Started Web3 seriously this year. Hereβs the journey so far
β Won $76,000+ in grants & hackathons
β Built & shipped Solana trading and MEV infrastructure
(launchpad, SDKs, bots, indexers)
β Open sourced multiple MEV tools & trackers
β Earned 200+ GitHub stars across OSS projects
β Did freelance trading/MEV bot work for real users
β Lost a lot of money trading perps learned risk the hard way
β Turned those lessons into better infra & risk aware systems
β Landed a Web3 infra role, building core execution and data infrastructure
Solana didnβt just give me wins it gave me hard lessons, leverage, and belief.
No IIT. No MIT.
No fancy resume.
Just consistent shipping, OSS, and building in public.
Thank you @solana for an unreal 2025.
2026 will be even bigger.
Your turn whatβs your journey?
2025 was about turning momentum into outcomes. Hereβs the journey so far:
β Scaled one of my businesses to $1.8M
β Explored 3 continents, 8 countries, and multiple cities
β Invested deeply in tech and built real products
β Contributed to YC-backed open source projects
β Landed two jobs combined worth $100K+ USD
β Worked closely with strong growth and marketing teams in the creator economy
β Started talking to someone invaluable who now holds deep importance in my life
β Gifted a house to my parents
β Applied to YC
β Started gaming again
No IIT. No MIT. No fancy job.
Just relentless execution and consistent output.
2026 is about scale.
What's your story?

raydium-idl's LaunchLab IDL fixes quote_token_program to SPL Token, but live swaps pass Token-2022. It also lacks 7 instructions that the deployed program has, such as update_platform_curve_rule.
The on-chain IDL has neither problem.

No decode error. Still the wrong layout.
I built idl-drift to flag breaking Solana IDL changes. Its companion, idl-verify, checks IDLs against real data.
This run caught seven unread bytes in each of five saved Voltr accounts.

Found a @solana arbitrage bot making ~$52k/day over 34 days :)
β Live since Sep 4, running its own on chain program
β ~23k txs/day; ~60% revert as it rejects unprofitable trades
β 15,616 SOL (~$1.76M) swept to its payout wallet in 34 days
Axiom shows $11M profit in 30 days
I traced the on chain money flow: closer to ~$1.6M over that same period
Itβs time.

Perfect speed of light around the earth is 134ms.
In fiber optics, light moves at roughly 2/3 of c (refractive index of 1.47), increasing a full circuit of the globe to 200ms.
We're running out of latency to reduce.
IBRL.
Solana forever.
Alpenglow is live on devnet ποΈ
A slot can now have two banks index by slot and mix them freely.
Shipstern PR #345 keeps only the confirmed one. β 369/369 devnet slots correct β both banks tested on replayed mainnet slots
