RIP Testnet Frankendancer 🪦
5,000 slots into Solana testnet epoch 1042, Alpenglow activates and Frankendancer support comes to an end.
It helped pave the way. Now the torch passes to @jump_firedancer . 🔥💃
End of an era. The next chapter begins.

People think F1 is just a driver who gets behind the wheel and laps the track...
The truth is that the driver accounts for 10–20% of the performance, no more.
F1 is a competition among engineers, not drivers.
This is Solana.
F1 chain.

It seems most people don't understand how severe the energy situation is right now in the Middle East.
As of Friday, Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has officially been shut down after recent attacks, putting -4 million barrels of daily oil exports at risk.
Meanwhile, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is now at risk of being shut down, threatening up to -9 million barrels of daily oil supply.
All while the Strait of Hormuz is operating at ~20% of its pre-Iran War capacity, removing -15 million barrels of daily oil flows.
Combined, this represents nearly ~30 MILLION barrels per day of oil flows that are either offline or at risk.
Even after accounting for some overlap between these routes, the scale of the potential disruption is enormous relative to the ~100 million barrel per day global oil market.
This is one of the most severe energy supply situations in modern history.

First Voting season is LIVE!
There are proposals SGP-0001, SGP-0002, SGP-0003 until the end of Epoch 2^10 - 1.
We voted YES on all of them.
SGP-0001 is the framework everything else hangs on; credit to @DrNickA and @tushar_jain for drafting it.
On SGP-0002: Inflation did its job — solving the cold-start problem, but as a community we are overpaying for it. @solana is successfully moving towards paying for its own security from user activity (fees), which follow performance, instead of issuance, which every SOL holder pays for.
We agree it might be rough on smaller validators. In reality consolidation already happened. And the supermajority (top 80% of stake) — 147 biggest validator are spread wider than what people might think:

flying into london city is worth all the hype it gets.
- >50% of passengers in full suits
- no crying babies
- insane views over london
- through the airport in 2 minutes
- 20 min ride into city centre
and a sick 5.5° degree glide slope approach over canary wharf

I can stare at the full Firedancer GUI for minutes just to observe Solana pulsing in real time.
Solana Beach is now running the full Firedancer client (v1.1.4) on mainnet. The hot-spare validator is still running Agave. Two independent clients in two independent data centers, both on custom bare-metal hardware. Thanks @StakingFac for keeping our validator on the edge.
If you want to look by yourself - fd-mainnet.solanabeach.io/
If you want to have Full Firedancer as a white-glove service, my DMs are open :)
