Alpenglow is live on Solana mainnet.
Finality now targets ~150 ms, and validators pay 0.8 SOL per epoch to vote.
Here’s what it means for institutions staking SOL.
Staking and portfolio tracking have mostly lived in separate places: one app to see what you hold, and another to put it to work.
That changes today for @KryptosConnect users.
Here's what's new:
Underneath the Kryptos interface, staking runs on P2P.org's infrastructure and is non-custodial throughout: assets are delegated directly to validators, not pooled or held by either platform.
We’re ready for Alpenglow.
The P2P.org team is fully prepared for the transition and looking forward to helping make the switch as smooth as possible. ⚡
Alpenglow is pending activation on mainnet-beta.
Alpenglow goes live tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct 21 at ~14:00 UTC. One slot, and TowerBFT retires.
Migration boundary: slot 459,653,000.
24-hour countdown starts soon. Turn on notifications. đź””
P2P.org is now running @get_optimum on the Ethereum mainnet to boost our networking capabilities.
Quicker, more efficient propagation means stronger performance, less bandwidth, and more rewards captured.
We’re excited to be working with Optimum as they push the frontier of decentralized networking!
The Optimum team is pleased to announce our first mainnet deployment, mump2p on Ethereum. With mump2p, data moves across all of Ethereum 2-3x faster, boosting validator performance and network health.
$3.4B of Ethereum stake is already being boosted by mump2p, and we’re now opening up free access for all Ethereum node operators.

What happens when @ARKInvest brings a $1.3 billion venture fund on-chain, Glamsterdam clears its biggest test, and @IBKR embeds @ethereum staking directly into its brokerage platform, all in the first half of October?

⟡ @IBKR launched Ethereum staking for eligible LLC clients on October 13 via its Client Portal Staking Dashboard. @zerohashx provides the validator operations, rewards accounting, and compliance infrastructure. Solana staking is planned as a future addition.
Why does this matter for institutions?
The custody-to-yield distribution pattern established by BNY and Deutsche Bank is now extending to large retail-facing institutional brokerages. zerohash’s Staking-as-a-Service model means Interactive Brokers handles the client relationship while zerohash handles the proof-of-stake infrastructure. Each new network added to the partnership creates incremental validator demand.
