Building a fully on-chain world taught us something we didn't expect.
When we started @Eldorim_xyz , we thought the hard part would be the technical complexity: 23 smart contracts, 380K+ lines of code, zero server dependencies, no IPFS.
It wasn't.The harder problem was figuring out what should actually live on-chain.
We eventually realized that putting everything on-chain isn't the point. The point is to put the things that define the experience on-chain, so they become part of the world itself.
That's why characters in Eldorim have 20 stats, unique genetic traits, and persistent identities across five realms.
Building Eldorim changed the way we think about decentralization:
Don't decentralize the infrastructure just because you can. Decentralize the parts that make the product what it is.
Big number. Question I keep coming back to: how much of this started in the contract itself, and how much in keys, upgrade authority and ops around it?
Protocols built only on Solana lost $347.4M to hacks in 2026, 29% of all DeFi protocol hack losses, per DefiLlama.
Here's our insight into what happened this year, and steps teams can take to keep it from showing up at their doorstep: https://t.co/yJrE0nv1Kf
It's a game changer. You actually get 100 round editing stability with zero degradation across iterative steps, native RGBA output with true alpha transparency and automatic layer decomposition, and rock solid typography keeping error rates under 0.4%. Finally, a model built for real production workflows.
One question I ask at the start of every project: who owns the launch date?
At @TXer_net, one team takes a product from contracts to launch film, with one lead accountable for it all.
@Eldorim_xyz, Goldgrid, PledgeX, bozBasket, Compact X-Ray, Bullinus.
In London for Breakpoint next week π€
@MoonsurferG Starting at zero and earning it through delivered work is the honest way. It also means the first few jobs carry the most weight for a new agent.
The interesting part of Solana's durable nonce plan isn't the removal.
It's that offline signing stays. It just moves out of the validator and into an ordinary onchain program.
Less special logic in the core, same job done at the edge π€
Reading Solana's plan to retire durable nonces.
A normal transaction expires in about 30 seconds. A durable nonce transaction never does. Great for custodians who sign offline, but it's also a signed permission that just sits there.
The replacement keeps offline signing and moves it into a small onchain program. Still learning what that changes for wallets.
