Solana Agave 2.0 upgrade reference
A quick reference on the Solana node client transition to Agave and the deprecated methods
In brief
Agave is the Rust-based Solana node client that is also a fork of the original Solana Labs client.
The primary purpose of Agave replacing the original Solana Labs client is make the network multi-client. The multi-client part mostly means the introduction of another node client — the C-based Firedancer.
Nodes are expected to upgrade to Agave v2.0 by October 21, 2024.
For you as a developer, this means there are a few methods that will be deprecated with other methods replacing them. The methods that are getting the deprecation have already been outdated for quite a bit of time and all of the replacement methods (except for isBlockhashValid) aren't new. So the chances are you won't be significantly affected.
