We just had the first successful Alpenswitch on our Alpenglow community cluster! The @solana finalization time improved 100x. Thanks to everybody participating. Watch it live: ag.validblocks.com …ommunity-status.stakingfacilities.com

@harmonic_gg @SolanaEvents @consensus2026 Very interested!

The team is in Miami for Accelerate (@SolanaEvents) and @consensus2026. We want to meet validators, searchers, ecosystem contributors, and fans. Slide in DMs if you’re interested.

@alessandrod wild! Can't wait to update

one of the largest validators turbine retransmit from 600ms to ~0.8ms agave 4.0 w/ XDP is going to be the biggest solana upgrade to date

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. Full architecture overview: blog.triton.one/announcing-rpc… More technical posts coming as we build through 2026, so make sure to follow us on X and subscribe to our blog.

We've identified an address poisoning attack targeting Squads users. We have no evidence of any users being impacted at this time. Attack vector: Since all public keys are visible onchain, attackers are programmatically creating new multisig accounts that include existing Squads users as members. These multisigs appear in the UI because the program indexes all accounts associated with your key. Additionally, attackers are grinding public keys that match the first and last characters of your real multisig addresses, making fake accounts look legitimate at a glance. Attacker goal: Get you to mistake a fake multisig for one of your real ones — either by copying its vault address (sending funds to an attacker-controlled account) or by signing a transaction you didn't initiate. Impact: None, if you don't interact. This is not a protocol vulnerability. The attacker cannot access your funds, execute transactions, or modify your existing multisigs. It is purely a UI-level social engineering attempt. Action required: — Ignore and do not interact with any multisig you did not create or weren't added to by your team — Do not rely on matching the first and last characters of an address to verify it — always verify the full address against your own records — If you're unsure whether a multisig is legitimate, check with your team before taking any action — Set your Squads accounts as default — this pins them to the top of your Squad list, making it easy to distinguish your real accounts from anything unfamiliar. We encourage everyone to do this now if you haven't already (click on ... next to your Squad in the Squad list). UI updates shipping in the next two hours: — A banner alerting users to this attack — An alert on any multisig you've never interacted with before In the next few days we are also shipping a whitelist logic where all new multisig accounts initially go to a pending state requiring you to manually add them to your Squad list. We'll follow up here with updates as we roll these out.

Europe End of May 👏

Your onchain balance just became real-world spending-power with Jupiter Global. Spend, send, and pay directly from your onchain portfolio wherever @Visa is accepted, seamlessly. With @JupGlobal you’ll get access to: - Visa card accepted at 150M+ merchants - APAC QR payments on local rails with quick settlement to both personal and merchant accounts - Onramp and offramp via banking rails, low fees, and same day settlement Everyday finance, now onchain. Over the next few days, we’ll break down why Jupiter Global is the most complete onchain payment system ever built. Just use Jupiter (Global).

Many people have asked over the last few days why we at Jupiter decided to run Harmonic. The answer is simple. If Solana is going to keep evolving, we need competition, not concentration. The healthiest market structure is one where multiple serious teams push each other to raise the bar. I hope Temporal comes in strong. I hope Jito responds just as strongly. We’ll continue to support a landscape where performance, resilience, and innovation are shaped by competition.

1/ SIMD-0370, by Jump’s Firedancer team, proposes removing Solana’s fixed compute unit block limit after Alpenglow. This would eliminate static caps on block limits and have validators skip blocks they can’t process in time. Here’s what changes 🧵

@armaniferrante Insane, crushing it. Keep going!

Story time. Over two years ago we attempted Backpack's first fundraise for the exchange. We had lost most of our money on FTX, and we had to re-invent ourself. With a couple small checks and our personal savings, we bootstrapped the initial exchange team to focus on all the hard things regulated companies have to do--not just engineering, but finance, accounting, compliance, customer support, and importantly, the entire licensing process for our first anchor license in Dubai. From the beginning, it was never just about building a matching engine, it was never just about building an app, it was about being able to re-imagine every layer of the stack of modern finance, where the legal code is just as important as the computer code--a thesis at odds with basically every crypto investor in the world. We had our sites set not just on the UAE but on the entire world, and one place in particular, the European Union. From the perspective of many international exchanges, to put it in their own words, a "bloodbath" was coming. The world's largest derivatives platforms were leaving the EU, and it was getting harder and harder to enter the market. At the time, there was a total of zero exchanges offering a regulated perpetual futures product. So we went out to fundraise. Our goal was simple: get enough money to buy FTX EU, do all the hard work to return customer assets, hire up a world class compliance team, solve all the problems that caused FTX in the first place, and re-activate the license. Turns out fundraising wasn't that simple. The world was in a very different place back then. Most people looked at us like we were crazy. A lot of people questioned me and our team for FTX ties. Who wants to invest in ex FTX and Alameda employees trying to buy back the EU arm of FTX, returning customer funds, and gunning to be the first regulated perpetual futures product in Europe. To many it was the most contrarian of bets and a far fetched dream. Why couldn't Coinbase or any of the other giants just beat you and do this first? A fair question. And honestly, I didn't have an answer to that. All I can say is that I genuinely think our team is the best. No one works harder. Works more hours. Has more experience, more ore battle scars, and a more comprehensive of an understanding of crypto exchanges than us. Others might have more resources. Others might have better brands. Others might have been around for longer than us. They deserve all the respect in the world for pioneering much our industry. However, it's my job to think I can do better. It's my job to compete. It's my job to win. I naively thought I could. Investors did not. We failed. So we didn't buy FTX EU. It ended up being purchased by the previous founders. We missed the opportunity. But we didn't stop. Tunnel visioned. Laser focused. We built our product. We went to market. And, turns out, we were pretty successful. In 2024, we made more money than our entire fundraise. We built our spot product, and with the capital on hand, we were ready to re-invest to climb our next mountain. I don't know if it was luck, divine intervention, or just the universe just doing its thing, but we discovered that FTX EU was for sale--again. This time, we didn't have to fundraise to make an offer. We had the cash ready to deploy. And so we did. But the interesting thing about buying regulated companies is that it's not simply a matter of having cash. There's many more people with much more money than us. It's not just about showing up to someone's door with a bag of cash, and you're off to the races. There's diligence. There's compliance tech. There's reporting requirements. There's the ability to steward the return of FTX EU customer assets. There's custody requirements. There's controls. There's bespoke integrations. There's product changes. There's a million little details that go into getting a regulated company off the ground. Details that very few startups at our stage ever have to think about. Some people think we're making our lives harder than they have to be by doing all of this. But it's precisely the hard things that no one wants to do that are worth doing. And I'm proud to say that we did it, joining the ranks of only a handful of crypto companies in the world that have met the highest standards of compliance to offer a regulated product in one of the largest, most important, and most rigorous regions in the world. And for perpetual futures, specifically, one of the first. It turns out you can just do things, and we're not stopping there. This year, we set our sites not just on Europe, but later to Japan, and ultimately our home, the USA. We've come a long way, but we have an even longer way to go. Every day. Little by little. Brick by brick. 🧱
