you can build literally anything on solana with just helius cli btw I built prediction markets, spot/perps dex (UI), forensic tracing, PnL tracking, an explorer, and a full wallet using nothing but this (and cf + supabase) npm i helius-cli

@Pickle_cRypto The best R:R in crypto and it's not close

ZEC suffers from being in Bitcoin's shadow, and being too volatile Privacy is cool but it's not price stable enough, I'd rather just use shielded ZEC and a medium to mix funds and deposit into a fresh account by swapping using Near intents straight into Bitcoin which is less volatile, or simply USDC on w/e chain No one will legitmiately store wealth in something that nukes 90% every few years. No one is that fucking stupid. It's Bitcoin 3 cycles ago but in a world where something like Bitcoin already exists, so can ZEC actually challenge it? Given the above though, its where the asymmetrical bet lies too. It can 10x in bitcoin terms right now and still be barely in the top 10 cryptos, and barely 3% of bitcoins mcap. 100x and we're only at 1/3 R:R is pretty decent for the coming cycle Will grab a bag eventually

@silhouette_ex @Zcash 🔥

ZEC just went dark. Shielded $ZEC spot is live on Silhouette. @Zcash's unstoppable private money meets unstoppable hyper liquidity. ZEC/USDC app.silhouette.exchange

@robustus don't think it can work on BTC infra, has only really been possible since late '24, maybe even only early '25

@mert We tried that in 2013. On one hand, didn't really catch on. On the other hand, BTC did 100x in 2013.

never in the history of man have we had a universal API for money with this as the building block: coordination, finance, and capital formation become possible at planetary scale for the first time, ever language models are fun, but crypto is existential for capitalism

@SolanaEvents @solana @toly will he be talking about iran?

📣SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT We're excited to announce our first confirmed speaker for Solana Accelerate USA in Miami. Join us as we welcome @solana Co-Founder and Chief Phone Salesman @toly to the stage. Word on the street is he'll reveal how many hard quarters we have left to go.

@n4teg @LanaAI it's just invite only product testing

@mert still planning for @LanaAI launch today?

@PiccoGabriele something is very correct

if your Solana devs aren't burning at least 250k on Helius RPCs, something is wrong

$BP is live on @solana. Swap $BP with Backpack Wallet with zero fees.

uh oh

if you're iran here: - open a colossal short on S&P on Hyperliquid - tweet: "we have 0 idea wtf Trump is talking about" - chart tanks - fund war for another few weeks

roughly 0 difference in the comms style of a failed NFT founder and donald trump

.@tyler and @cameron: "The financial crisis of 2008 catalyzed Bitcoin. AI is going to catalyze Zcash and privacy... Think of Zcash as encrypted Bitcoin..."

not an accident that all the news are timed around market open/close

trump really is the best painter since van gogh

if you want to move $1 USD via code today, without using crypto, how do you do it? plaid + bank account? paypal/wise API with tons of paperwork and no flexibility? this is not appreciated nearly enough, this barely exists. crypto is the universal API for money itself

$10,000

Privacy first, chain security second, evolution third Zcash built its culture + technical stack on a privacy first foundation It's great to see this passed on - doing one thing well defines every category winner

always the same thing. 100% hit rate. run your mouth violently for months leading up to launch. get the farmers excited. fake some metrics in a non prod environment. then, launch. disappoint at literally everything. and then blame the market. on to the next grift

no team is more revolutionary than the one that's not live

@akhileshutup there is no 2nd best

@mert really like your way of asking people to replace their openai api calls with helius api calls mert

leaving crypto for ai is incoherent what are you going to do? train a frontier model? no call an API provided by the big labs? yes groundbreaking stuff
