For half a decade, solana/web3.js has been how developers, apps and users interact with Solana. Today, we're giving it the upgrade it always deserved: Web3.js 3.0. A package with the API you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on Kit.

NEW: The Quicknode SDK now gives developers and AI agents a product-aware way to build with Quicknode. Available in Node.js / TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Ruby. Admin API, Streams, Webhooks, and Key-Value Store are available through one SDK surface. 🧵 👇

I published a new @Quicknode guide on generating onchain random numbers with @switchboardxyz Switchboard On-Demand VRF on Solana 🎲 Perfect for games, trait rolls, lotteries, or any app that needs verifiable randomness. quicknode.com/guides/solana-…

My new recurring nightmare is someone sees what I've asked Claude and realizes how dumb I really am.

qedsvm is now open sourced, you can prove what the machine runs directly full SVM ISA is implemented/specified in lean, this means you can take an .so and prove that it implements your spec p-token's transfer path is proven spec to binary

@CryptoMikli The problem was he went with wine and not whiskey.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

The @Solana Frontier Hackathon product directory is live!🏔️ Frontier was the largest crypto hackathon ever & one of the largest in tech history with 2,857 submissions. Winners and Colosseum's next accelerator startups will be announced next month. arena.colosseum.org/projects/explo…

Announcing YC Crypto deals We're now providing crypto deals to support fintech builders funded by YC: support on tools like wallets, onramps, audits, blockchains, onchain data.

@0domart @privy_io Maybe this? x.com/i/status/20570…

Short message about @privy_io We have problems with them for 1 month, their support is awful and doesn't understand the root problem. We have to debug ourselves their own code. They take 1 week to answer and completely out. (And we are paying them 5k/month) For any app scaling to 1000+ users, with diversity of wallets used, I don't recommend at ALL Privy. We will shortly migrate off soon

If you had 10k USDC where on Solana would you park it right now for the best returns?

Very interested to see how this plays out! Use my referral link if you need one: crafts.dev/?ref=MVY54S42

@colosseum 1 SOL registration fee. Returned when you submit a project that meets basic requirements (repo, pitch, uses Solana, not obvious spam)

For future hackathons, what if we required all participants to stake 1 SOL along with their product submission? If the submission was determined to be in the bottom 50%, your deposit would get slashed. For startups in the top 50%, their deposit would be returned.
