Most LSTs stack fees: the pool takes one, the validator takes another.
chainSOL doesn't. We return 100% of our commission and MEV to holders, every epoch, on-chain.
Alpenglow goes live TODAY.
Tomorrow is the first validator community call after it.
On the agenda:
→ Updates from @anza_xyz, Firedancer, @jito, @doublezero
→ SIMD-605: enshrining local fee markets
→ Community Awards at Block Zero

Alpenglow is live! It's been a crazy grind over the past 20 months bringing this to mainnet.
Huge shoutout to the Anza engineering team, @TheWattenhofer and the research team, the Anza security team, all our auditors and bug bounty participants.
And of course the validator operators who spent countless hours with their own hardware to help us test and bring this to mainnet.
We couldn't have done this without you all! Lets AlpenGO.

Last week's @Solana validator discussions reopened the geography vs. performance debate, plus coverage of a vote inclusion bug and identity security concerns.

This is why infrastructure analysis on Solana matters. "Onchain" doesn't mean "decentralized."
We support projects with credible paths to decentralization. It's not about where you start, it's about whether you have a transparent plan to get there.
