the best way to experience what it's like to be VIP9 on Binance is simply to trade on Solana
Markouts for SOL/USDC trades in epoch 940 against Binance mid, incl of fees, show us that routing through titan or jup to a prop AMM will generally give you a better price than any CEX

Introducing the Solana RPC Working Group
Its mission is to advance Solana's open-source RPC stack, making the read layer more accessible for all.
Built in the open by @triton_one, @Helius, @JupiterExchange, @anza_xyz, and @SolanaFndn 🧵

.@Solana beat every centralized exchange to market with $SPCX, and didn't experience downtime from the demand like Coinbase and Robinhood.
There's no need for an apology blogpost or tweet like Binance or other crypto exchanges because multiple issuers competed to be first to market with as much depth as possible.
Some made it and some didn't, but users got choices. That's competition.
Decentralization isn't a philosophical touchstone, it's a feature that directly leads to better outcomes for users.
Bookmark and RT this in 5 years when Solana powers the majority of global markets.

Solana is for many things, but traders are who decide if a network survives long term in the age of revenue.
You can build the most amazing city, but if no one spends money there, it’s just Ohio.
Excited to see where this goes.
Congrats to @ramzyyalii @MacroMate8 @yo_itsmatt @bl8_runner and many others.

Meet Frontier Traders, a new program and product from @SolanaFndn:
Trade in size ($500 million monthly) as a VIP practically anywhere on @solana and get magically rewarded.
Not trading in size? You can still qualify for rewards by trading select assets on offer from the ecosystem, powered by @torqueprotocol.
First campaign goes live tomorrow for SpaceX.

If you're moving in size onchain in Solana, the only option to guarantee the best prices is through @Titan_Exchange DART.
The only onchain router that guarantees that your fill is executed against the best quotes right at execution time. The real OGs know.

Perpetuals are one of the most important financial primitives in crypto.
Solana makes it viable to run them fully onchain, without sacrificing the performance real participants and institutions require.
We want to support teams building onchain 👇

fully agentic coding is essentially death by a thousand papercuts

> The real story of this era will be who manages to avoid harming themselves in their AI psychosis.
this checks out and i see this in a few programmers and non-programmers i have met over the years. programmers feel they can do everything themelves. non-programmers suddenly feel they can program production code. LLM psychosis induces hybris, should be met with humility, IMO.
> Without fully endorsing all their ideas, I’m now in the LeCun/Marcus camp on LLMs. I don’t think models like this will ever be able to program, I think the process matters. I think that deep learning is still the solution, but real programming agents will need world models, not some RLVR shit that comments out the failing test and tells you all the tests are now passing.
i dont know enough about world models (but i will study up now!) but i think the part about "LLMs get 80% right and then screw up the polish" is consistent with my experience and i wonder if it's a fundamental limit
i don't know if i resonate so much with george's writings because we have the same name or believe similar things, or because i used limera1n as a kid but the last few writings hit the spot for me

The best price for spot SOL, BTC, and ZEC is on Solana.
Now the game is simply tokenization sourcing liquidity to reproduce this for all spot assets getting this in front of users.
Fills are even better than offchain. Do you realize how incredible that is?
Decentralized/open infra produces better outcomes. It just takes more time. It took 6 years for Solana DeFi.
Long term games.

ethena and solana are a match made in heaven and it’s showing: we added half a billion TVL in a week

May 23
Ethena's TVL on @Solana has crossed $570m. Up from $50m thirty days ago. The growth on Solana now makes it @Ethena's second-largest chain outside of Ethereum.

The best place to trade $BTC is starting to be @solana.
In Jupiter cbBTC-USDC $5k to $20k fills, both buyer and seller medians have recently moved below zero, meaning users are getting outright price improvement versus the pre-fill Binance reference before even counting Binance fees.
The improvement also coincides with prop AMM share picking up.
The next question is when does price discovery start to move onchain?
May 20
The best place to trade @Zcash is starting to be @solana.
Across $500 to $3k ZEC/USDC fills this year, Solana beat Binance’s executable ZEC/USDC book by ~7 bps at the median versus VIP 9 and won ~62% of comparisons.
The comparison replays Binance’s ZEC/USDC order book and walks the same zcash:native size immediately before each Solana fill.
Still small clips, but a real signal that long-tail execution is starting to move onchain.
Everything @mert could ask for.
