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 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.
Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉
Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.

Validators be prepared; some guidance is making its way around.
Update to v4.3.2
No Firedancer/Frankendancer, we should only be running agave.
ART3MIS will be switching in a few hours 🫡
@Solana's Roadster moment happens in epoch 1064.
🚨 Alpenglow update: epoch 1064 on mainnet-beta is tracking earlier than our estimate. Slots are running faster than projected, which pulls the epoch boundary forward.
We’ll share an updated countdown time tomorrow morning once more data is in.
Here is why timing moves. 🧵

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.
