Trestles v0.16.0

We're proud to announce our first release of replicator clients. With replicators there are now three ways to get rewarded for supporting a Solana cluster: validators, stakers and replicators. Validators progress the ledger, stakers give validators credibility by delegating stake to them, and replicators provide ledger storage. Together we see mainnet on the horizon!

Major Features And Improvements

  • Proofs of Replication submitted to validators from new replicator clients
  • Cross-platform client support
  • Improved support for on-chain programming using Rust and BPF
  • Automatic congestion control with dynamic fees
  • Native token inflation
