Tonight’s family dinner turned into a crypto onboarding session. I witnessed my 17 yr old daughter help my sister-in-law create a @solflare wallet and then guided her through staking her SOL with @pumpkinspool! Pretty cool moment!
This past February, Pumpkin’s Pool teamed up with Dundee Elementary for a donation that was all about kids helping cats.
Dundee’s Student Council and Kindness Club collected boxes of supplies for Felius Cat Cafe, then brought them over in person. The students got to spend time at the cafe, meet the cats, and learn how Felius takes cats in, cares for them, and helps them find homes.
We also made our monthly donation to Felius via the Solana blockchain! It took some time to onboard them to accept payments on Solana, but it was worth the wait!
Seeing kids show up with donations for shelter cats was awesome. Being able to pair that with an on-chain donation made it even better!
SolanaFloor is back.
As of today, we are thrilled to announce that SolanaFloor has been acquired by @jito_sol and will resume operations under the Jito Foundation’s ownership while maintaining full editorial independence.
After announcing a wind-down in February 2026 following an exploit tied to our parent organization, we explored external financing and acquisition options. However, the team was unable to secure a viable path forward at the time, leaving a gap in independent coverage of onchain activity across the Solana ecosystem.
Now, we can resume operations. While SolanaFloor will operate under Jito Foundation ownership, all editorial decisions including story selection, data presentation, and coverage priorities will remain fully independent of Jito Foundation’s activities, partnerships, and interests.
The mission remains unchanged: documenting the ongoing rise of the Solana ecosystem and providing clear, unbiased research and journalism. It’s a critical time for the chain. Spot $SOL ETFs have crossed $1B in AUM. The ecosystem is gradually institutionalizing. New DeFi tools and integrations emerge every day. The need for independent Solana coverage has never been more apparent.
“When SolanaFloor went dark, the ecosystem lost something difficult to replace,” said @brian_smith_0 , President of Jito Foundation. “This acquisition is about filling the gap with a platform that operates from a position of editorial independence. Jito has a long term stake in the health of the Solana ecosystem, and that means investing in the infrastructure and public goods that keeps the community informed.”
Additional details on the relaunch -- including editorial structure, commercial offerings, and team updates -- will be shared soon.
@EricTrump I received an email from Wells Fargo warning me about crypto scams. I wish I knew who to personally respond to, to remind them of how many hacks, fees, mistakes and time that has been wasted using their banking system for the last 20 years. They are the true scammers!
After this email, I will officially be ending my run with @WellsFargo. There aren’t enough fingers and toes on my body to count how many mishaps with this bank have caused overdraft fees, accounts being compromised, hours wasted on the phone and in store for the most basic services. Not to mention their pitiful communication when they sold my home loan to some no-name entity. This scare tactic is shallow and fear mongering. The real enemies are the banks who prey on the lower/middle class with their excessive fees, the “it’s posted, but is the money there?” moments, the “wait several business days to use your own money” approach, and the feelings of being passed along from one agent to the next, to only be dismissed and left to solve the problem by being forced to visit a branch.
The future of $$ doesn’t need 3-5 days! Crypto is the real exit ramp from pending to permissionless!
