My tweets are the eclectic clippings of sacred guidance. Primordial beings of eldritch powers bestow this empyrean knowledge upon my account I am merely a vehicle of divine wisdom — a little pencil in the hand of a writing God retar dio

I sat down with @alessandrod, the man making the fastest blockchain in existence even faster From his GStreamer roots to working with XDP, he explains how four engineers are out-shipping entire organizations on the @heliuslabs blog: helius.dev/blog/solana-pe…
decentralized systems are well on the way to having the same performance as centralized systems Helius devs helping handle a big onchain event on Solana without a sweat:
Pump ICO sold out in 14 minutes. Even better, it was the 3rd largest ICO in history, and raised the majority onchain on Solana.
Solana has had better uptime than Starlink over the past year
Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved.
Steel is a lightweight, modular framework for writing native Solana programs with minimal boilerplate and maximum control. In this article @OkohEbina covers: 🏗️ What Steel is (and isn't) 🏗️ Steel macros and helpers 🏗️ How to create a token with Steel
Respectfully, who actually uses Starknet? It's bold to talk about scale when your L2 is currently doing ~2 TPS and averages ~25s block times. We'll continue scaling our blockchain while you work on yours. Happy to compare metrics on your approach to scaling once Starknet…
I have a lot of respect for Solana but Starknet is better. It has higher scale and a better approach to scale - which is not by increasing the CPU/memory of those who want to track the network and validate it. Let me repeat that: NOT BY INCREASING CPU/MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WANT…
In a single upgrade, Solana added more capacity than Ethereum and all of it's L2s combined
i think solana added more capacity than ethereum and all of its L2s combined /🦆🦆🦆
Why does Base have higher median fees and lower network REV compared to Solana? Because the future of finance isn’t based
Giving a @baseapp invite code to the first 25 people that make me laugh.
our new transaction sender is absolutely cooking land faster and more reliably, anywhere - network-optimized endpoints for 7 major regions - send to both jito and swqos in parallel (or just pick swqos) - get access to the highest staked validator on solana - costs 0 credits
New ideas, protocols, and primitives are launching onchain every week, but their stories often go untold. Join us tonight for a workshop with @0xIchigo from @heliuslabs to learn how to turn raw blockchain innovation into clear, meaningful writing. 🕘 8pm UTC (9pm WAT) 📍 Google…
Introducing BAM: The Block Assembly Marketplace that revolutionizes how Solana processes transactions. Private. Transparent. Verifiable. This is how Solana wins ⬇️
TL;DR: I’ve joined @heliuslabs. We’re hiring across GTM and Engineering. If you’ve got a “let’s fucking win” attitude, hit my DMs. I’ve joined Helius as Lead Product Manager, focused on empowering developers to ship performant, capital-efficient systems for the next generation…
new exciting series for solana we did a 1-1 written interview with undoubtedly one of the greatest performance engineers on earth — @alessandrod we talk worldview, perf engineering, the future of Solana, his advice, and rapid fire link below
Behind the Code: Solana Writers Join us for a 2-day deep dive into how research meets writing in Web3 with experts from @heliuslabs and @Blockworks_ 📅 July 22–23 🕗 8pm UTC | 9pm WAT 📍 Google Meet ➦@0xIchigo ➦@marcarjoon
Today’s book of the day is Working in Public: the Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software by Nadia Eghbal

I built this to catch you up on PoH before Alpenglow comes out: A simple blog post and a vizualisation: 👇
I was on a Bitcoin faucet in 2011, but decided not to get any because I was under the impression that people from the dark web would find me and cut my limbs off. I didn't end up finding crypto again until 2020
