Altare 7 was available for some users and Cryogenic
The eligibility is random and limited to <6% of users, there’s no way you can change your chances of getting access
Original Messages
@everyone Over the next few hours, we will begin releasing Altare 7 powered our 15th generation software to a select number of users, alongside Arc 4 Agent
Let us know what you think and if you encounter (you probably will) any bugs. Please DM me in such case. Avoid sending any screenshots anywhere of the new console please, keep it to yourself or I will personally suspend your account. Thank you (:

It was announced that a large amount of nodes will be available in altare 7. Along with the message came a poll Reset Altare? Yes No.
- Yes 114 votes 53%
- No 101 votes 47%
Original Messages
@everyone With Altare 7, we are getting access to over 5x the amount of hardware we currently have, we can deploy up to 300 nodes and scale the host up now
Our new console, website, help center and panel are also about to go into production
Would you all be happy with a reset to clear up the nodes and so we can set up our infrastructure a bit better?

Good morning @everyone
Heliactyl Next 15's development will be delayed, and Next 14's 1st generation codebase will be extended to 2028-2029
v7 will launch with Next 14.2 instead but with many patches made to the API to make it stable and usable
Altare 7 will launch in the next 36 hours
10/5/2025, 11:42:04 AM
@here Altare 7 was delayed due to issues with the deployment of Radar 15. We’ll let everyone know when the new release date is available It will likely be today or tomorrow ^
10/5/2025, 11:42:04 AM
In order to get the host out as fast as possible for people, we’ll release with less nodes and then add them over the next few hours
Core regions (London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Mumbai, etc) will be present immediately
Release!

<:altare:1415667527320600699> Altare 7 (beta) is here.
https://console.altr.cc/ https://control.altr.cc/ (new panel)
Not all locations are available yet. We're working adding the rest of the locations in South America and Falkenstein/Helsinki from Altare 6. This will be available later today.
The console is much more stable yet, even though we haven't pushed the rewrite yet. This will happen in the next few days when we're confident in it.
Elsewhere, we're aware of the huge amount of allegations and accusations against Altare due to misconduct from a former team member. We addressed this a few days and expect no disruption to Altare's operations or to our reputation.
You can also manage your server via the bot now - try the link command.
This is just the start of Altare 7, we just wanted to get it out. There is a LOT more coming over the next few hours and days.
Console update
The console got updated with significative UI changes.

@everyone
The first part of the new console update is here (:
You can try out the Casino, currently it's in beta with 6 games. It's completely fair, the backend is fairly simple and the chances are essentially 50 50. There is now a new layout, and lots of small improvements and bug fixes including to the AFK page and editing a server's package.
Mobile support is also a lot better now, although still not entirely usable. All of the other new features will come tomorrow
Less time and a new company
Ether made a new company called Foundry that will develop software. This was announced in the Sryzen discord server and Altare's discord server.

- The latest news from Altare's open source software & AI company, Foundry
Skyport
panel@2.0.0andskyportd@2.0.0will be joining Radar 15, Heliactyl Next 15 (and Cryogenic 15), Arc 4 next monthWe aren't entirely there yet, but skyportd 2 is complete. It will replace Argon and Skyport 0.x as the true replacement for Pterodactyl. skyportd now works seamlessly with Heliactyl Next, Pterodactyl and Skyport. Everything is unified and will work together
Skyport 2 inherits the Units system from Argon, now with Units v4, but now with the new skyportd daemon built in Rust for much better stability. And it also comes with perfect 1:1 support for Pterodactyl eggs, Pelican eggs, Argon v2/v3 Units and Skyport 0.x images
- Skyport 2 vs Pterodactyl
Skyport has a much better, faster and more stable daemon. A new unified client & application API built from the ground up, with the legacy Pterodactyl compatible API too. Better monitoring, statistics for nodes. Built in (optional) Radar 15 for anti abuse. A better, easier to use frontend, a much faster and easier to scale backend built in TypeScript.
- What happens at Altare
Altare 8 is planned, and will make the move to Skyport and Heliactyl Next 15 as promised. Everything is on schedule for November. It will happen. All of our poor performance problems will be gone thanks to the full rewrite of the console (that runs Next 15). You'll all have a much better experience after this
10/20/2025, 12:03:23 PM
This means that by Altare 8, we will be running entirely Altare built software with close to nothing external
Ether also said he was probably going to take a step back from working on Altare.

