks won’t remain visible in the final product for UX reasons, but they gave us an additional layer to catch failed-swap scenarios and execution edge cases before release.
▪️ token intelligence has also been expanded. users can now see additional token information, tax-fee data, launchpad-related details and important warnings where necessary. the module is powered by Jupiter API together with Hera’s internal architecture. tokenized stock labels were added as well.
▪️ the UI has gone through another large round of changes too. almost every user-facing field is now dynamic, including token pricing data, and we added an easier way to find previous token queries so users can quickly return to a previous pair with the same amount.
▪️ on the routing side, 3 more liquidity sources were integrated into pathfinder core.
and these are only the parts worth highlighting. there were hundreds of smaller fixes, optimizations and edge-case improvements across the stack.
from this point, development for beta is basically frozen. the remaining work is deployment: upgrade the programs, redeploy the pathfinders with the final build, switch the UI to the new version, and run the final checks.
no hard ETA. everything above will be rolled out at some point over the next few biz days, so the release can happen at any moment once the final deployment steps are complete.
the next update should be: hey guys! 🙃 @solana
Hera is getting close 🫣
A major UI upgrade is already in the pipeline, with a new dynamic fee engine, v1 txs, full Jito / Sender support, real-time simulation layer, extra security modals, easier 3rd-party widget integration, and a long list of infrastructure improvements.
On the pathfinder side, most of the issues we’ve been tracking are now fixed. New liquidity sources are also being prepared, but they’re not blockers for release.
We’ve also published the first version of the new architecture docs: https://t.co/n8OJ8ijclA
No hard ETA, as always. Things can change fast during final testing. But based on where we are today, we’re planning for the executable beta release sometime next week. Edge cases can be handled during beta. At this point, the arch is ready for real users, real routes, and real feedback.
The kitchen is still hot, but we’re almost ready to serve. 🍽️
Execution layer progress update 👇
☑️ Hera V3 beta-router deployed on Solana: HeraBjvd499MqsXBCxKu5yBvHShie4Ufn6BwowVeM221 ~ All upgrades will be handled through this program until the final stage.
⌛️ The execution layer will be distributed to the pathfinder side shortly, packaged for 'v0.3.7 - https://t.co/Q6JAeqHfVE interface'. This is directly tied to the routing architecture on the UI side, so please wait for the update.
☢️ We started batch simulation tests on random routes to check system health and execution limits, and we’re finalizing fixes for any possible edge cases.
👁🗨 The protection layer that prevents blind trust in PropAMM quotes is working perfectly and is already active. Locked!
🎭 Due to access restrictions on BisonFi, we had to create an additional option inside the routing / transaction-building architecture, and we’ve handled that too. Hopefully @FWDInd includes us in the next upgrade.
One more feature has also been activated: routes can now rebuild themselves repeatedly based on routing depth capabilities and re-evaluate execution conditions in the process.
The routing architecture has been improved to work in sync with the transaction-preparation layer and is now fully aligned with the upcoming v1 transactions update. We’re also closely following the massive improvements from @anza_xyz. At this point, all we need is the official announcement.
So yes, we’re fully ready for wide routes. The 4096-byte limit is a real game changer @solana_devs 🫣
Get ready for the upcoming announcements!
