Scheduled: Solana Mainnet – Upgrade Agave & Jito clients to v2.2.17

Scheduled for Jul 10, 12:00 UTC - Jul 13, 12:00 UTC

Scheduled

We will be upgrading our Agave and Jito clients on the Solana Mainnet to version v2.2.17 on 2025-07-10 at 12:00 UTC.

This update includes stability improvements, enhanced vote transaction handling, and incremental optimizations in validator runtime. It ensures continued alignment with upstream Solana network health and prepares nodes for future cluster upgrades.

We are upgrading from version v2.2.16.

No downtime is expected, though users may experience minor RPC delays or vote processing gaps during the rollout window.
