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.

It's amazing to see that Solana was able to advertise and even get an office in China. 👏 @BNBChain was not able to do this, so far. 🤣 Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest.
What a Day 1 in Shanghai. From visiting the new office to seeing Solana light up the Shanghai skyline. Quite a way to kick off the week! Incredible energy from the community here.

Slow RPC calls often trace back to one client-side mistake: opening a fresh connection on every request. That pays a TCP handshake and TLS penalty each time. Reusing connections removes that latency immediately. Check patterns in Node, Python, and Go ↓ quicknode.com/guides/quickno…

In 2026, no program is closed source. We decompiled a propAMM into Rust that recompiles to the exact on-chain binary, then used it to find a critical bug that put $6.1M at risk.
