If your speed is less athletes and politicians and more devs and deep dives, The Pod is the place for you tomorrow.
Check out the full agenda for our technical track, running alongside the main Accelerate programming.

If you're building on crypto's frontier, there is still time left to join the world's largest hackathon.
Over 14,500 participants are in the process of bringing their products to life in our @Solana startup competition.
Submissions due by May 11, 2026: https://t.co/6GVqmKOtbL
In less than a month, we will take over Miami to showcase and celebrate American innovation at Accelerate USA 🇺🇸
But @solana is too big to be contained by a single day.
So we will highlight our consumer and AI builders with events on the days before and after Accelerate.
1/ PropAMMs and the Next Chapter of Permissionless Market Structure
For years, onchain trading won on access, lost on execution. Some feel better performance requires moving backwards to centralized systems
PropAMMs on @solana are proving permissionless can outcompete centralized
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.

We don't market ideas, we commit them.

The fastest path to shreds is now live - and it's free
Introducing: SolanaCDN
• Open-source client with built-in acceleration layer
• Redundant block delivery outperforms Turbine
• CDN layer from Pipe, provided as a public good
Here's how it works 🧵
Introducing Constellation: a multiple concurrent proposers protocol for Solana. With proposers operating on a 50ms cycle, Constellation gives Solana the fastest protocol enforced economic tick rate of any blockchain.🧵
Happy 6th birthday Solana fam.
They said quit. The builders stayed.
They said it's dead. The code persisted.
They said move on. The network's never been stronger.
Just one more hard quarter.
Superteam USA is here.
Our mission: accelerating founders across America.
An elite community for builders across AI, biohacking, consumer products, onchain payments, and more.

The ongoing DDoS attack on @solana is one of the largest in internet history.
6 Tbps volumetric attack translates to billions of packets per second.
Under that kind of load, you'd normally expect rising latency, missed slots, or confirmation delays.
Instead, data shows:
• Median tx confirmation ~450ms
• p90 < 700ms
• Slot latency holding at 0–1 slots
The @Solana Cypherpunk Hackathon product directory is live!
Cypherpunk was the largest crypto hackathon ever & one of the largest in tech history with 1,567 submissions.
Winners + Colosseum accelerator founders will be announced at Breakpoint. Onward.

I have just rage written
- some custom flow tracking code
- the eBPF code to instrument it
- the userspace code to load and process the output of the eBPF code
All in rust, in total ~600 lines of very non trivial code executed by dozens of threads across two processes and the kernel (the eBPF part).
And it just worked on the first run.
And people are still writing C/C++ lmao
The solution isn't faster servers. It's closer servers.
Pipe puts nodes in your neighborhood, not across an ocean.
The difference: under 10ms latency vs over 200ms.
