Excited to announce our partnership with @GeniusTerminal backed by @yzilabs
Let your trades take the faster lane.
Powered by Astralane’s iris, enjoy lightning-fast execution on your low slip trades, with better fill quality and better protection against sandwhichers.
Where speed meets intelligence🧠
what does building high-speed trading infrastructure on @solana look like?
we are back with another episode of the superteam india podcast, featuring @kirat_tw and @sujithsizon, co-founder of @Astralaneio, building high-speed transaction infrastructure for solana that processes 2-3 million trades per day.
we dive into what it actually takes to build infra that matches solana's speed, why traditional RPCs aren't enough, how MEV searchers can see and front-run your transactions even through private RPCs, and the networking engineering (packet routing, fiber routes, jitter analysis) that makes the difference.
a LOT of alpha in this one. enjoy!

@DistributedMarz@weboftrees@potuz_eth why dont u just do it reverse - vis a viz let the searchers submit onchain favorable state attestations and aggregators on chain pick the most favorable state - searching and pathfinding engines stays as is - just some added cost here
Our TPUs are headed to space!
Inspired by our history of moonshots, from quantum computing to autonomous driving, Project Suncatcher is exploring how we could one day build scalable ML compute systems in space, harnessing more of the sun’s power (which emits more power than 100 trillion times humanity’s total electricity production).
Like any moonshot, it’s going to require us to solve a lot of complex engineering challenges. Early research shows our Trillium-generation TPUs (our tensor processing units, purpose-built for AI) survived without damage when tested in a particle accelerator to simulate low-earth orbit levels of radiation. However, significant challenges still remain like thermal management and on-orbit system reliability.
More testing and breakthroughs will be needed as we count down to launch two prototype satellites with @planet by early 2027, our next milestone of many. Excited for us to be a part of all the innovation happening in (this) space!
prediction markets on solana are now trading 1.8x the volume of memecoins⚡️
but what’s actually happening under the hood?
how do they work, and how do traders capture edge?