@everyone
besides this:
I'm probably taking a step back from working on Altare. A lot has been going on recently, and I've been mainly focusing on upgrading our stack of software and making it open source in order to resolve the frequent issues people experience
Since the host began last year I've been the one that designs everything, maintains the console and all of the nodes and it's quite time consuming. I don't have much time anymore due to personal reasons ex. the fact I probably have a full time job soon
The host itself currently doesn't earn anything, we primarily operate through startup funds & credits. Subsequently Altare will spend $80,000/mo on hardware and operational costs next month and Altare 8 is on time for release
For me, despite the host being the largest in it's segment of the industry, this is really just a project I like working on, I am not paid as the CEO. So for me, this is not a good source of income
I still want to follow the promise I made in February of Altare being the forever free 24/7 host with no ads so don't expect me to ever resign or the host to shut down or change from it's current position
thank you (:
The primary goal for November/December is scaling up. 10/20/2025, 4:31:19 PM
For Nov/Dec, the primary goal is 1. a completely refactored backend stack and new console and 2. to scale up to ~$130,000/mo in compute so that we have at minimum 220 nodes
Update coming soon or something
10/11/2025, 4:10:16 PM
@everyone The next console update will be later, and then a major one tomorrow
All performance issues will be fixed finally, as clustering will be fully functional
- Introducing Altare AI
We are launching many new AI and developer focused products including the Altare Arc 4 family, Altare AI Gateway & SDK powered by Altare edge inference, powered by our own TPUs and inference machines
The Arc 4 family is multimodal, trained on text, video, audio. Our largest, flagship model Arc 4 Max is the first SOTA (or close to) model from Altare. The whole family of models is the strongest in coding and agentic use we’ve ever had, with Altare Arc 4 (Thinking) beating Claude Sonnet 4.5 in most agentic tasks. The base model is a full fine tune, and includes new data from Parabola 3
All models are unified under our AI Gateway, with access to over 30+ open source models running on our fast inference alongside Arc, with external OpenAI and Anthropic models coming soon too. Our TS SDK for Altare AI will be available next week too plus some other nice things we’ve been working on at the host side
- Introducing Altare KV1
We have quite a lot of experience with key value databases considering since 2020 our dashboard has completely relied on it. I accidentally made an extremely fast regional key value database in Rust while experimenting so we’re turning it into a service. It will be completely free for your first billion queries
- New unified billing
Coins will be renamed to Credits and remain exactly how they are. Now we will also introduce account balance in either USD, GBP or EUR. Each month, in order to give our normal users access to our paid services, you will have a quota and be able to convert some of your credits to account balance to try Arc, AI Gateway/SDK, KV1, etc. Gems will be moved to be specifically under the free hosting, and so will most economy features. We may use credits for other services in the future that would be offered for free
Invoices for paid services are automatically issued on the 1st of each month and will automatically take from your account balance. There is quota and a negative balance limit to prevent abuse
Console clustering
10/12/2025, 9:49:50 PM
@everyone The console is now at least 10x faster
All requests are now routed between two different console instances (plato and aristotle), and then it is routed between 4 different panel API instances (eistein, hawking, curie, tesla)
This is between two different FRA regions in the event of an outage, it will fall back to the other region. And it's significantly faster than before
Foundry brand announcement
10/29/2025, 1:27:42 PM
Altare, Sryzen, Foundry and ZTL will merge to form the new Foundry brand. We will have another announcement later
Question
10/31/2025, 12:52:25 PM
Would you all rather just 4-5 locations and a very high performance and stable service?
Original Messages
@everyone for altare 8, which will probably just become foundry free hosting or something;
would you all rather just 4-5 locations (nyc, london, frankfurt, singapore, something else) and a very high performance and stable service? the absolute best possible performance we could offer and likely multiple months of 100% uptime
Yeah Altare 8 was not called foundry free hosting
the economy would need to be limited a lot to prevent the disaster of altare 7's economy but its possible
happy halloween to anyone who celebrates it
Heliactyl 15 is "generally available"
11/3/2025, 1:44:14 PM
@everyone Heliactyl Next 15 reaches general availability / stable release on 19 November. I promise Altare 8 before then as we’ve always ran the developer preview version of our software in production
Foundry announcement
11/3/2025, 11:52:20 PM
@everyone
Everything is going to become integrated under the Foundry brand
The Discord server isn't entirely set up yet nor have we got boosts for it, but everyone will soon be autojoined and moved here: https://discord.gg/9MCWSMYTwW
Next week, we're launching our NeoProtect alternative called AltProtect, and the Foundry AI console, with Altare 8, Heliactyl Next 15 this month too. Everything is likely going to make use of specialised Foundry Arc 4 AI models where possible, with as much of our software unified as possible
A notice: Foundry's Discord only has our open source software available right now. It will be updated for Altare & all our other things soon
Altare 8 features
11/6/2025, 2:20:34 PM
@everyone
- a completely rebuilt console from the ground up with a new UI + light/dark mode, no more freezing up and constantly outages
- a much more fun economy with a better leaderboard and transaction system
- a new service called Altare Pay which lets you pay for many other things (10+ launch partners) with your Altare balance
- a points system so you get rewards for spending your balance
- a whole new plans system and a new Altare Plus system with way more benefits than the old Altare Pro
- ability to upgrade and buy things with actual money instead of using one of the (unfortunately) many black markets 🤣
- way more nodes per location and much better performance
- new coupons system for free coins and we'll hide them around the place. perhaps
THISISTHEFIRSTCOUPONwill work after launch (:- ai chat is back now with the Arc 4.1 family of models
- sftp credentials and everything actually make sense now and the whole console isn't the most inconsistent thing ever
- referrals 2.0 where it actually shows who you invited and you get extra if they actively use the host
- there's loads more that's just what i can remember off the top of my head
how does that sound for altare 8? or not enough
Altare 8 status update
11/7/2025, 9:30:05 AM
Development is progressing nicely, we are taking the time to get this right
Original Message
@everyone Altare 8
Good morning. I wanted to take a moment to follow up regarding the previous announcement on Altare 8 as we continue preparing it for release. Development is progressing nicely; we're currently focusing on ensuring our new console and infrastructure are as stable and secure as they are fast. We are taking the time to get this right.
That said, we recognize one of the biggest challenges we currently face is abuse. Over the past few weeks, we've seen a heavy increase in bots and malicious users on our platform. Incidents such as these can and have caused instability and downtime, so fighting this is our top priority. We are upping our verification systems, improving our monitoring, and constantly expanding to keep Altare reliable for genuine users.
As for me, to those who may or may not already know me - I have recently joined Altare as Chief Operating Officer, and I will personally be overseeing all operations and community improvements. Over the coming days, I'll be going through every suggestion you've shared. If you haven't already posted any suggestions, now is the perfect time to. I'd love to hear what you want to see in Altare next.
Altare 8 is going to be the biggest and best version yet, and your feedback makes that possible. Thank you for trusting Altare and standing with us as we build something stronger.
- Sabrina Goom Chief Operating Officer

