All docs and guides on quicknode.com/chains/solana are updated for Alpenglow, Solana CLI 4.3.2 is recommended everywhere, and solanabook.org is already written to assume Alpenglow. 🟩

Didn’t use ‘beta’ for mainnet cluster in the Solana book.
🚨BREAKING: Both @Solana co-founders call for dropping the “beta” label after Alpenglow goes live. @rajgokal says, “Kill the word ‘beta’ with fire.” @toly asks to “remove the beta tag in the explorer.”

Send a transaction: trade, transfer, swap, mint, anything onchain. Then tell us how 150ms feels. 🎤

Another win for Black founders. We're teaming up with @Quicknode to take infrastructure costs off the table for our founders for an entire year. Because the best use of a founder's resources is building something people actually want. The Black perks vault keeps growing.
