crypto is dominated by speculators and younger traders who have virtually no time horizon or attention span
as crypto takes over, same thing is happening to all markets
in such a world, there's great edge in simply having a boomer time horizon
all my big wins have been buying distressed assets, working to improve them, and thinking in terms of years vs. weeks

colossal upgrade for solana, easily one of the biggest of the year
tl;dr we are adding token account histories to transaction histories
you do not need to query hundreds of token accounts anymore
one endpoint -> the entire solana history for an address
this is slightly technical (but important for everyone to understand, not just devs), so let me elaborate:
- on solana, you have a main wallet public key like any other chain. this is the address you use for sending/receiving anything on solana. you can also use a .sns domain for it for example
- however, when you actually receive a token, like USDC, what happens is that your main wallet opens itself what's called a "token account"
- for example your main wallet has a token account for USDC, a token account for USDT, a token account for BONK, etc
- think of it like a bank account. you have a main login for the bank, but you also have different currency accounts for USD, EUR, CAD, or whatever
- ok now BIG PROBLEM. on Solana, someone might send you USDC but only link your USDC account and not your main wallet in the transaction itself!
- so when you go to call an RPC on your main account or just view it on a basic explorer or wallet, you WILL NOT SEE this transfer because it did not reference your main wallet
- to get around this, any serious wallet will also check your token accounts separately and then merge the results together
- however, this is super annoying because you might have like 5,000 token accounts and also extremely unintuitive for new builders
- to fix this, we have indexed all of Solana's historical data and combined it for you
- from now on, all you have to do is add a basic query param to getTransactionsForAddress and your entire unified history, with all token account histories, will be included
- this should reduce tons of code, speed up all apps, and make searching/sorting server side 100x easier
enjoy
