SPL Token

Agave 4.0 is now recommended for mainnet validators, featuring improvements such as XDP for Turbine and QUIC-only TPU ingestion. This update brings faster replay stage and several feature-gated SIMDs activations. The changes aim to increase efficiency and capacity for Solana's mainnet validators.

Febo, core engineer at Anza, discusses Pinocchio library and P-Token, which optimize Solana programs and reduce compute costs. The p-token reimplementation of SPL Token cuts costs by an order of magnitude. This leads to a 12-13% recovery of Solana's global block space.

P-Token from Anza is now live on Solana mainnet, offering a optimized rewrite of the SPL Token program with reduced compute usage and new batching features. This update aims to free up block space for the network without altering block limits. The P-Token replaces the underlying code of today's SPL token program with a zero-copy architecture built on Pinocchio.

The author wants to check the distribution of Solana tokens before investing and is looking for a tool to provide an aggregated view of transfer history. They are currently using CoinGecko but find it insufficient. The author seeks recommendations for quick token distribution checks on Solana.

A user tested the Grok-Bankr NFT-injection exploit on their RunLobster setup and nearly approved a transfer proposal for $84. The exploit uses structural attack and SPL token metadata to generate proposals. The user's agent generated a proposal with a confidence score of 0.87.

A new Substreams tool tracks x402 payment settlements on Solana, detecting SPL Token TransferChecked transactions for HTTP 402 payments and extracting key details like payer, recipient, and facilitator. The substream was submitted by user /u/PaulieB79.
