Solana Name Service is migrating every existing .sol domain to .sns, and holders caught in the August 17 snapshot get a matching new .sol domain for free on the Solana Record Service. The upgrade is automatic with no claim step, but .sol resolution pauses at slot 452,825,395 in mid to late October, so .sns becomes the name to use for payments.
Anchor v2.0.0-rc.1 is a complete rewrite of Solana's most widely used program framework, rebuilt on Pinocchio with binaries over 90% smaller and compute costs three to six times lower than v1. The release candidate ships coverage-guided fuzzing through Crucible, plus a profiler, a step debugger, and LCOV coverage as first-class CLI subcommands.
Coinbase Developer Platform has brought its SQL API to Solana in beta, letting developers query SPL Token and Token-2022 activity with plain SQL instead of running an indexer. Two datasets ship at launch, with 500ms freshness to the tip of the chain and 1,000 free queries a month.
Kalshi's live order book is now streaming on DoubleZero Edge, making it the first prediction market to distribute market data over a multicast network and the second venue on Edge after Solana. Four feeds went live at launch, covering full L2 depth and top of book across every sports event contract and crypto perps market Kalshi lists, and Kalshi is waiving its revenue share for the first year.
The Solana Foundation open-sourced Tokens, the codebase behind tokens.xyz, publishing the website, the Assets API, and the internal tooling that tiers each token mint under an MIT license. Tokens covers roughly 300 canonical assets and maps every mint that represents them, so a single Bitcoin page carries cbBTC, WBTC, xBTC, and zenBTC ranked on trading activity rather than pool size alone.
Altitude launched Altitude Accounting, a crypto accounting automation tool that classifies every transaction and syncs it to QuickBooks Online, cutting manual reconciliation at month-end.
