v0.9.0
Validator
Changes
- Initial public release: an independent, Zig-native Solana validator client, byte-for-byte behavior-compatible with Agave by design.
- Pure-Zig cryptography (ed25519, blake3, bn254/alt_bn128, poseidon, LtHash) — no Firedancer FFI dependency.
- Zig sBPF interpreter stack and CPI dispatch (legacy interpreter originally ported from Sig and since heavily reworked; the
vex_bpf2rebuild is an independent spec-for-spec implementation — seePROVENANCE.md). - Conflict-DAG parallel transaction executor.
- AF_XDP zero-copy networking (receive path).
- VexLedger: a Zig-native append-segment blockstore.
Programs
Changes
- Vexor-authored vote program (
src/vex_svm/voteforge/) shipped as the sole vote executor.
