Solana announced upcoming changes that improve decentralization - decrease validator costs by 80% by removing vote fees (new consensus mech) - finalize a verifying full node that runs on consumer to support at home verification (built by Overclock | Solana Validator) Interesting

These validators have committed to keeping Solana decentralized, ultra-fast, and healthy. We are lucky to welcome them all to the Marinade family.

DoubleZero mainnet beta. This fall.

Introducing BAM: The Block Assembly Marketplace that revolutionizes how Solana processes transactions. Private. Transparent. Verifiable. This is how Solana wins ⬇️

Excited to be a part of this 👾

Jito is setting the gold standard for token alignment. Jito now plans to route 100% of Block Engine + new BAM fees to their DAO treasury (prev split ~50/50 with Labs), following their 39/40 score on Blockworks Research' transparency framework forum.jito.network/t/jip-24-jito-…

Over 250 validators (representing over 9% of @Solana stake) have joined @DoubleZero's testnet. 🧪 As we prepare for DoubleZero's formal launch, let’s lay out the benefits and fees for validators, across the short-term, medium-term, and long-term. ↓

Our primary validator with 0.395% of mainnet stake is now running DoubleZero. Where we at 🧐

Overclock will be voting Yes on SIMD-0326, which integrates AlpenGlow’s Votor protocol into Solana. While concerns about limited validator incentives for performant voting may be valid, we think they can be addressed at a future time. IBRL 🏔️🌞⛷️ forum.solana.com/t/simd-0326-pr…
