What's the fastest way to know when an asset hits a target price? π€
It's not a price API.
It's not watching the entire market.
Quicknode's own amazing @mikechabanqn has the answer. π€
1/ Announcing the winners of the Solana Frontier
Hackathon!ποΈ
Read about the winners & honorable mentions: https://t.co/9HXbhNtkU2
The subset of winning teams accepted into our VC fund's next accelerator cohort will be shared in the coming days.
Congrats to all! π
mtndao X is a culmination:
5 years.
Thousands of entrepreneurs.
Globally explosive startups birthed from within the MTN walls again, and again, and again.
24/7. 31 days straight.
We promise, it's like nothing else you've ever experienced.

I feel this needs a follow-up because the take away shouldn't be "bad engineers! Previous leads sucked!" Previous engineering leadership at Drift is also not the fall guy.
The technical leaders were competent. They wouldn't have gotten to $1b TVL without impressive levels of shipping. If the protocol was an absolute turd, I wouldn't be grinding to save it; I'd just rewrite the whole thing. The protocol itself was not exploited; the multisig was. The protocol has some great design decisions, risk management, and architecture that indicates this wasn't just amateur hour.
I have not fully uncovered why the multisig was the way it was, but it likely has a lot to do with dao/labs separation, pressure to ship more features, and pressure to ship new markets quickly. Hell, the config authority on the multisig was the DAO, so the only one that could have upped the signer threshold or added a timelock would be a full token vote.
It's far too simplistic to say "the engs were bad," fog of war is deep. The point is not "if your engineering leaders miss something, they're the fall guy" It's "every engineer ever is going to miss things or have things happen outside their control, so hire external firms to watch your back."
This isn't just a matter of respect to the past engineers (though I do respect them), it's also deeply personal. I am not signing on to be the sole wall between the exchange and disaster. I am not signing on to be the next fall guy. I am trying to impart that whether you're technical or non-technical, you should want to have layers of checks and balances so that nothing falls through the cracks.
Quicknode joins the Solana Research Institute.
@Quicknode has provided core blockchain infrastructure since 2017 and is one of the most widely used infrastructure platforms on Solana, processing over 200 billion API requests a month.
It holds the most complete enterprise compliance posture of any major multi-chain provider: SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001. Quicknode also powers the data layer behind the Solana Developer Platform, used by Mastercard, Worldpay, and Western Union.
Their joining brings enterprise-grade infrastructure and compliance expertise into the SRI's research community.
DAS now makes onchain agents easier to discover, verify, and trace.
With support from our RPC partners @triton_one@Helius@QuickNode and @Alchemy, you can now identify registered agents, find their primary tokens, and reverse lookup by primary token or signer PDA.

Excited to kick off Q2 Demo Day today π₯
> Weeks of grind.
> Capstone-driven vetting.
> Office hours, workshops, and more.
Every quarter raises the bar higher than the last.
This one is no exception.
SHOWTIME
Polling the chain in 2026 feels like hitting refresh on your inbox every few seconds, just in case something new came in.
Hit endpoint. Wait. Hit it again. Handle the rate limits. Dedupe. Hope you didn't miss a block.
We got tired of that, so we built the opposite: real-time data, pushed to your stack the second it happens, on every major chain.
.@multisig built @altitude: banking for companies in 150+ countries. ACH, wire, SWIFT, bill pay, invoicing, 24/7 FX. Looks and feels like a bank account, but it's built on Solana, not a bank.
@GarrettHarper_ on the L1 call: performance, dev tooling, proven in production.
@italoacasas Mithril, an independent client implementation of the solana protocol compatible with Alpenglow, has been enhanced with block production capabilities
Narrative violation...
Tokenized assets just flipped memes in Solana spot volume.
On June 23, tokenized assets were 17% of @solana spot volume vs. memes at 12%
Want attach a human-readable note, an invoice ID, or an order reference to your Solana transactions?
Here's how to use Solana Kit with the new, faster P-Memo!
