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.
