You are bored because you are not doing side quests.
Life is not just work and lying in bed doing nothing.
Here are 50 side quests every man should complete:
๐จNEW: @gakonst from @tempo teases MPP coming soon to @solana, which will enable agents, apps, and APIs to accept payments onchain for access to services and data.
Solana. SOLANA. Listen. This is the FASTEST blockchain anywhere on the planet. The absolute fastest. Nobody comes close. Nobody. Transactions? Lightning. Tremendous speed. They fly. Ethereum? Very slow. Painfully slow. Cardano? Even slower. Total disaster. Solana handles securities trading like nothing else. Perfect volume. Perfect cost. Perfect everything. Believe me.
The slow chains want to drag us down. They want to stop the winning. But we do not allow that. We are building the Crypto Capital of the World right here in the United States. Solana leads the charge. It is the next giant step after the GENIUS ACT and the CLARITY ACT. Huge industry. Powerful industry. If we let the losers hold it back China takes it. We do not let China take it. We keep it. We win with it. Solana is WINNING BIGLY. The American people get the best. Solana IS the best. Nobody does blockchain better than Solana. Nobody. Thank you!
Just met a cute girl at the wedding i'm at.
like actually cute. genuinely attractive human being.
we're talking. vibes are good. she's laughing at my jokes.
i'm being charming.
then crypto gets brought up, she says it
"i use solana"
my ears PERKED up
i played it cool. i said "oh nice, what protocols are you on"
she said "i have some SOL on Kraken"
and that's where a normal person would have said "wow that's really cool" and gotten her number
but i am not a normal person
my brain immediately went into autopilot and i said "on Kraken? do you at least self-custody?"
she looked confused
i kept going
"do you have a wallet? do you stake? what's your DeFi allocation. are you actually onchain or are you just sitting on a CEX watching candles"
she said "i bought SOL and i check the price sometimes"
and i said "so you don't actually use solana"
the vibe was GONE
her friend pulled her away. she didn't look back.
i was standing there alone at a wedding holding a drink i wasn't even sipping doing MENTAL MATH on whether someone who's never left a CEX can even call themselves a solana user
my friend walked over and said "bro she was into you what happened"
i said "she holds SOL on a CEX"
he said "so?"
SO???
i would rather DIE alone than let a CEX-only price-checker who's never opened Phantom think we're in the same ecosystem
she had a pretty face but a DISGUSTING onchain history because there IS no onchain history and i simply cannot overlook that
could've had her number
but she knows i'm running DeFi positions across Drift and Kamino at 3am while she's asleep
and honestly that's worth more

Crypto elites and the trenches left these for dead. But the best time to build is when everyone else has left.
Graveyard Hack starts today. Resurrect "dead" categories and win prizes across 10 tracks ๐
If you thought our work on Rust and sBPF assembly made @solana fast, here's how we're making it even faster:
Today, we present two new research articles detailing two novel optimization techniques to unlock huge performance gains in the SVM: Libcalls and JIT intrinsics. โฌ๏ธ
The "Jito Comes Home" party in DC was a massive success!
Huge thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate!
2026 is shaping up to be the year of Jito.
You heard it here first.
Imagine a world where you can actually see whatโs happening inside a Solana block.
Up until now this has largely remained a mystery, but that changes today!

Now is the time to lock in.
Post FTX the Jito team had to make the tough decision, move on from Solana or double down.
We decided to double down and were able to build some of the most important infrastructure in the space responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars of value capture for Solana validators and stakers.
This time is no different. Weโre doubling down while the market is down by creating a system that will outlast all of us and reinforce Solanaโs position as the top place to trade in the world.
BAM creates a market structure that is consistent across slots, this enables market makers to quote tighter, users to get prices and validators to earn more in the long run.
Long live Zecash
i am entering my mert arc for BAM and Jito bull posts. i will be ignoring all other work until BAM has majority stake. Thank you for your understanding
