Anza Sets Dec. 14 Start for Agave v4.5 Feature Activations
The two-stage rollout is expected to shorten the release cycle by one week.

Anza plans to recommend on Dec. 7 that Solana mainnet validators adopt Agave v4.5, with feature activations expected to begin Dec. 14.
Validators representing 20% of stake weight will adopt v4.5 first, followed by other validators. The process is expected to shorten the release cycle by one week.
Feature activations are expected to resume Nov. 19 after a pause through the Breakpoint conference. Anza maintains Agave, Solana’s validator client. The schedule follows an earlier Agave 4.4.1 deadline for Solana validators.
