you should use zkcompression: reduces rent to a fraction

Solana is a massive experiment in human coordination and engineering willpower. It’s the only place where you see people trying to break the laws of physics just to shave 100ms off a transaction. Here is why the builders and founders in this ecosystem are in a league of their own: • They chose Rust when everyone else was playing it safe with Solidity. • They focused on hardware utilization while the rest of the industry was focused on "modular" complexity. • They stayed through the 2022 fire and came out with Firedancer and ZK Compression. • They prioritize the mobile experience because they know that's where the next billion users actually live. •They built a culture where "shipping" is the only metric that matters. Solana is the home of the relentless. Keep pushing the limits of what’s possible #OnlyPossibleOnSolana #OPOS #ZKCompression #KeepShipping #Superteam #SolanaSummer

Building SafeSol - Privacy Payment Protocol on Solana , for @solana #privacyhacks. Repo : github.com/mesayanroy/safeso… 1/ Blockchains are transparent by design and carry heavy CU storage renting state per transaction block. Every payment publicly reveals who paid whom, how much, and when. That’s great for protocol trust — but terrible for personal and business privacy. Salaries, vendor payments, DAO payouts, remittances — all become permanently visible. This is the problem SafeSol solves. 👇 #ZeroKnowledgeProof #Solana #privacyhack #zkcompression @solana @solana_devs

proud of the engineering work behind the new rent free token program it’s like SPL token, but you don’t have to pay rent exemption to allocate accounts. the token program pays it for you! how? the token program separates hot and cold paths under the hood Say you have a market USDC-BONK the market is being traded, it’s a highly CU optimized onchain account. Just like SPL and p-token. That’s the hot path. when the market is inactive, it slowly gets colder, and eventually gets compressed. the state is preserved rent-free using zkcompression. that’s the cold path. all this is done under the hood! programs interact with hot path only. if a txn uses a cold account, it gets auto loaded into hot state in-flight. and importantly — the unified tokenInterface API lets traders, programs, and clients add support fast. Like adding a third token program to SPL and token22. hot/cold usage patterns are already what what happens across markets and token APIs in Solana DeFi. the Light token program now applies this to the account storage side to allow sustainable removal of the rent exemption cost. it’s the first-order correct design for a token program for DeFi and payments that both IBRL‘s **and** solves state growth for @solana. tldr: rent free defi, launchpads and AMMs are possible on Solana now!

BP Announcement: Rent on Solana will be reduced by 10x One of the few technical criticisms of Solana is that it costs too much to create new accounts for users. Between this announcement and ZKCompression, this argument is officially dead.

Big update for Solana users! solz.app now supports token compression – slashing ATA costs for multi-token senders by up to 99%! No more bloated wallets: Send thousands of tokens efficiently without the fee hit. #solana #zkcompression #memecoin

$ZKTR on discount right now, sub 100K mcap is crazy – good tech, dev locked in. @zkTerm is building one terminal for the whole ZK stack: - SNARKs, - STARKs, - zkVMs, - zkID, - zkRollups, - zkML, all through one command-line flow. Already live on Solana with zkID auth, Light Protocol zkCompression (99.9% account cost cut), encrypted wallet proper terminal UX. If they ship the full “zkTerm for everything” vision, this entry will look like a joke!

haha time flies! and yes, there’s a few teams who can do FV for circuits; for example the zkcompression circuits are all formally verified. private vault circuit can be quite simple!

Encountered an interesting case in our Trade-to-Earn reward distribution. USDC rewards sent via @LightProtocol ZK Compression remained in Compressed USDC state, users couldn't SEND/SWAP because tokens were still compressed. Built manual compress/decompress commands for SOL & SPL tokens. Users can now decompress anytime to restore full token functionality. Moving Forward: Reward distribution will auto-decompress USDC before sending to users - seamless UX! ✨ On-Chain Proof: 🔓 Decompress SOL (0.101 SOL) solscan.io/tx/g9QhQDVV8qgaEa… 🔓 Decompress USDC (25 USDC) solscan.io/tx/5aH9VcBGfUC4Q5… 15 compression ops tested across 660 on-chain txs. $ZKTR #ZKCompression #ZeroKnowledge

