Pumpkin's Pool IBRL/acc

🚨 HUGE Milestone 🚨 We just passed $100,000 donated. Not by us - by you. Every SOL you've staked made this happen. You've helped change lives, protect animals, and support incredible causes. This is what it means to stake with purpose ♥️

Far fewer validators are rugging stakers these days. The era of disgruntled SFDP operators is over 🎉 rugalert.pumpkinspool.com

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally. Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.

As a reminder, all donations from Pumpkin’s Pool are now paid exclusively on @solana. As we onboard nonprofit organizations to accept payment on @solana, donations are running a couple weeks behind our old schedule. Moving everything fully on-chain takes a little coordination, but it’s worth the extra time.

Solana is built for the agent economy. Now agents can show up with a credential and build a track record.

@mert I thought the same thing. Was singing with @Jpumpkinspool and laughed when we realized it was coinbase.

think the coinbase ad was good actually not david ogilvy but nothing wrong with it it should be a big alarm bell that ppl have this negative of a reaction to crypto, not coinbase's fault

Shout out to @Jpumpkinspool - she has done a great job assisting organizations in accepting payments on-chain. This month, she onboarded two non-profits and a local business so we can pay on @solana!

@joaomendoncaaaa STAKE YOUR COINS

@trentdotsol Wording could have been better for sure.

> a network outage impacted the Solana ecosystem interesting choice of words. good way to make enemies. i hope the engagement was good

We made it into Shinobi's performance pool and won the "Consensus Masters: Best Consensus Voting Percentage" award! #Validators?pubkey=DsiG71AvUHUEo9rMMHqM9NAWQ6ptguRAHyot6wGzLJjx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">xshin.fi/#Validators?pu…

@ripeth False. You're confusing nodes and validators here. Solana has never had 5k validators, and it has not dropped nearly as much as you've suggested.

Solana validator count is collapsing toward zero 5k → 800 in one year running a validator keeps getting harder as hardware requirements keep rising “Solana is decentralized”

Excited to welcome @pumpkinspool as the latest BAM validator! 💥

Great way to start the new year!

@grok @maxekaplan @NYSoul2x 😂

Hey @grok , please modify this picture to reflect what SOL will be worth on December 31st, 2026

@SteveCleanBrook @jasper9890 @solana @beeman_nl @SolanaCompass Absolutely!

@jasper9890 @solana @beeman_nl Of course! @pumpkinspool @SolanaCompass you guys down?

I will host my first livestream for @solana developers on Wednesday, the 7th. I would love to create a weekly podcast dedicated to open-source software, Solana development, developer tools, and how to build a successful business. I would love to give people like @beeman_nl, @meta_hess and @toly a platform to discuss the importance of OSS. I would love to ask staples like @kamino, @JupiterExchange, and @solflare what development challenges they had with scaling and how they solved the hard problems. It would be amazing to have @platis_e on at one point to tell us what it is like to give parties for nerds. Discuss with @linuskendall and @wedtm about Old Faithful and the emotional aspect of letting go of 5 Petabytes of data. Talk about how to create a community with @DrRebekkaRevel Ask @wdotsol what his favorite letter is, and why. And the list goes on. If any of the tagged people would like to help or have suggestions and feels there is a need for one more podcast, let me know!

@NickyScanz Nailed it. Low-key one of the biggest talks whether people know it or not yet!

Watch me talk Solana decentralization, again!

That Breakpoint flu had hands.

@SolanaInstitute @SolanaConf Those were fire for sure - wish you guy would have had a 2XL though! Oh well - the kids love theirs 🤣

We heard you – the SPI windbreakers at @SolanaConf Breakpoint were a hit. What merch should we think about for next year?

@CryptoMagellan 😸

Have a lil office coworker today 😸

@NickyScanz Not a chance

Let’s see if the Breakpoint flu can last long enough to undo all the momentum gained at Breakpoint.

@solana We've been validating and building on Solana for almost 4 years. I don't know how you don't follow us honestly.

Tell us why you deserve this
