Solana Ecosystem: Agave v4.4.0 Upgrade, Anchor 2 RC2, Formal Spec
A cluster of important Solana protocol milestones dropped: a recommended validator upgrade, 50+ programs on Anchor 2 RC2 with improved transaction efficiency, and a formal protocol specification proposal.
What we know
@toly amplified an account on X's call for all mainnet-beta validators to upgrade to Agave v4.4.0 immediately. Separately, @toly highlighted 50+ Solana programs now running Anchor 2 RC2 with Transaction v1, enabling more instructions per transaction and built-in CU limits. @toly enthusiastically endorsed a proposal to formally specify the Solana protocol — a significant step toward verifiability and ASIC potential. Combined, these signal a maturing, performance-focused Solana dev ecosystem.
