⚠️ Attention @solana stakers!
The minimum stake delegation has increased to 1 solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 due to the Solana network-level change (SIMD-0490), live as of June 18th 2026.
Note: this applies to NEW stake accounts only. Existing delegations are not affected, no action needed.
As the network moves toward reduced rent, the cost of opening a stake account would otherwise fall to near-zero, opening up a potential spam attack vector. A 1 SOL floor might close it while preserving the integrity of delegations.

UPDATE
CARDANO RANKS TOP 10 IN BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT😱😱😱
@Everstake_pool says Cardano recorded 774 code commits over the last 30 days, ranking 7th among all Layer-1 blockchains and accounting for 3.7% of total development activity.
NEW: Everstake, the largest non-custodial staking infrastructure provider, says "over the last 30d, #Cardano recorded 774 code commits, ranking 7th among all Layer-1 blockchains, accounting for 3.7% of total development activity. $ADA remains one of the most actively developed."
Cardano never stopped building!
The network continues to focus on what matters most: development.
Over the last 30 days, @Cardano recorded 774 code commits, ranking 7th among all L1 blockchains and accounting for 3.7% of total development activity.
Every commit represents developers improving infrastructure, shipping upgrades, fixing issues, and laying the groundwork for future growth.
Of course, commits alone don't guarantee price appreciation. But strong and sustained development activity increases the probability that the network continues to evolve, attract builders, and strengthen its long-term fundamentals.
From our perspective, this is exactly the kind of data that long-term partners pay attention to. While short-term price movements can be unpredictable, networks that continue building during difficult market conditions often put themselves in a stronger position for future growth.
Cardano may not always be the loudest ecosystem in crypto, but it remains one of the most actively developed!
Thanks for the chart, @tokenterminal❤️
❗@monad is heating up!
Last week, the network recorded 21.0M transactions, making it the third most active week in Monad's history.
As you see transaction activity has been trending higher over recent weeks, with some of the strongest results the network has ever seen occurring during this latest stretch.
For an ecosystem still in its early stages, that kind of consistency matters. Growing transaction counts are often one of the first signs that more users, applications, and on-chain activity are beginning to concentrate around a network.
Monad is clearly moving in the right direction.
"@ethereum is losing users."
It's a narrative that refuses to disappear.
But, Ethereum has the highest user retention rate among major blockchains, with 26.2% of users returning a year later.
And that's what makes this metric so powerful.
Anyone can attract attention during a bull market. Anyone can benefit from a trend. But convincing users to come back months later is a completely different challenge.
Because retention isn't built on hype. It's built on products people use, developers who keep shipping, liquidity that keeps growing, and an ecosystem that continues to evolve through every market cycle.
Over the years, Ethereum has faced competition from every direction. New chains arrived promising to replace it, outperform it, or move faster than it.
Yet when it comes to keeping users engaged over the long term, Ethereum still stands at the top.
In crypto, it's easy to attract attention.
Earning long-term loyalty is much more difficult. Ethereum continues to do both.
6/6 Note: While some may consider delaying block proposals unethical, we believe that this question requires more research and live data to draw a line between delivering better APR for stakers and slowing down the network.
Check out how we approach MEV optimization👇 https://t.co/FLMLX4WZ6x
1/3 We've hit a new MEV optimization milestone on @ethereum!
In May 2026, Everstake validators captured ~20.2% more MEV per block than the network average, reaching a whopping +70% on peak days.
MEV efficiency (total MEV rewards ÷ blocks proposed):
• Everstake: 0.02745 ETH/block
• Network avg: 0.02284 ETH/block

1/6 We’ve been running a block proposal latency study on @ethereum for some time now.
The protocol default for MEV-Boost is 950 ms. We tested the range of 6 settings from 950 ms to 3,000 ms 👇
