I’ve been pretty quiet about this, but enough is enough. You should NOT be staking with any validator drastically delaying block production. It HURTS you. This isn’t just about Kiln. It’s others as well. If you are staking with one of these validators, you should move your…
🚨NEWS: @Kiln_finance Under Fire for Sabotaging Solana's Performance - Why Delay Block Times? ✍️ @solace_fm solanafloor.com/news/kiln-unde…
I just created a Yellowstone Shield block list to allow @solana TX senders to skip over leaders who are slow block producers. Wouldn't it be a shame if everyone stopped sending TXs to these leaders? 🥲 #SlowAF Details on @ValidatorsApp validators.app/yellowstone-sh…

Internet capital markets require confidentiality. Today, we're excited to introduce the development of Confidential SPL Token — a unified standard merging core SPL programs to bring native confidentiality to @solana. The same SPL experience — now encrypted. ↓↓↓

Thrilled to share that the rSpaceX token will be minted on @solana using a @RepublicCrypto-created security token asset standard. Solana’s high-performance infrastructure is purpose-built for tokenizing real-world assets at scale, making it a natural fit for unlocking access to…

Poof! As of epoch 804, the epoch accounts hash is now gone. Enjoy some spare perf
Big caveat that: - I've only just started tracking the data, this isn't something I track regularly or have looked up before - Block times are logged by Firedancer, averages calculated by me, ignoring skipped slots But here are the 50 slowest leaders with more than 50 slots.…
