@triton_one asked RPC providers a fair question. Our answers, checked on our node:
• We don't trade on your transactions
• No tx contents in our logs
• Every key, same path to our own node
• No third party sees your txs

Week 2 of @solanaturbine Builders: Anchor vaults and escrows. A lot to absorb, and strong classes. What clicked 🧵
A vault's address is a PDA: seeds plus the program ID, no private key. Nobody can sign for it except the program.
Great practice ahead of final day of week 2 classes 🔥@solanaturbine
I just completed the Anchor Escrow challenge from @blueshift.
Try it out here: learn.blueshift.gg/en/challe…
Make the shift. Build on @solana.

🤖 Agents can pay for Solana RPC over x402 or MPP.
No account, no API key, no SOL for fees. 0.005 USDC per request, up to 15 calls per payment.
402 → pay → 200 ⚡ Our own node, built on pay.sh.

One input for the B3−B2 sheet, from the validator side: a Solana block is now final ~0.24 s after it completes (median, our nodes, today).
Happy to measure the other chain-side costs (hash anchoring, settlement) on mainnet. @Princeadxisrael
What does “verified” decentralized training actually mean?
We put the main methods side by side: what each one guarantees, where the check runs, and what a chain adds (or doesn’t).
In every billion-scale system we looked at, verification still happens off-chain.
@Princeadxisrael breaks it down 👇

Follow-up: same two RPC nodes, now measuring finality.
Block complete → rooted: 237–247 ms median, about one 200 ms slot.
Before Alpenglow, root trailed the tip by ~13 s.
That's Alpenglow on mainnet, measured. ⚡ @anza_xyz @solana
ALT Chart titled "Rooted in under a quarter second." Digital Energy, Agave 4.4.0 on Alpenglow, measured Nov 4, 2026. Block complete to rooted: 237–247 ms median across two RPC nodes, Chicago 247 ms and Los Angeles 237 ms, with p10–p90 ranges of about 130–435 ms. A comparison shows time to root falling from about 13 seconds before Alpenglow to about 0.24 seconds now.
Live Solana RPC workshop with Superteam Ukraine 🇺🇦 today: real mainnet requests, traced end to end, from a node we run on our own hardware.
Four teams are already on Builder.
Thanks for the sharp questions, @SuperteamUKR
On BAM, your validator's TPU is advertised as the BAM node's, so transaction flow to that leader runs through it. Who runs those nodes matters.
Good to see independent operators in the mix. ⚡
Decentralizing block building means BAM Nodes run by operators outside of Jito.
We're happy to announce the first cohort of third-party BAM Node operators: @triton_one, @Bitwise, and @solstrategies.
Read the full post for the onboarding phases and the path to full mainnet:

On BAM, your validator's TPU is advertised as the BAM node's. Txs sent straight to your own TPU are dropped, and stake weight doesn't count in the BAM auction.
Sending to a BAM leader? Use @jito Block Engine, 1k lamport min tip. ⚡

All six nodes mitigated, mainnet and testnet.
Heads up: nft -f and sysctl -w don't survive a reboot. Persist them (systemd oneshot for the nft table, /etc/sysctl.d for the sysctls) until you're booted on a patched kernel.
Validators! CVE-2026-98432 is patched in the linux kernel but not yet patched on ubuntu. Here's what you need to do if you're running ubuntu:

Best of five: 318 ms. Solana wins by 168 ms.
Good thing I run the validators instead of racing them. ⚡

Well deserved, Ohad. Learning in public is the fastest way to level up. 🔥
This week’s Builders spotlight is on @Son_of_a_Pigeon
Showing up hungry to learn and not afraid to let everyone see it.
That’s how you grow fast, and it’s what the tribe has always been about.
This is only the start, Ohad.

1/ Week 1 of @solanaturbine Q4 Builders: minted an SPL token and a Metaplex Core NFT on devnet, then updated, transferred and burned a Core asset. Code and every tx: github.com/Digitalenergyllc/…
Holding both sliding doors (for now) 🚐
L side panel still open. Tbilisi → London for Breakpoint, bidding closes 9 PM UTC.
Grab a spot. ⚡
Measured last night on both our RPC nodes, ~2,800 slots each:
Block → confirmed: 211–218 ms median
Chicago and LA within 10 ms of each other
Both on @doublezero. Same view of the chain, whichever region you hit. ⚡
