For over 2 years+, I’ve been deep in node operation + DevOps — running my own mini datacenter out of Ikorodu Lagos , Nigeria. Powered by solar energy. Internet via Starlink. Infra built by me, for me. Uptime? 98%+ Let me show you the lab:

1/ I'm sharing the 10 ideas I'm most excited about in crypto right now. If you're building something in crypto or thinking about doing so - check it out. We’re building lots at Coinbase, but we don't have time to tackle everything. So I figured I'd share these. Bear markets are the best time for building - why not start today?

1/6 Antifun is a token launchpad that eliminates sniping and MEV opportunities. As requested by @toly

1/ Applications for Cohort 3 of the Solana Incubator are now open! Join us in NYC for 3 months starting September 2025 to grow your project alongside the Solana Labs team. We're seeking 4-6 high-quality teams who are ready to build the future of Web3. 🧵👇

hello @solana_devs 👋🏾, i've been working on a crate that extracts idl from solana programs (including native👀) with elf analysis, tx simulation and ix parsing⚒️ check out the repo below, watch out for a demo video tomorrow 🚀 github.com/dvrvsimi/solan… @accretion_xyz @r0bre

Growth!

We freakin' done it. Solana now has a proper Debugger.

When it comes to depegs, timelines are critical. Each Cork market operates with fixed-duration terms. Make sure you're timing the opportunity.

Solana developer tooling is evolving Over the next 6 months I expect devs will use: - Surfpool, not solana-test-validator - Gill/Kit, not web3.js - Litesvm for testing, not mocha - Pinocchio, not solana-program DX is leveling up

Builders, rise up. Superhosts and @colosseum are teaming up to bring the Solana Breakout Hackathon to your city, IRL. Host your own event, get funding, and rep your community on the global stage.

Request for Proposals announcement 🛠️ The Solana Foundation is looking for contributors to improve open-source developer tooling on Solana — with up to $75k in funding available. Two new RFPs: — Solana Math Library Improvements — Python Renderer for Codama Details & apply 👇

@DUKETHAGREAT @JupiterExchange @jup_mobile @jup_dao @jup_uplink @JUPCatdets @weremeow @kashdhanda Congrats💯

JUP in NAIJA - FUNAAB Edition today was an absolute success 💯💚🪐 There’s something I can’t explain really, when I go on stage to talk about @JupiterExchange, I always just have MORE TO SAY! Spoke for two hours plus on all they should know about Jupiter and got them all on the JUP Mobile. I’m super glad it was a success! JUP is home 🪐💚 Full pictures and videos drop soon 💯💚🪐 If you were there, share your pictures and videos below. Or quote this with your pictures and videos.

it's okay to be a beginner

Web3 users shouldn’t have to choose an EVM chain. Just like web2 users are never asked to pick an AWS region.

The next thing to study is Rust 🤫 Don't miss out 🫡

PSA: If you're using `tx.origin == msg.sender` to prevent smart contracts from interacting with your contracts, please read this. The next Ethereum hardfork (Pectra on May 7th) includes a change that allows you to work around this check (EIP-7702). If you built your smart contracts to only be interactable from externally owned accounts (EOA), please double-check your assumptions. This was common in some early DeFi contracts. I heard from a founder of a DeFi protocol that blackhats are already testing for this. Do not wait!

I just added more stuff to the awesome-solana-security repo, please check it out: 🔗github.com/0xMacro/awesom… There's a brand new section called "Codebases to Study". I hope the repo will be even more helpful.😁
