This is an amazing, simple explanation of a very complex topic by @Austin_Federa - my main takeaway is that DoubleZero can solve so many problems that are stopping blockchains from scaling to millions of transactions per second. Multicast FTW
The bottleneck for blockchains isn’t compute. It’s communication. Multicast over private fiber introduces a step function change in data propagation, enabling high throughput without centralization risk. @Austin_Federa on Multicast in Distributed Systems ↓
I was thrilled to be quoted in this article because it's amazing how far banking for crypto companies has advanced. @meow in particular has been an incredible partner for us and makes banking super easy for web3 companies...long may it continue
For years, crypto firms complained about being “debanked” in the US. Under the Trump administration, a group of fintechs is rolling out the red carpet. wired.com/story/the-grea…
DoubleZero is all about pushing the limits of what's possible and removing barriers holding blockchains back -- like reliance on the public internet. I'm thrilled to be working with @anza_xyz, @jito_labs, Firedancer, @DriftProtocol, and the @solana Foundation to make the dream…
1/ Solana is taking major steps towards becoming the home of internet capital markets. 🧵👇 Upcoming changes are designed to give developers ALL the tools they need to build efficient, liquid markets on-chain.
Got rid of my Apple Watch. Got rid of my Whop. Got rid of my Oura ring. Muted Bryan Johnson No more sleep scores. No more recovery scores. Optimizing every part of my life caused more stress than it solved Ironically I've never slept better in my entire life I think we are…
Truly. Wispr Flow is 100x better and a total game changer....it's kind of laughable at this point.
Apple transcription is still so, so bad compared to what’s available on market, they should be embarrassed
It's alarming to think how many people within how many companies are looking at this and thinking "We need to figure out how to get them to drink more."
do France, Spain, and Italy, which build infrastructure at a fraction of the cost and time we do, not have environmental and worker standards?
“Abundance” is just eliminating worker & environmental standards we took decades to earn. I’m all for building lots of things, for investing in building things big & small. But not while creating more low wage jobs. Union labor - skilled, trained and fairly compensated!
great read on DOGE. Sahil worked there for $0. They had no real authority, actual firings came from agency heads. Govt rules made RIFs prioritize seniority over performance (crazy, classic govt inefficiency) He got let go for talking about it publicly.
My experience working as a software engineer for the Department of Veterans Affairs, on behalf of DOGE. sahillavingia.com/doge
This talk from @malbeclabs_cto is the best explanation yet of how @doublezero is not just different than the public internet - it’s purpose-built for blockchains. That makes it possible for Solana to scale to the crypto use cases we all dream about.

Ever notice NYC has more scaffolding than any city on Earth? It isn't because they're building more. It started from tragedy > then it became safety theater > now a $10B bureaucratic protection racket blessed by the government & unions In 1979, a Barnard student was killed by…
NYC scaffolding is a massive, massive business
It's insane that Solana is not listed in @googlefinance . They have Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic and a bunch of other nonsense....clearly has not been updated in 4-5 years and it would make a lot of things in Google Sheets way easier
The attention given to the papal conclave just shows how dependent the media is today on any form of live event with uncertainty. ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. only still exist as services because of sports and live news events like this
If any crypto founders/COOs/operators ever want to get recommendations on vendors, banking partners, internal systems, etc. I am more than happy to chat. Happy to share what I know to help other growing companies - DMs open 😀
As the @CoinList sale draws to a close, we're thrilled to see that over 260 validator operators across five blockchain ecosystems have chosen to participate in the @DoubleZero token sale for validators. With over 1,800 indications of interest, the validator ecosystem has shown…
No one is operating on his level
Now Adams is wearing a new version of this shirt, reading, “in Dio confidiamo” which is “in God we trust” in Italian. Adams says it’s Spanish and in to honor the victims of the Dominican club roof collapse.
Thousands, and then millions, of American small businesses, including many iconic brands, will go bankrupt this year if the tariff policies on China don’t change. 🧵
Phase 1 of the 2Z Token Sale for Validators is Complete ✔️ The initial indication phase generated $50M of interest, with the final clearing price set at $0.075 per 2Z token. Phase 2: The Purchase Period begins now. Allocation recipients have been notified via email and if…
Very excited to welcome Tom to the @doublezero team!