Pterodactyl deprecation
Pterodactyl was finally deprecated.
Original Message
11/9/2025, 4:11:48 PM
@here Just a note for new Altare: the Pterodactyl panel has been deprecated and it will be shut down on January 1, 2026. Accounts that originally registered for Altare after July 1, 2025 will no longer be able to access the panel on Altare 8
11/9/2025, 4:13:38 PM
The Pterodactyl panel is a huge contribution to our instability issues and we would rather only expose the API. As more and more features are built directly into Heliactyl and our Cryogenic daemon moves further away from supporting Pterodactyl, it becomes more difficult to maintain support
Altare Ads
Matt asks if it would be fine if altare had non obtrusive ads provided by their Altare Ads platform
Original Message
11/9/2025, 6:30:32 PM
@everyone Would you all be fine with Altare having ads? They would be non obtrusive, powered by our own in-house Altare Ads platform and be dismissible. It wouldn't cover any part of the console so you can use everything as normal
We would have a publisher platform to allow people to use our ads network, and we will partner with as many hosts as we can to offer them access to our ads network to publish on it or have ads shown on their sites
We have found a lot of interest and a few launch partners for this. If you're a host, any sort of site or someone who wants to run ads on our network, please DM me if interested
This means we could expand our infrastructure and have potentially 4x the amount of nodes, able to pay our staff in the future if this expands well, so on We are already beginning to build the economy that will power the free hosting industry, with a unified economy network and Altare Pay
This would launch alongside it to help fund what we want to build
Altare 8 release announcement
Altare 8 will officially release on 13 Nov 2025 at 16:00 GMT 11/13/2025, 4:00:00 PM

