We've been working on this for a while, and it's finally here. A better, faster way to query @solana history. If your wallet history lags or your explorer spins on lookups, the bottleneck is usually the storage layer. Bigtable is used across most of the industry, but was never designed for how Solana actually gets queried. It's slow for random access, nearly impossible to adapt, and hasn't meaningfully evolved since its genesis. And the egress costs? Don't get us started. We couldn't patch it. So we rebuilt it from scratch. Hydrant is Triton's new Rust backend running on ClickHouse with: → columnar storage physically sorted for each query → materialised views created at write time → dedicated routing for hot addresses like USDC → head cache that serves recent data at 0.57 ms P50 Three methods live, dramatically faster and more cost efficient. Pricing is flat across the entire ledger: $0.08/GB + $10/M requests, genesis to tip, same as any standard RPC request. And as if that wasn't enough, it's soon going open-source under AGPL! Full breakdown: blog.triton.one/introducing-hy…

RPC 2.0 is here. Built with @triton_one, @Helius, @JupiterExchange, @anza_xyz, and @SolanaFndn. RPC 2.0 delivers a new purpose-built read layer that's faster, cheaper, and far more expressive.

GM @solana_devs! RPC 2.0 is here 🌊

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.

"As you get serious traffic, getting a dedicated machine is a must. I don't think anybody can compete with Triton on that."

Our CVO (Chief Vibes Officer) @SteveCleanBrook is all in on the current @Colosseum hackathon, it seems. Yesterday on Pirate's Parley, he announced a week-long $25 offer to self-onboard on Triton. Valid for a year, same infrastructure stack as the biggest protocols on Solana, no feature gates. Frontier builders, this one's for you: customers.triton.one/onboarding?ste…

Tomorrow I will be hosting @triton_one's very own @brianlong on Pirates Parley! We will discuss @solana validators, RPCs, open-source software, the ecosystem, and much more! We will be live at 4 pm UTC here on X and on YouTube. Join us live and ask us anything in the chat!

RFC: At @ValidatorsApp, we're planning for the @solana Alpenglow release and think this might be a good time to start over with a new website, metrics, scores, etc. Please let me know which features we should keep and what has been missing for the last five years. 🪡🧵 Thanks!

We’ve been building this tool for months to study sub-millisecond behavior on @triton_one. Now it’s open-source, use it to see how fast your RPC really is and learn things no simple benchmark will show. Link’s in the comments 👇

The @triton_one team is crushing it with our new gRPC service! This chart shows account update latency in Frankfurt, where we have industry-leading performance. TBH, the great news for @solana is that we're starting to measure latency differences at sub-millisecond levels. #IBRL

Good news! @solana 's read layer just got a massive upgrade: Introducing Fumarole Fumarole is a streaming service explicitly built with data completeness in mind. It pauses the data stream upon disconnection and starts streaming again when you tell it to. You won't miss updates from unstable gRPC connections anymore. Fumarole stores the last 23 hours; if you start using it today, you can stream yesterday's data, all the way up to the tip of the network! Please read our blog post, which is linked in the following tweet!

@briskblackmamba remember brother, god gives toughest battles to strongest soldiers. Amazing story, wild ride, this is just a small stepping stone in the next wild ride you are going to, amazing thigns coming ahead, I'm sure. Happy to started sharing part of the journey together, more to come

Today I want to share my personal journey in Web3. It’s not just about tech or markets it’s also about loss, love, resilience, and rebuilding. 👇👀🌋

@brooksdotsol @brooksdotsol how far (many slots away) were you from tip when you caught up in <90 secs?

restarted and caught up in <90 seconds

Great News! I heard from a client (a Telegram trading bot) that they achieved a 0% 24-hour sandwich rate in their @solana transactions, partly due to using Yellowstone Shield to bypass untrusted leaders. Yellowstone Shield is a Solana program that manages on-chain allowlists and denylists of identities. This program enables transaction senders, such as @triton_one's Jet, to effectively control transaction forwarding policies. You don't need to send transactions to untrusted leaders! Our latest list of sandwichers from @0xGhostLogs is shown on validators.app/yellowstone-sh… You can see more details on our Git repo at github.com/rpcpool/yellow…

