@randgroup This reminds me of one of my favorite books, Where Good Ideas Come From by Steven Johnson and its idea of the “adjacent possible.”
Some innovations don’t create just one new thing. They expand what becomes possible next. Cheap launch costs are one of those moments.
some cool things on Solana:
- decentralized p2p mapping networks
- decentralized mobile networks
- decentralized CDNs
- decentralized GPU rendering and LLM inference
- decentralized satellite positioning systems
- decentralized robotics
- onchain orderbooks
- natively confidential payments
- futarchy based governance
- composable and atomic defi
- 400ms global payments
- tokenized gold, agriculture, wine, whiskey, real estate
- onchain comics and art
- native delegated staking
- chain that scales to thousands of TPS w median 0.001$ fees
interestingly this does not interest the loudest people on twitter as much as coins, but they do exist

1/ On So Few NFTs, So Many NFTs
Are NFTs the scarcest assets in the crypto universe?
Are NFTs an endless no-barriers-to-entry stream of good, mid and worthless tokens?
Buckle up. This is a long one. 60+
Scammers really thought they could rug for 50k and walk away. Meanwhile, the community turned Calum into something they’ll regret underestimating forever.
Calum was a scam.
That’s what 99% of you are thinking of.
This might be the best story coin the trenches have ever seen.

Interested in ZK on Solana / Compressed Accounts / On Chain Games / Network States / Solana Research? Keep reading
I'm a big fan of Dark Forest, an old ZK and PoW game on EVM. I've wanted to build something similar on Solana for a long time, but the technologies needed to make it possible have only come online this year.
Now that these technologies are possible, we can put them to rigorous testing and create complex code examples that help people understand and learn how to use them in a fun way.
To that end I'm working with @japarjam to organize a set of cohorts that'll work on this project. The goal isn't just to build a game, but a tech showcase and heavy research into tooling around these technologies.
I'll be pitching the project in the 76devs discord (https://t.co/MN8X3KwSHu) this Thursday (Dec 5) at 1 pm EST, followed with a small DF tourney to show that game off as well.
