MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT 🎶 come on down, to epochtown 🎶 Announcing epochtown (pronounced ee-pak not ep-uck) a community for Solana builders, devs, artists, entrepreneurs and anyone else interested in building the future on Solana As someone new to Solana it is sometimes hard to find like minded people to learn from, collaborate with and build with. Epochtown aims to change that, all newbies are welcome and no questions are too dumb to ask If you’re just getting started, trying to find your way around, or want to find someone to collaborate with on the next hackathon, or maybe you’re building and have questions come on down! Discord link in next tweet below Huge huge huge thanks to @adlonymous for the discord magic, @jacobvcreech @nickfrosty for the motivation, @dhruvsol for the cute designs and @beeman_nl @metasal @0xnaga @SolDapper for being the OG fire starters :)

Less than an hour after the SpaceX IPO, Phoenix Perps have over $500k of liquidity within $1. Solana perps have arrived

Bout fuckin time

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…

Updated for mainnet validators not reporting metrics or not turning on xdp h/t: @TimGarcia0 xdphallofshame.vercel.app/

watch out spotify

found a new crate: xe you just create a .txt file with song names in it and it magically plays them. xe play.txt

Well claude never lies

A quantum secure secret store

awesome. next step: play poker on-chain with the wsop deployed program.

hyperliquids "fast" is now a feature. just trade on solana. fast is default.

incredible commitment, crazy work. huge for solana.

new pumpfun/pumpswap footgun: add any pubkey(eg big trader) as a remaining account and the tx can appear in that addresss history (getSignatureForAddress) gRPC account_include streams, even if untouched. solana tx history tracks mentioned account keys, not state changes. why it matters: if your bot/explorer/indexer treats "tx mentions this wallet" as "this wallet interacted with the token", it can be spoofed. verify signer/user token balance deltas, not just account inclusion.

nobody can tell you when it is unfucked. that is crypto.

Most Solana teams optimize RPC. We decided to remove it. At @brewlabshq_ , our latency requirements pushed us beyond Yellowstone and toward consuming validator data directly from the source. Today we're open-sourcing part of that work: Qlaster — Shared-Memory Data Streaming for Colocated Solana Services.🧵

open sourced a draft we were exploring: onchain trading agents for solana. the idea: users define private execution filters, such as oracle-price conditions for perps. a registered cranker can execute the trade instruction only when the agent is active, oracle data is fresh, the proof matches the committed filters and all protocol accounts validate. current draft: authorized crankers. possible next step: public filters/indicators/cranking, where users set a fee and anyone can execute through gated conditions.

can your @solanamobile do this?

my sisters and brothers of christ. why are we going backwards in testnet xdp adoption? look at this chart. down is good. down is fast. down means more CUs. down means we're goated. down means we're rad as hell. just turn it on and we win forever.

Wow. From 113gb down to 80gb Amazing tek

what day is it? me: epoch 976, slot 422032676 i no longer experience linear time
