We are upgrading to Shipyard Portugal, a @superteam initiative to scale communities! 🚢🇵🇹
We're scaling our support for Portugal's ecosystem, just as we did for 17 teams in the previous Colosseum, but even better this time!
Our mission: Make Portugal a Solana powerhouse by creating a launchpad for founders, developers, and creators. 🇵🇹
What you can expect:
⚓ Host meetups and builder-focused events
⚓ Support teams from idea to funded protocol
⚓ Promote Portuguese-based projects on the global Solana stage
⚓ Build an ecosystem connecting builders, capital, and institutions

Anchor is "horribly inefficient" in some cases. These are Peter Keay's words, not ours.
Native Rust is already significantly cheaper than Anchor. Pinocchio, the newer library he covers in his talk, is cheaper still, and the gap matters for every token transfer your users make.
Your agent will use Anchor by default. Here's why that's a problem.

@ShipyardPRT have been doing incredible work and has gone relatively unnoticed if I am honest
If anyone gets that gig it should be them; a lot of thankless work has gone into that and they're great guys
We recorded the talks from our March Braga Blockchain meetup.
First up: @microchipgnu (Luís Freitas, Frames) on a decade of crypto cycles, each one technically right, each one built for the wrong user.
His bet: AI agents are the user crypto that was always waiting for.
