Last Orders? Independent Validator Meetup · Breakpoint 2026
Independent Solana validators are meeting in London during Breakpoint.
On 6 November the Solana Foundation changed its delegation programme. Many independent validators ran at a loss through the bear market, and some may not be able to keep running.
So before anyone calls time, let's get a round in. This is an evening to meet, have a few drinks, and talk honestly about what comes next.
What's on: 6pm: doors open, drinks and bites 7:15pm: speakers and open discussion 10pm: last orders. For tonight, at least.
Who it's for: Independent validator operators, and the people who work with them. Places are limited, so registrations need approval.
Where: Smith's Bar, Brook Green Hotel, 170 Shepherd's Bush Road, W6 7PB. About 12 minutes' walk from Olympia.
Food and drinks: a set buffet, and a bar tab until it runs dry.
