BAM Early Mainnet is Live!

Hey everyone!

BAM mainnet is here, and as part of the rollout the following are happening:

  • Onboarding early validators to mainnet: If you’re interested in joining, reply here, post in the validator channel on Jito Developers Discord, or reach out directly (email: alejandro@jito.wtf / TG: @alejandromorante).
  • Open-sourcing validator client: Code repo at github.com/jito-labs/bam-client
  • BAM Nodes live in 3 regions, with more coming soon: Currently live in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and NYC. Additional nodes live soon in Singapore, Tokyo, Salt Lake City, and Dublin.

These steps kick off the path toward fully launching, open-sourcing and growing BAM; enabling validators, node operators, and developers to bring verifiability, privacy, and programmability to Solana’s block-building.
