Last week was my last week at Consensys. Today is my first day at
@anza_xyz.
I’m taking my talents to Solana.
In my first 100 days, I plan on writing a spec for as much of the Solana protocol as I can get to, prioritizing fee markets and consensus implementations where I believe I can have the highest impact. This is primarily so that I can get up to speed on implementation details as quickly as possible but I hope it will help others contribute to the Solana protocol in the future.
Anza is a Solana R&D firm developing the Agave client. Those of you in Eth land may not have heard much from them, that’s because they have been quietly shipping major improvements to the network over the past year. Anza developers are extremely cracked and I’m excited to get the opportunity to work with them.
I’ve been extremely privileged to work with the
@specialmech and broader Consensys team over the past 2 years and I will continue to work with them in an advisory capacity as a Research Fellow while I focus on my new role. The SMG team is stacked with top talent, and two major new hires have augmented that capacity even further.
@0x81B,
@malleshpai, and the rest of the SMG team will continue to drive outsized impact internally within Consensys, in the Ethereum community, and in blockchain research and development more broadly.
That's all for now. IBRL my fellow manlets.
