The Builders program @solanaturbine exceeded all my expectations. I got what I was looking for in learning and improving my tech skills. But I didn't expect to learn how to put together a pitch deck and think about the business side. At the end of the day, we gotta make money.
#DePIN on @solana is heating up- and we are here for it.
@00shoe killed it with this one- and we will keep the DePIN rolling in September with a special focused program for hardware experts who want to build more solutions like this on @solana.

RoboticPayments — DePIN Drone Delivery PoC 🚁
Buyer locks SOL in escrow → Drone arrives → RPi4 automatically signs
the Proof of Delivery TX → SOL released on-chain. Zero manual payment step.
The @solanaturbine DePIN Cohort Q4 2025 with @00shoe & @alolal0 sparked the idea —
I took it further: real Pixhawk flight controller, MAVLink telemetry,
GPS-verified on-chain payment. From concept to working hardware PoC.
This is the Indoor Test — GPS fix replaced by "Drone arrived" demo button.
Outdoor Test with real GPS fix coming next.

Since it seems like literally nobody knew that you could just send transactions directly to the TPU of the leader, I made this leader list to show you the upcoming leaders IP and TPU port.
You're welcome.

You literally can actually send transactions direct to the TPU, had no idea, infact I didn't quite believe the timing so I had GPT 5.2 and Opus 4.5 confirm it.
@jacobvcreech
RPC's are for reading, TPU is for writing. Is this a new thing, is this something that Solana has always had? Why wouldn't everyone just do this?

Capstone Demo - 8 | Q4 2025
Solana State Channel, which aims to increase performance by handling transactions off-chain and settling them all at once on-chain.
From @00shoe#Turbin3Tribe
The largest Solana Treasury company, Forward Industries, recently added @aseidman with @Hivemapper, @amirhaleem with @helium & @mikeahorton with @geodnet as advisors!
It's very evident that @solana is making DePIN a priority!

This is the latest white paper on the DePIN drone delivery system --> https://t.co/8tb6dH0etc
Two months have passed since I published the first version of the white paper. In the meantime, I have met many new people.
Many thanks to @SuperteamDE and @solanaturbine -- especially to @pattiruss_ and @zCase_ -- for introducing me to the web3 community of the @w3_hub and Berlin. And a big thank you to @japarjam for letting me be part of the DePIN-Cohort.
The next goal is the @colosseum hackathon which I’ll be joining together with @00shoe
Here’s the schedule for Toolapalooza, a festival of @solana_devs tooling, immersion, and integration.
🌊 Discover what’s coming up and join the wave..!
Always here to serve and build the best for the @solana ecosystem ⚙️💚
This is the power of YOLO, trained on a laptop for ~1 hour, with a Kaggle dataset.
Oh, and just ~100 lines of Python. I can make a startup on this and it took me literally a couple of hours.
Open source fucked me over.
A @SuperteamIN member copied my @colosseum submission line by line, won a @SuperteamEarn grant for it, and I got nothing, not even credits.
Read this thread, see how this faker got it all and what he did when I confronted him.

There's no music without artists. But in today's industry, they're locked out of the economy they create.
That ends now, with Artist Coins on @solana.
