β οΈ Important update:
Our validator shutdown has been slightly delayed to epoch 950.
Destaking has now started, so our validator will be stopped in about 120 minutes.
Thanks again to all delegators and to @SolanaFndn for their support since 2021.
β οΈImportant Update:
Our validator (active since epoch 322) will be retired at epoch 949.
Despite our efforts, weβve been operating at a loss for 4+ months.
Thanks to all delegators and to @SolanaFndn for their support since the Tour de SOL era and @jito_labs for their support.
DoubleZero shreds are fast. Really fast.
I benchmarked Turbine, DoubleZero, and 3 commercial shred providers head-to-head on the same machine β nanosecond precision, per-shred comparison.
Here's what I found π§΅π
Yesterday, we announced Phase II of DoubleZeroβs Delegation Program (DZDP), which starts on March 9, 2026.
If you're a @Solana validator, here's what you need to know. β
Imagine a world where you can actually see whatβs happening inside a Solana block.
Up until now this has largely remained a mystery, but that changes today!

JIP-31 is up for discussion on the Jito Network forum! π
Proposing to redirect 100% of protocol revenue to validators who run BAM.
If passed, the proposal would put a temporary pause on 100% buybacks currently actioned by the CSD.

β οΈWe were hoping not to do thisβ¦ but after running at a significant loss for over 2 months, weβre forced to raise our validator commission to 5%.
Thank you for your understanding, trust, and continued support.

In my newest blog post, I detail how Solana's long-term success depends on deterministic execution infrastructure that scales transparently as the network grows.
With BAM, every ordering decision is proven, not promised.
π₯ BAM!
We're excited to share that Green House Crypto validator has successfully switched to the BAM client developed by @jito_labs at Epoch 871.
We're proud to support the next evolution of Solana block assembly through an external scheduler.
This is just the beginningπ
New week, New SIMD proposal on our radar.
SIMD-0357 introduces Alpenglow epochs, a system that changes how validators join the active set and helps secure Solana.
Hereβs what it means and why it matters π
