Triton One leading the charge on the development of @solana read layer. Building this open source means that everyone can keep interacting with Solana on their own accord or through other providers as well. Open source, like almost everything out of Tritons hands.
Solana's read layer 2.0 is now open source: Superbank (history) and Cloudbreak (accounts), marking the end of vendor lock-in for chain access. Querying @solana should feel like calling a real database, so we built exactly that. 🟣Lightning-fast account reads with dynamic indexes from your query patterns 🟣Your own queryable copy of Solana history, with no indexing logic to write 🟣More performant than Agave, while running on commodity hardware Fork it, run it, improve it. It's yours 🌊🧵x.com/solana_devs/status/206…

I'm super excited that the RPC Working Group has taken flight! The @solana read layer is finally IBRL-ing. We're expecting more open-source contributions from @JupiterExchange & @espicodes soon. Remember, kids -- it's open source, or it didn't happen!

SpaceX spot on Solana has $9m in volume. $10k trades have 5-10bps of slippage, a fraction of CEX fees. 1-5k trades effectively free For the 1st time in history, anyone globally can get access to the hottest IPO ever. Internet Capital Markets are real and they're beautiful

Are crypto people at least a little embarrassed to still be on this centralized extractive platform?

SpaceX IPO tomorrow is expected to be the biggest onchain capital markets event. Teams like @sunrisedefi, @Backpack, @OndoFinance, @xStocksFi, @JupiterExchange and dozens of other venues are working tirelessly to get you day 0 access. The best place to trade the @SpaceX IPO and 24/7 into the weekend is on Solana. Round of applause for everyone who makes this a reality a reality behind the scenes. Solana ecosystem is the best fr fr

The WSOP picked Solana. The whole space wins today. Onchain poker is the future, and Fast Poker is already living it. What game are you grinding?

There has been a lot of discussion around on chain routing recently. If you’re interested in understanding the topic from a more technical perspective, without the marketing narrative, then this piece is worth reading.
Off-chain routing has a ceiling. No matter how fast the algo or how fresh the quote, pool states shift between route computation and transaction landing. The route plan you were quoted becomes stale by the time it executes. JIT Swap lets our program re-decide on-chain, at execution. @gn_dnomsed breaks it all down: developers.jup.ag/blog/jit-s…

Announcement: Earlier today myself, along with the insanely talented @milkbeard5 assisted the @zinc_cash team in tweaking the liquidity structure with their LP efforts. As Zinc is the third top daily earning protocol on Solana and is gaining a lot of traction we saw an opportunity to optimize the already amazing work being done by the Zinc team. Sometimes when something becomes too popular too fast it can have negative consequences down the road unless mitigated early. We were not compensated in any way for this consultation. @milkbeard5 is just an amazing human being who hopped in to help as a personal favor to me, and of course my motivation is to help amazing builders be better (while helping protect my own investment, naturally). I am incredibly bullish on what Zinc has built and firmly believe it’s going to be an incredible net positive not only to Solana but to the space in general. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

Makes sense when you realize inflation is a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

Day 2 of Enrichment Week is going strong. Today, builders are diving deep into perpetual exchanges on @solana Exploring how @FlashTrade leverages @magicblock's Ephemeral Rollups to move beyond traditional account and compute constraints. Architecture, oracle price feeds, state management, and the mechanics that power high-performance on-chain trading and more.... Thanks to @XohebS for bringing this to the room.
