haters will say we aren't creating new blocks and validating transactions on the Solana blockchain while earning rewards for our participation in the consensus process, which helps to secure the network and maintain its integrity 💯🔥🔥

im a big fan of the recent moves by @solanafndn

XDP will be default enabled on Agave starting with v4.2 (early August on mainnet). try it out NOW so we can fix any unique driver/NIC combo issues you might have

Tomorrow you'll be able to buy, sell, long, or short the biggest IPO of all time directly on @solana across multiple tokenized equities issuers and perps venues. My guess is we are heading into the biggest onchain capital markets event of all time. You can find every verified variant and venue for SpaceX on @tokens starting tomorrow AM.

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.

Big Solana news: The Light Protocol team is joining Helius to help build Solana's most complete ZK privacy layer. Private payments, markets, and finance -- at Solana scale. Fully composable, fully onchain, fully open-source.

i didn't realize how dominant solana mainnet is for trading SOL-USD now. wow! Harbinger of things to come

Subscriptions & Allowances are now native to Solana. Recurring billing and delegated spending, live on mainnet as one shared program any team can build on.

What is OpenPerps? A permissionless perpetual futures DEX on @solana, built on top of Percolator, @toly's open-source risk engine. Percolator does the risk math, formally verified and untouched. OpenPerps is the venue wrapped around it. One wallet → one USDC balance → many isolated markets. Permissionless: anyone can list a market, anyone can liquidate a bad account. No central team, no approval, no listing form. Marks need fresh prices. Today a single keeper bot posts them every minute from Pyth. On mainnet that moves to an on-chain oracle, so no off-chain bot has to be trusted. 20 instructions, 343 Kani proofs, 53 wrapper tests. no_std, zero-copy.

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.

This is false and needs a community note. Falcon signature verification takes about the same time as the Ed25519 signatures used throughout the protocol today. We tested it, you can see in the table below. The main difference is in signature size. The opposite of Nic’s the claim is true. Because Solana has relentlessly optimized the code, we can push more bits over the wire and through the pipes inside the validator meaning that a 10x increase in signature size makes almost no difference to Solana. The average Solana transaction today is around 700 bytes so increasing the signature size to 666 bytes or 1320 with the pub key in recovery mode would be a factor of 2-3x theoretical max throughput but theoretical max throughput is upwards of 1 million TPS and we are doing 4k tps today if you count votes. Bandwidth increases by a factor of 2 every 18-24 months according to Nielsen’s law. Some Solana validators already run with 100gb NICs.

just ran some numbers realized slippage across all Titan DART SOL/USDC swaps is at 0.0768 bps, with a median of 0.0462 bps we are now in MICRO-bip territory on @solana
