May had no shortage of milestones: p-token landed on mainnet, perps reached an all-time high, 19k builders showed up to hack on @colosseum, and @anza_xyz launched the Alpenglow community cluster.

@solana in May 👇
This is our wheelhouse, engine-level Solana perps security, where it's almost always the money-math invariants that break, not the perimeter.
Two things that might help the rebuild: a free in-editor Solana security standard, and deep adversarial audits. Happy to put eyes on Drift before relaunch. 🫡
Drift’s next chapter starts with getting the foundation right.
Today’s protocol update outlines the progress we’ve made toward relaunch, including key additions to the team with @redacted_noah joining as Head of Protocol and former @gauntlet_xyz contributors bringing additional risk expertise to the platform.
Recovery has been the priority since day one, and relaunching Drift as the largest USDT-based perps exchange on Solana, built around security, resilience, and performance at scale is a critical milestone in creating the long-term engine that will drive it forward.
i have been experimenting with something i designed: making permissionless perps actually work for long-tail assets, without market makers or deep liquidity.
here's the idea
people are beginning to lose the plot, I'm not an animator pleaseee. I'm a solana dev and an engineer.
I only make anime for sakura😭
i'm getting job requests lmao
If AI could disrupt half the workforce, we can’t wait until people lose their jobs to act.
The companies profiting from AI should help cushion the disruption. That starts with taxing the data centers powering it.
Colosseum runs 100+ founder interviews every hackathon - ¨Now they're livestreaming them¨
That's a lot of access for builders, and access is the whole point.
Abundance over annoyance: every new batch is another founder getting their shot, in public.
