From Genesis to Alpenglow! 🏔️
As a @solana validator since the Testnet days, it's been incredible to witness the network's journey and contribute to its growth through every stage. This feels like one of the most meaningful milestones yet.
Now back to producing blocks! ⚡

Alpenglow is now live on Solana mainnet. ⛰️
Finality just went from ~12.8 seconds to ~150ms.
The biggest consensus upgrade in Solana’s history, built by @anza_xyz.

Hours left to vote. Your voice directly shapes @solana's long-term health. Don't sit this one out.
And a reminder for stakers: even if you're not a validator, you can still vote independently, regardless of your validator's expressed vote. That said, ideally you're staking with validators who share your views and values in the first place.
📡 Governance update
Last Sunday Chainode Tech has voted YES on all three Solana active governance proposals:
* SGP-001 The Solana Constitution - a framework for Solana governance and stake-weighted decision-making.
* SGP-002 Double Disinflation - reduces future SOL emissions by doubling disinflation from 15% to 30%.
* SGP-003 Resource and Inclusion Fee - splits Solana fees into a fixed inclusion fee and a resource fee that scales with usage and is 100% burned.
We strongly believe that, despite differing opinions among some stakeholders about these proposals, having these proposals approved is ultimately for the greater good of the Solana network.
As a delegator, you can cast your own vote with your own stake weight if you have a different opinion than us or the validator you have staked with (otherwise is not needed) and track the proposals’ progress here:

For any questions, we are here as always! 🤝
All 3: Yes for Solana and SOL

Spinning up the validators, planting the genesis flag, counting all 1000 epochs on @solana! 🚀
1000 epochs later, and we're still doing the same thing we've been doing since day one: obsessing over Chainode Tech's validator performance and doing our part to keep the network fast & resilient.
No side quests. No shady yield games. No chasing every shiny meta.
Just relentless uptime, solid infra, fast upgrades, and maximizing rewards for our stakers - the right way.
Here's to the first 1000. The progress has been massive. Onward. 🫡
The kind of clowns people on the internet listen to when making life-changing investments. It can't get any better than this.
I just dumped my entire $HYPE and $NEAR position, I will explain why in my essay "Reality Test" dropping next Tuesday.
TLDR:
- Higher energy prices due to Iran war and inventory restocking
- 3 Mega AI IPOs between now and early Q3
- Prediction that Trump goes anti-AI to win mid-terms for Republicans
- I think highs in mrkts will happen btw now and September
- Time to take profit, and two-step in beefa without worrying about my positions
If you listen to such brilliant arguments, it makes you even brighter than the person making them! I don’t make the rules 🤷♂️
Ansem explains why Zcash is still undervalued
“It’s super cheap compared to a lot of the other coins, it has a great narrative behind it, it already has momentum and it’s by far the best performer in Crypto the past year”
“I honestly think it’s gonna consolidate here around $450-$500 and then I think it’s gonna keep going up… it’s only around $9B market cap right now”
“Zcash was like $30 or $40 last year before a lot of core technological upgrades got pushed through”

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to our stakers, partners, and everyone grinding in this industry day in, day out. 🎄
2025 was challenging, so take the break to recharge, reset, spend time with your loved ones, and touch some grass (or snow). We'll keep the nodes running 24/7, as always. 🛠
Grateful for the trust, we don't take it for granted. 🫡 See you in 2026 – stronger. 🚀

Day 1 of @monad Mainnet is finally here! 🚀
Huge congrats to the team, fellow validators and community for making this happen. On day one, few chains launch with the depth of opportunities already live on Monad — DeFi, gaming, yield, consumer apps, and beyond.
For the OG staking enthusiasts: @ChainodeTech is supporting @monad from the very first block with fast, reliable, battle-tested infrastructure. We’re fully live and ready to accept MON delegations for consistent, stress-free rewards. Let’s go! 💜
Monad Mainnet is now live!
Check it out here: app.monad.xyz

Next week's mantra: MON, gmonad, mainnet, Chainode Tech, staking 💜, yields.
No particular order. 😏
Ionut S. | Chainode Tech retweeted
One thing @solana and @monad have in common?
🛠️ We’ve been OG validators on both since early testnet days.
Our mission: 100% focused on tech and delivering seamless yields.
Ready for Gmainnet! 🚀
MON, the native token of @monad, will list and be available to trade on Solana simultaneously or even before major exchanges 🔥
Ionut S. | Chainode Tech retweeted
Gmainnet! 💜 Chainode Tech is all set and ready to support the @monad Mainnet on day 1 as a validator!
🛠️ Early believers. Testnet grinders. Launch-day validators. 100% committed to the ecosystem. LFG
