Linux dev, doing ops @triton_one





Two @solana validator operators are caught red handed running private inclusion lanes for one of the biggest MEV bots on chain. The backrunner MRiYA4oN3158fCV8evhuCofrDzbHyYvYnGZUDJvoCsa for the backruns analyzed: - Pays zero priority fee → 84% success on @Helius leaders, 80% on Kiln - Same bot, same txs, every other validator: 25% Not SWQoS. Not luck.

















From user to contributor to maintainer it’s been a long journey. Grateful to the @triton_one team and @espicodes for the trust. Open source gave me everything; time to give back. 🦀 Best ecosystem for devs. merged first PR as a maintainer.

100M CU blocks need @solana validators relaying shreds faster than they do today. XDP is how they get there: it speeds up Turbine's outbound propagation 750x, ensuring every block reaches the whole cluster before the next slot starts. We moved our entire fleet to XDP, and to help other operators get there, we upstreamed two patches to @anza_xyz's Agave, removing common adoption blockers: → VLAN tagging in userspace for segmented datacenter networks. Operators who split traffic across VLANs can now turn on XDP without the switch dropping their shreds → Multicast MAC derivation unlocks multicast retransmit on XDP for group sends. Useful on @DoubleZero and anywhere per-peer duplication isn't viable If there's a validator you'd like to see on XDP, tag them below👇
