Back from @SolanaConf Breakpoint 2026 still processing how much happened in 3 days.

First: Abu Dhabi surprised me.
I have to come back and actually enjoy it (especially the desert). This trip was kind of a sprint.

On the community side, @MonkeDAO events were easily top tier.
The merch bag alone..customization and attention to detail was unreal. It didn't feel sponsored, it felt crafted. Love you @bibseebliss

Also, I found my inner monke. I didn't adopt 1 but 2 (Gen2) Monkes so I can participate in governance.

Side events: fewer than I expected but the tradeoff was quality. Had to choose between really good options.

The meta shift is getting hard to ignore.
Institutions are clearly owning more of the space now and it feels like we're shifting toward a more builder-oriented cycle.
memecoins meta dead?! Prediction market IS the new king in town.

Venue-wise: Ethiad Arena setup was the best yet.
Inside, outside, on several levels: people were natturally drawn to dedicated area. Dev cave lured in top devs yet some missed it.
I did feel like there were fewer booths overall, and many were small. Even the big players didn't feel that big.
Huge shoutout to Bonk, Aurory and Sanctum for owning the space. And the @solflare team absolutely killed it all day, all night (closing party included).

The stage..quite literally an Absolute Cinema.
The rapid-fire cadence left me hungry. A lot of talks stayed surface-level, yet there were so many announcements I could barely keep up.
Honestly the 3-day conference felt too short.

Grateful.
For the builders, the teams, the organizers, the communities that keep this ecosystem alive and for every quick conversation that turns into a new idea.

I'm leaving Breakpoint pumped with more conviction, more questions and a deeper appreciation for how fast Solana is evolving.

See you in the dms!

AI agents on @solana move real money with zero accountability.

MIP-051 adds bonding, slashing, and config verification to @metaplex Core Assets.

DAO vote is live. $MPLX holders, go vote.

dear dev friends and vibe coders,

if you are using AI to build anything in crypto, what's your setup?

what sucks or is too slow?

Happy New Year!

Last year was largely an experiment. We pushed boundaries to see what happens when you try to build a new world on top of the old one. The hardest lesson we learned is that trust is a vulnerability.

We saw support evaporate from those we trusted most, and watched shared visions dissolve as soon as incentives drifted.

But amidst that noise, one signal remained clear: You. To the community that held the line through the silence and the struggle, thank you. Your conviction is the bedrock of this ecosystem.

Those moments didn't break us, they forged us. They proved exactly why we are here. Every human failure is a mandate for sovereign code, and every betrayal is fuel for the trustless engine we are building.

The experiment is over. The hypothesis is confirmed. Now, we scale.

We aren't just building agents anymore. We are building the architects of a new economy.

We are proud to support @metaplex in this mission, and to be supported by them in return. By giving agents the keys to the Internet Capital Markets, we are opening the door to true autonomy.

Your agents won't need permission to launch, approval to trade, or a committee to validate their existence. They will only need you.

The Agentic Economy isn't a prediction; it is the destination. We are building the Mainframe to be sovereign, permissionless, and yours.

The rails are being laid and the engines are warming up. The world is waiting to be rewritten.

Let's build.

MonkeDAO Aftermovie really captures how it feels to be a Monke and the work it takes to keep it going.

Amazing team for an amazing community!

We got together today to close the year the simple way, good food, good laughs, and great people.
Every Monke who couldn’t make it to Breakpoint went home with a little merch bag🎁

Grateful for this community !
