Why should you be staking?

Token inflation is a fee on unstaked SOL, paid by users that need real-time security against double spends.

Users that are willing to stake and help guarantee that double spends do not occur are collecting the issuance.

[bunjil @bunjil]

haters will say we aren't creating new blocks and validating transactions on the Solana blockchain while earning rewards for our participation in the consensus process, which helps to secure the network and maintain its integrity 💯🔥🔥

You can now build onchain subscription & budgeting products on @solana:

- Give an AI agent budget and let it spend freely within your constraints
- Tiered subscription billing
- Recurring payroll

Feature parity with tradfi payment models is here for stablecoins.

Who will build onchain Gusto or Ramp or Stripe?

What is OpenPerps?

[OpenPerps @openperpsdotfun]

What is OpenPerps?

A permissionless perpetual futures DEX on @solana, built on top of Percolator, @toly's open-source risk engine. Percolator does the risk math, formally verified and untouched. OpenPerps is the venue wrapped around it.

One wallet → one USDC balance → many isolated markets.

Permissionless: anyone can list a market, anyone can liquidate a bad account. No central team, no approval, no listing form.

Marks need fresh prices. Today a single keeper bot posts them every minute from Pyth. On mainnet that moves to an on-chain oracle, so no off-chain bot has to be trusted.

20 instructions, 343 Kani proofs, 53 wrapper tests. no_std, zero-copy.

@therealchaseeb @thedavidgorski how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real

If you’re in AI pivot to solana/web3.js@rc

[blueshift @blueshift]

For half a decade, solana/web3.js has been how developers, apps and users interact with Solana.

Today, we're giving it the upgrade it always deserved: Web3.js 3.0.

A package with the API you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on Kit.

That’s my quantum

[Max Resnick @MaxResnick]

This is false and needs a community note. Falcon signature verification takes about the same time as the Ed25519 signatures used throughout the protocol today. We tested it, you can see in the table below. The main difference is in signature size.

The opposite of Nic’s the claim is true. Because Solana has relentlessly optimized the code, we can push more bits over the wire and through the pipes inside the validator meaning that a 10x increase in signature size makes almost no difference to Solana.

The average Solana transaction today is around 700 bytes so increasing the signature size to 666 bytes or 1320 with the pub key in recovery mode would be a factor of 2-3x theoretical max throughput but theoretical max throughput is upwards of 1 million TPS and we are doing 4k tps today if you count votes.

Bandwidth increases by a factor of 2 every 18-24 months according to Nielsen’s law. Some Solana validators already run with 100gb NICs.

Solana is for traders who want sub-bp spreads

[tim | Titan @timahhl]

just ran some numbers

realized slippage across all Titan DART SOL/USDC swaps is at 0.0768 bps, with a median of 0.0462 bps

we are now in MICRO-bip territory on @solana

[tielman @tielmane]

Solana's throughput ceiling isn't a runtime bottleneck anymore - it's a networking one.

XDP lets validators ingest shreds straight off the NIC, skipping the kernel stack entirely.

Every operator who enables it raises the ceiling for everyone.

[Jake Burden @doublespends]

@HeliusPrivacy what is even that

One month in. If you’re a Solana validator, stakepool, infra provider, ASN operator, etc. I want to hear from you. Let’s chat if we haven’t yet!

Day 1 as Staking Operations Lead @SolanaFndn.

Strategically deploying the Foundation’s stake to support validators, advocate for stakers, and strengthen the broader ecosystem.

The mandate: decentralization, network health, and censorship resistance.

Solana.

Decentralising trends of the top pools?

New dashboard shows👇
- 8 of 15 top Solana stake pools lifted their GDI by >3%
- Two by >10%
- Largest pool-level move: +18.8%

200ms is the next natural step. Once we have 200ms slots, there will be a strong forcing function for the improvement of internet capital markets, far beyond TradFi.

[Brennan Watt @bw_solana]

200ms slots are on the menu…

… Agave v4.2 is going to be the most insane client upgrade in Solana history

[blade @bl8_runner]

drew this up for @yo_itsmatt this am to illustrate to why Solana beating CEX in spot is inevitable

On Solana, traders interact DIRECTLY with the market maker

3.4 bps goes back to the user and MM, resulting in better prices for the user, and more revenue for the MM