@everyone Altare 8 will officially release on 13 Nov 2025 at 16:00 GMT 11/13/2025, 4:00:00 PM
Altare 8 is the biggest update we've ever had. In 7 years, we have never replaced our original codebase in it's entirety and been successful at it. We have never had such a stable, well designed and fast console before, nor have we ever had as many features as we do now.
Everything works seamlessly. The console, file manager, everything just loads almost instantly, even at high demand and scale. We have both dark and light mode now and the whole console and brand has been redesigned.
Subusers has been deprecated in favor of Tenants. All of your credits (formerly coins), servers, resources and so on are housed under your tenant, and you can invite members to it to manage it. Now if you're running a server, your other team members can earn credits and upgrade the server, so on or do anything that you could do.
There's lots more, including both Google & Discord OAuth, our ads platform, things via emails actually working, full tenant & account wide audit logs, so on.
Updated economy
- 0.35 credits per minute on AFK page
- 85 credits for you per referral, 350 for the user who signed up
- If your referral code is used in checkout when buying credits, you also earn 40% of it
- 30-95 credits per day (more via streak per usual)
- Invites/boosts unknown right now, invites may stay the same
- Decreased store prices
Original Message

Hi @everyone
We will be changing the way our economy works for the most part. Until now, the most profitable and easiest way to earn was via the AFK page. However, this does not make sense as the AFK page earns us nothing. Currently, our goal is to offer the best possible services in the long term and keep our promise of providing high performance free 24/7 hosting. To do this, we would like to begin turning a profit by the end of the year
The updates rates are:
- 0.35 credits per minute on AFK page
- 85 credits for you per referral, 350 for the user who signed up
- If your referral code is used in checkout when buying credits, you also earn 40% of it
- 30-95 credits per day (more via streak per usual)
- Invites/boosts unknown right now, invites may stay the same
It's not that huge of a change as the store prices have also decreased and the economy is a lot more balanced. And we also expect performance to increase by a very noticeable amount, even on Asia locations, likely more than the industry standard
Altare 8 Beta launch
After some delays a beta version with 1 location finally released. Later, there were a lot of issues and more locations were added.

It’s delayed because I fell asleep and didn’t do enough yesterday
11/13/2025, 11:31:28 PM
@here Altare will probably release tomorrow
Every single bit of our stack we have built ourselves. We are running Heliactyl Next 15 as the console, Altare Crucible as the web server & reverse proxy, Altare Flux 3 as the security & WAF, Altare Plasma as the SSH client & server, Altare Tecton 2 for CAPTCHAs, Altare Ion as the JavaScript runtime for the console, Altare Chronos 2 as the monitoring system, AEL 25 as our Debian based distro for the OS on the nodes/webservers, Altare Firestorm as the replacement for normal WebSockets & MQTT
I don't think any of you will find a host that has built literally everything themselves
Today.

11/16/2025, 12:24:12 AM
@here
We’re actively working on a fix for the issue that’s delaying the release of Altare. While this is happening, we need everyone to stop spamming the same questions over and over; it doesn’t help, it just is annoying and slows everything down. Anyone who keeps asking about the release will be banned.
Remember that this is a free hosting service. We’re putting in the work to give you fast, reliable hosting at no cost and we still have our own personal lives to manage. Show some patience while we finish resolving the problem.
11/16/2025, 1:57:51 AM
