Introducing the Solana BP Badge, a devkit for learning about and exploring Solana by building apps, playing with hardware, and winning prizes.
Watch @spacemandev explain it here, and check out more at solana.com/breakpoint/badge
One week with Alpenglow ⛰️
Solana Alpenglow 1-week later 🧵
With Alpenglow now live, Solana is moving faster than ever and we're seeing some interesting changes in how Solana builders are using our infrastructure here at @Alchemy 🧵
Durable nonce deprecation, anyone?
Durable Nonces will be deprecated next year on @solana! 🚨
If you do not want to read the guide, here is a video explaining the new alternatives:
18 days until Scale or Die.
See you soon, London.

Solana apps can now support hardware wallet sign-in via off-chain message signing.
hey @solana_devs off-chain message signing is live. check it out: View article

🚨SOLANA'S 2026 SO FAR, BY THE NUMBERS:
Protocol upgrades:
- Slot times halved from 400ms to 200ms
- Max tx size raised from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes
- Token transfer compute cut 98% with P-Token
- Finality cut from 12.8s to ~150ms with Alpenglow
- Block compute limit raised from 60M to 100M CUs
Adoption:
- RWA holders grew from 126K to 831K
- RWA value grew from $873M to $4.87B
- Tokenised stocks grew from 115 to 2,036
- Spot ETF inflows grew from $766M to $1.6B
That's fast.
Light takes about 134 milliseconds to circle the Earth
With Alpenglow, @solana now reaches finality in about 150 milliseconds.
“The 150 millisecond number is basically the speed of light around the globe.”
@bw_solana, CEO of @anza_xyz
Solana Developers retweeted
Fast today and ready for tomorrow.
Solana has been early to quantum readiness and remains ahead in its preparation.
@anza_xyz's @qkniep and Alex join @nocircuit on The Stack to walk through Solana’s post-quantum path: well-researched, aligned across client teams, and ready to deploy.
Full episode 👇
Solana is ready for quantum & whatever comes next with AI.
Anza's cryptography team is world class.
What would Solana’s consensus look like in a post-quantum world?
Meet Quantumglow: a proposed adaptation of Alpenglow that aims to protect consensus while preserving fast finality.
@jacobvcreech and @qkniep explain how it works. Full video below👇
