My First @solana Interview — and a Lesson I’ll Never Forget
Lately i applied to a Solana company after seeing an opening for a DeFi Developer role. this was actually my first time ever applying and getting interviewed by a Solana company.
Before applying, i had already built a few smart contracts — AMMs, DAMMs, vaults, escrows, etc. so i was feeling pretty confident going in.
But during the interview, i realized i had missed one very important thing — Rust.
yeah, i had done Rust before — up till smart pointers , but they started asking me questions about asynchronous Rust, multithreaded servers, and concurrency… and i completely fumbled.
i won’t lie, it stung a bit. i was disheartened. i felt like all the work i’d done wasn’t enough.
but later i realized — this is just part of the process.
Every rejection, every hard interview, every unexpected question — it’s all shaping me into a better developer.
my biggest takeaway from this?
"Anchor is easy. Rust is hard. My first Solana interview taught me that the hard way."
So yeah, i’ll be doing more and more Rust — until I can handle anything thrown at me.

Intresting take on prediction markets , the act of participating often changes the behaviour of everyone else .
Pretty intresting read

We just pitched @cypherzk_ at @rektoff_xyz shared what we’re building around private prediction markets, encrypted bets, accuracy markets, and why prediction markets should reward insight instead of visibility.

Just wrote my first @Arcium contract. Built an encrypted calculator after struggling for weeks because of some setup issues.

we’re cooking something big & applying for @Arcium RTG launch coming sooner than you think.
Don’t get left behind hop on the waitlist here:

just submitted rpc-stats to @colosseum Frontier.
the idea is simple: every RPC provider claims they're the best at landing transactions. none of them can prove it.
so we built a system that tests helius, triton, and alchemy every 30 seconds. on-chain verified via geyser. live public leaderboard.
no marketing. just data.
built with @Subhdotsol 🤝

Spent the day diving into MPCs and trying to understand how Arcium works under the hood for a personal project. I followed the hello world example but couldn’t get it running or test it yet. Not sure what I’m missing could someone from @Arcium help?
