We are this early. Solana hasn’t even hit a measly petabyte of ledger history

The new archive format is easy to parse, verifiable (soon with Firedancer), and support streaming.
Gone are the days of dealing with .tar.zst dumps of RocksDBs 🥶

The Bee is incredibly capable, and opening up new markets.

More to come.

I’m applying to join the SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee, given I’ve been over the target on crypto for ten years and done actual work on investor protection standards.

RT if you want to endorse my application as government is of the people by the people for the people.

Re blockchain code diversity:

Reproducing complex deterministic software is nigh impossible with typical system programming practices.

It took us over a year to rebuild Solana's SVM and understand it better than anyone else. A quick recap:

I'm connecting my X account with Code so I can receive tips from people all over the world.

I've been meaning to make a simple demo of how to lay out a Solana project with separate program and API crates so you don't go to hell when you die.

This looks silly when you do it on a helloworld program so I've done it to Ore instead github.com/kevinheavey/or…

There's been exactly one ChatGPT creation that actually has stuck with me.

I asked it to create a yiddish word for the guy in the chat who posts a link that someone already posted a few minutes before. And it came up with 'Linknudnik'.

And now that's become a GC fixture

Blessed are the spammers, for those who will overcome them shall inherit the metaverse

Anza releases proposed Solana congestion fixes on devnet | The Block theblock.co/post/287942/an…

🚨 Security Alert!

Scammers are now using Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks to bypass wallet transaction security.

Our defenses block over 95% of scams, but these new tactics require extra vigilance. 👀

.@Solana testnet validators, the v1.18.11 release is now deployed to devnet, recommended for use on testnet. Please upgrade ASAP to help us start analyzing the effects of the proposed congestion fixes. github.com/solana-labs/so…

Josh Wolfe “Founders are often surprised by how much harder it is to raise the next round. It's like the difference between being judged as a kid and as an adult. The next time you raise money, it's not enough to be promising. You have to be delivering results.” — PG

Since this morning, we are excited to share that +95% of Hey Wallet trades are succeeding.

Even though it’s been a rough week for all of us, it has, surprisingly, brought a lot of engineering teams (and competitors) in the Solana ecosystem much closer together.

We have been…

We have good news! Phantom’s transaction success rates have significantly improved.

For the past 24 hours, our metrics show that transactions have been landing nearly 90% of the time, almost a 5x improvement from a week ago. Sending and swapping in Phantom should be much more…

what's awesome about open source development is that the only thing you need to enact change is persistence (and be right). special thanks to JJJJ◼️ for really hard pushback on bad analysis
