Building crypto infrastructure for a brighter future @chainflowpos & @chainflowsol / Bitcoin values in a proof of stake world
Good reminder of why I started @ChainflowPOS We're not here to replicate the current power structure that benefits the privileged few and the financial system that upholds it We're here to build an alternative system that serves as the foundation for a brighter future, for…

I continue to ask my guests, “who’s selling Bitcoin?” The answer from those who have been here since the beginning like @EdanYago and @brucefenton is always the same… Early whales who were here for the freedom and libertarian ideals who have thrown in the towel because they…

#KeepStakeDecentralized
Too much stake is still concentrated in the hands of a few Migrate will reward the ones who help fix this and move Solana forward
I've been asking for this for years and am happy to see Ledger's monopoly on the Solana CLI come to an end 👏
1/ Solana CLI support is coming 🔥 We are thrilled to partner with the @SolanaFndn to bring native hardware wallet support to the @Solana CLI! More power. More protection. Let’s talk about what this unlocks for you ↓

How to monitor network health and validator status via the Gossip tab? How compute units, tx fees, and scheduling decisions interplay to maximize validator profitability? The logic behind CPU resource allocation and timing to ensure optimal performance: youtu.be/keeTteqCeog
How decentralized is the network you're staking on? The Nakamoto Coefficient measures how many validators could potentially control a network. Higher = more decentralized = safer for everyone. Check the resilience of your favorite network here: nakaflow.io
Decentralization matters. Even lawmakers are beginning to take note: witness the definition of IMPARTIAL SYSTEM in the CLARITY act. I just checked L2Beat. Arbitrum, Optimism, and all of the other top 16 L2s are all "Stage 0" or "1", meaning "with training wheels."
L2s, by the Genius Act definition, are centralized. @auroraisnear's Virtual Chains offer a path forward—same DevX, but built on NEAR’s 300-validator set acting as a shared decentralized sequencer. We’re already working with teams migrating from Optimism and Arbitrum stacks.…
Rough timeline of events here: 1. Justin Sun pulls ETH supply from Aave. 2. Utilization spikes ETH borrow rates on Aave. 3. stETH loopers are now unprofitable, so start de-leveraging. 4. A bunch of this de-levered stETH hits the staking withdrawal queue. 5. stETH depegs 30 basis…
Save us both an unnecessary step, scrap the "hope all is well" and skip right to the ask Your brain and mine will appreciate it, especially in the summer 🌞
About a month ago, we started seeing issues with our @ChainflowSol Firedancer validator staying synced with the network. After extensive troubleshooting, we decided to migrate back to the Anza/Jito client, until we were more confident about the root cause. About a week ago we…
What the best resource that explains the bull case for crypto treasury companies? I think I already understand the bear case and am trying to balance my perspective.
Mixed feelings today after the House passed three important crypto bills. Some jumbled thoughts ⬇️ In the past few years, crypto has institutionalized itself in an appeal to Wall Street. For better or worse, that’s where we are today. Onchain, but designed for the exact people…
Dapp teams running their own Solana validators in-house are interesting, those that simply slap their logo on a white label service, not so much, as this contributes to operator-level centralization
This week’s update covers: - Slow blocks & validator incentives (Kiln, Galaxy) - Jito MEV gaps & Agave performance - Firedancer bugs & disconnects - Hardware ≠ higher APY? Read details here: chainflowsol.substack.com/p/summary-of-s… #solana #validators
Congratulations to all the video production companies getting paid to make crypto videos right now, you're currently the picks and shovels of the moment ⚒️ (Lesson/warning in there too...)
Everything I got into crypto to avoid, all in 35 seconds
#RobinhoodPresents: Crypto, coast to coast.
The only way decentralization succeeds is if it goes unnoticed in the background of products people want to use with UXs that don't scare them away
The inconvenient truth about institutions entering crypto is maximization of profits above all else – and zero respect for our ideologies or principles. Unless that “lip service” somehow allows them to attract more users (and profits). Welcome to the cut–throat world of…
