🔥💃 We’re now running Firedancer v0.3 on mainnet! Validators running Firedancer benefit from cutting-edge security, reliability, and performance, improving Solana's liveness and safety. Learn why delegating to AR’s validator supports Solana's future ⇣

We’ve been working on Firedancer since day one, collaborating with Solana client teams to build a secure, high-performance validator tailored to Solana’s needs. This isn’t just a milestone for Firedancer, but the entire ecosystem.

Security is a long-term game. Our integrated security engineering team has been deeply involved in Firedancer from day one: - Performing in-depth security reviews - Implementing a sophisticated fuzzing strategy - Running an active bug bounty program - Hosting and managing security contests - Collaborating with top-tier firms like @Neodyme, @Atredis and @cure53berlin

Back in 2023, our CTO, (@_fel1x) presented the Firedancer security story at Solana Breakpoint, breaking down the architecture and its potential.

Our work continues. In addition to running Firedancer on mainnet, we will continue operating it in testnet to ensure continuous improvements, harden its core, and push the boundaries of security and performance.

Delegating to the Asymmetric Research validator is a vote for safety and security on Solana. Here’s a quick guide to how to get started ⇣

We’re incredibly proud of @jump_firedancer’s progress since inception, and grateful for the ongoing trust of the Solana community. This is just the beginning!
