IT'S MUPPET SEASON

we may have had a little too much fun

solana summit berlin was such a joy congrats to the @superteamde team felt like a mini-breakpoint for europe

ANY FRIEND OF THE @MET_LPARMY IS A FRIEND OF MINE 🔥🪨

.@simonmolitor & @vibhu got something in common 😂

walking the streets of berlin with my wife we hear live music. melancholy and sweet. scores of families eat döners in the grey air. children chasing balloons on the sidewalks. sticky sweet treats drizzled over tiny fingers. aunties huddled around a table preparing lahmacun. young men dapping up the homies. grandfathers sipping tea silently. mothers holding their babies. we are more similar than we are different

.@pattiruss_ literally suffering from success

BEAR MARKET I DON’T GIVE A FUCK IT’S LAMBO SZN IN BERLIN

BERLINMAXXING W/ @SUPERTEAMDE

me: sometimes i feel like a monkey wife: if it makes you feel any better you’re a very talented monkey

LET’S ROCK AND ROLL @YESJESS SOLANA SUMMIT GERMANY KICK OFF

reminder that solana STILL does not have its own tom lee or saylor

behind the scenes solana summit germany… demand for the conference is so high they HAD to increase capacity for the venue tomorrow is going to be BIG

SOLANA

I heard some players were upset they had to bridge their USDT on Ethereum over to Solana to buy-in to @WSOP events That is the point Welcome to the future

A common question we're getting on the Drift relaunch is: why is it taking so long? Why do you even need a 'relaunch' when it was already live? One of the biggest decisions early on was: new program or reuse the old one? We decided to launch with an entirely new program/program ID. Why? 1. The existing program's state was in limbo after the hack. It didn't fully resolve the liquidations because the exploiter's collateral was never marked to 0. We wouldn't want to muddy that state, because it is needed to snapshot what everyone is owed. 2. Security is not something you can just strap on - it takes thoughtful design from the outset. Adding extra security means making breaking changes to on-chain state. Making these changes while providing a migration path for existing state is 10x harder. An analogy - code is like a Jenga tower. Security is at the bottom of the tower. It is very hard to change the blocks at the bottom without toppling the tower. If the code is not in production, though, you can simply put the top part of the tower off to the side and fix the bottom. Next. Why is it taking so long? Part of making a program more secure is lowering the attack surface. Over the years, Drift developers were forced to make less-than-ideal design decisions in order to not change existing code in a non backwards compatible way. In tech circles, we call this accumulating 'tech debt'. Now that the program needs to be completely re-audited from scratch, that debt not only adds heaps of time and cost to the audit schedule, it also increases the attack surface and makes the code hard to reason about. Is this a complete rewrite? No. That would take far too long, and would be unproductive as it would lose all of the hard-fought lessons built into the existing code. Think of it more as mowing the lawn. It's overgrown, and there are weeds everywhere. I'm whacking the legacy problem sections I can find, and trying to make the code easier to audit. I'm not going to catch everything, or have time to fix all tech debt, but I'm fixing all of the top offenders. I'll share more in later tweets of specific changes I've been making, as I want to be as transparent as possible.

it is unnatural to stay the same

The Solana ecosystem is much larger than people realize -- a long way from the 75 devs joke from a few years ago😀 - 1000 apps on the @solanamobile store alone - 2800 builders submitted to @colosseum - There's more content about Solana being produced than hours in a day - 6,000 folks watched the @SolBrothersPod Ecosystem Call simultaneously (and even more after!) - Events happen almost every day around the world (e.g. @SuperteamDE is hosting a 1200 person summit this weekend!) - Solana has covered more than 600 unique teams in the weekly news alone since January (plus hundreds of others on channels like @perps, @solanapayments, @solanagaming and more) The growth is astounding! We're big enough that you can't possibly see every edge and corner, and new teams pop up every minute 💜 The best way to find success on Solana is to tap into the magic of the ecosystem. There are now millions of people who want to see you win.
