For half a decade, solana/web3.js has been how developers, apps and users interact with Solana.
Today, we're giving it the upgrade it always deserved: Web3.js 3.0.
A package with the API you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on Kit.
2026 is turning into a DevEx year for Solana 🌊
Another major win for the ecosystem just landed with Web3.js 3.0 RC, the familiar interface rebuilt on Kit.
Great work, @blueshift!
This is the convergence point for Solana's TypeScript ecosystem: Kit as the foundation, Web3.js as the front door.
Thanks to @dhkleung and @a_milz for the hard work! If you want to read more about it: blueshift.gg/research/sunris…
24hr ago we solved Javascript development on @solana, and everyone was excited AF.
This colossal achievement is @dhkleung incredible work (alongside @a_milz on the reviewing side).
So if you are still not following these 2 chads, NGMI

That means smaller bundles, a leaner dependency tree, better performance, and a library caught back up to the protocol.
Everything without a community-wide rewrite and a simple version bump.

With upstream libcalls you can now just do `a == b` and still get performant code just like how normal people normally write normal rust in the normal universe...
Now live on Quasar! ⏩
Literally spat my coffee when I saw this, what have y’all been through?

```
core::ptr::read_unaligned(a) == core::ptr::read_unaligned(b)
&& core::ptr::read_unaligned(a.add(1)) == core::ptr::read_unaligned(b.add(1))
&& core::ptr::read_unaligned(a.add(2)) == core::ptr::read_unaligned(b.add(2))
&& core::ptr::read_unaligned(a.add(3)) == core::ptr::read_unaligned(b.add(3))
```

we make a bunch of insane tooling, compiler, vm, protocol, cryptography and program optimisations, improve them with community feedback and open source them all for free with lessons and tutorials so devs and their clankers can make solana faster, faster.

Disclaimer for the middle-curved managers, this is a shitpost of course i know how they make the world a better place, my life has improved so much since @blueshift inception, i cannot emphasis this enough.
Wish we could send much more...
Maybe we should create a better way to support OS developer so we can help the best OS community continue to thrive in the future 👀
Soon ⏩
Huge thanks to @SolanaFndn for giving me $2k for LiteSVM maintenance and Anchor contributions.
Unfortunately they won’t be supporting it anymore this year.
Dropping my wallet here in case the @solana ecosystem wants to help keep the open-source work going 👇