Terminal v1.7.1 Changelog 📝 Features: - ZK Compression token decompression: zk compression decompress token <amount> - Dynamic decimal support for all SPL tokens (6, 7, 8, 9, custom) - Starknet integration documentation added to /docs Improvements: - Backward compatible wallet matching (name or ID) - Updated all Light Protocol commands to use walletId - Enhanced help menu with ZK Compression section Bug Fixes: - Fixed wallet ID collision bug (all endpoints now use stable walletId) - Fixed hardcoded decimals breaking non-standard tokens - Fixed function signature errors across Light Protocol endpoints Full changelog: zkterm.io/terminal/changelog $ZKTR #zkTerm #Solana #zkCompression #LightProtocol

While building other zktools, we just completed our first reward distribution production test using @LightProtocol's ZK Compression on Solana! 4 wallets participated: - 2 dev wallets (tester) - 2 community / anonymous (thank you! ) All rewards compressed & distributed: solana.fm/tx/2k8sma89SXG7M3P… solana.fm/tx/2Noi8naypmWmaag… solana.fm/tx/3n4SXNkpmifiGRG… solana.fm/tx/2rSr8bXmF6Yh8Ub… for detail: zkterm.io/rewards Next official reward event starts in the next few days! #ZKCompression #Solana

We're testing out the revenue sharing rules for zkTerm right now basically trying to figure out the best way to split rewards: - creators put 25% into a pool - distributed based on how much you actually trade $ZKTR - using zkCompression so it's actually affordable to send - all privacy-preserving with Ed25519 proofs you can see the test data here: zkterm.io/rewards full breakdown: zkterm.io/docs#rewards once the system is production-ready and fully tested, we'll make an official announcement. stay tuned. #zkTerm #zk #solana

Understanding ZK Compression on Solana: The Real Meaning Behind "Fraction of the Cost" @LightProtocol 's ZK Compression enables creating Solana accounts at a "fraction of the cost." But what does that actually mean in practice? Mainnet testing reveals the answer. The Test Setup: Direct comparison between standard SOL transfers and compressed SOL transfers on Solana Mainnet. The Results: - Standard SOL Transfer: 5,000 lamports Compressed - SOL Transfer: 5,000 lamports Transaction fees are identical. But that's exactly the point. What "Fraction of the Cost" Actually Means: ZK Compression optimizes ACCOUNT CREATION, not transaction fees: - Standard token account: ~2,039,280 lamports (rent-exempt minimum) - Compressed account: Nearly FREE - Savings: 99.9% on account creation Transaction fees remain 5,000 lamports (Solana's base fee per signature). Why This Matters: The innovation isn't about making individual transactions cheaper, it's about making large-scale applications economically viable. Example: - Airdrop to 100,000 users - Standard approach: 203 SOL just for account creation - Compressed approach: Nearly FREE When to Use ZK Compression: Perfect for: - Airdrops to thousands of users - Loyalty programs (millions of accounts) - Mass distributions - Gaming inventory systems Not designed for: - Individual P2P transfers - Low-volume applications Mainnet Proof: Standard: solscan.io/tx/o7gySceNhj2vjR… Compressed: solscan.io/tx/3Hic1L9ZQNmJPX… Light Protocol's messaging has been clear from the start: "scale to millions of users." The technology delivers exactly that. Full test code: github.com/zkTerm/zk-compres… $ZKTR #zkTerm #zk #ZKCompression #solana

the most asymmetric bet in crypto right now is: ZK on Solana aka *free* markets at scale people are slowly waking up to the fact that solana is technologically best suited for ZK on the L1. you can verify SNARKs instantly on Solana and compose atomically with regular markets, thanks to various zk syscalls that were built into the runtime. solana can do all the things you need to build zk-native and private flows with decent UX. you can now also build UTXO-like state sets — which are necessary for anonymity — using rent-free accounts, which in turn are powered by ZK via zkcompression. And lastly, Solana is permissionless and decentralized, unlike many L2s. It’s very early innings, but we will soon see a Cambrian explosion of ZK underneath consumer apps at various parts of the stack. Solana is turning into one of the last remaining strongholds for worldwide free markets at scale. very slowly, then all at once—watch this niche zolana
