Digital Energy is now listed under Private Services on solana.com/rpc
Shared Solana mainnet RPC from a validator operator's own bare metal in Chicago. Free tier, no card required.

Thanks @SolanaFndn
All six nodes mitigated, mainnet and testnet.
Heads up: nft -f and sysctl -w don't survive a reboot. Persist them (systemd oneshot for the nft table, /etc/sysctl.d for the sysctls) until you're booted on a patched kernel.
Best of five: 318 ms. Solana wins by 168 ms.
Good thing I run the validators instead of racing them. β‘
Can you beat Solana? π
Block finality: ~150 ms
Your reflexes: ?
Try it π

Well deserved, Ohad. Learning in public is the fastest way to level up. π₯
This weekβs Builders spotlight is on @Son_of_a_Pigeon
Showing up hungry to learn and not afraid to let everyone see it.
Thatβs how you grow fast, and itβs what the tribe has always been about.
This is only the start, Ohad.

1/ Week 1 of @solanaturbine Q4 Builders: minted an SPL token and a Metaplex Core NFT on devnet, then updated, transferred and burned a Core asset. Code and every tx: github.com/Digitalenergyllc/β¦
2/ Token balances live in ATAs, not wallets, and the sender pays a new holder's ATA rent. A Core NFT is one account. Owner and update authority are separate roles: after the transfer, only the new owner could burn it.
Holding both sliding doors (for now) π
L side panel still open. Tbilisi β London for Breakpoint, bidding closes 9 PM UTC.
Grab a spot. β‘

We've published on DoubleZero Edge since day one. Opening it to builders' data feeds is the right next step. β‘
Solana's coolest van needs more logos. Grab a spot before it's gone. πβ‘
π SOLANA VAN AUCTION β DAY 2
$7,000+ bid volume. 15+ bids. And the competition is heating up π₯
@vibhu just outbid @DigitalEnergyX
CURRENT LEADERS:
Dodge - Right Sliding Door
@FavenMarkets - Fender
@SuperteamUKR - Right Fender
@akashnet - Right Door
@DigitalEnergyX - Left Sliding Door
The van is turning into a battlefield. And we're only on Day 2.
Who's making the next move? π
Answered. Both our mainnet nodes are on v4.4.0-rc.1-jito as of today: standby first, then primary. β‘
π¨ Mainnet-beta validators: we're looking for volunteers to bring 10% of stake to Agave v4.4.0-rc.1 by EOD Friday, Oct 30 per routine upgrade procedure.
github.com/anza-xyz/agave/reβ¦
Per @Austin_Federa, @doublezero only slightly eases the pain of not colocating. The incentive to colocate stays.
We run our validator from Singapore anyway. Geographic spread doesn't happen by accident. β‘
Now listed as x402-enabled on solana.com/rpc.
AI agents can pay per request, no account or API key needed. β‘

Running validators taught us how the chain works. The next six weeks of Q4 Builders is about building on it. Day 1 done. β‘
Locking in with a new wave of @solana Builders from around the world.
Canβt wait to see what they ship over the next six weeks.
Agave v4.4.0-rc.0 is out, and @bw_solana says it's ready for minor adoption.
Our testnet validator is already on 4.4 beta. Mainnet waits for the matching @jito_sol build, then the standby upgrades first. β‘