At @triton_one, we're open-source advocates who enjoy contributing to other teams' work in addition to our own. Together with @ABKLABS, we've been pushing hard on the @metaplex Digital Asset Standard API project. We've got the DAS API in a great place, and I'd like to share a status update. For background, over three years ago, I was contacted by the Metaplex team and my friend @_austbot about supporting their ambitious API project. We naively said "Yes," not realizing what we had just committed to. 😉 In the early days, our role was limited to operational support -- Austin would prepare a new release, and we would deploy it to give feedback. There was a lot of glass chewing in those days. Many times, the feedback was, "This doesn't work," but Austin persisted until the project was ready for the next steps. After the DAS API was deployed into production, it became apparent that it required additional developer love, so our team stepped up to contribute code and pull requests to the Metaplex repository. @linuskendall, @espiKnwldgBmbs, @_fanatid, and others all made significant contributions. After three years, we have DAS API supporting a notable amount of our Triton production RPC traffic. The DAS API isn't just for NFTs; it also supports fungible tokens in a format compatible with the @solana JSON RPC API token methods. The performance is fantastic -- we've got heavy queries, such as getTokenLargestAccounts (gTLA), running in under 100 milliseconds! DAS API is an integral part of our RPC 2.0 stack. Did I mention it is open-source? Notably, we've removed the dependency of running a dedicated RPC node to feed the index. By using our widely supported Yellowstone gRPC interface, any team can run their own DAS API instance by connecting to any of the RPC vendors that offer gRPC. Running an index in the cloud is also feasible for many apps. It's worth repeating -- "any team can run their own DAS API instance!" I mention that because Solana applications are becoming increasingly feature-rich, to the point where they've outgrown the standard JSON RPC API. Sophisticated apps often require custom indexes, and the Metaplex DAS API can serve as a great starting point. Developers can customize the code with the confidence that it will perform well in production. Triton has contributed a significant amount of time and money to DAS API without receiving grants or other financial compensation. In return, I hope the ecosystem will benefit from our contribution by building better apps. Finally, we're always happy to work with other teams on our Yellowstone open-source projects. For example, we have almost thirty contributors to our Dragon's Mouth gRPC Geyser plugin. Thanks to everyone who helped! Here are links to the mentioned repositories: Metaplex DAS API: github.com/metaplex-found… Triton Fork of DAS API (we contribute all changes upstream): github.com/rpcpool/digita… Yellowstone gRPC Contributors: github.com/rpcpool/yellow…

This could be you! We currently have two open positions at Triton One. Please help us spread the news! x.com/i/jobs/1851972… x.com/i/jobs/1852290…

Want some alpha? @WilfredAlmeida_ explains how losing the connection to your grpc stream might have you miss transactions you're listening for. Fumarole fixes this. Coming soon!

🧙‍♂️I’m excited to share "Clash of Gods," a video I just created that showcases the amazing new Relight feature from Magnific AI. The animation was brought to life with Luma Dream Machine and Leonardo Motion, and the sound was crafted using Suno. It’s incredible what we can do with AI tools these days. Make sure to turn on the sound and enjoy! 🎶👇👀

@briskblackmamba @leonardoai 😍😍

🧙‍♂️Everyone's talking about how fantastic LUMA & Runway's new AI video models and animations are, truly mindblowing! But have you checked out Leonardo's latest Update? Their new generation model "Phoenix" feature amazing prompt adherence & incredibly precise text generation. It's quickly becoming one of the most useful platforms out there. What are your thoughts? 🤔 Here is an Example of a Pop Art Surfing Poster created with @leonardoai and animated with Motion! 👇👀
