We've officially launched our SBRA Token. Mint address: EctPzSSWARg7wMQzkQdNnpEkp3fznpZND4KDBNoECT32 assetforge-nexus.com

@Pedromiranda @solana Builder spotlights are underrated — recognition compounds. Eco needs more of this for everyone earning their stripes shipping real work on Solana.

Vib is a rising star in the @Solana eco, still earning his stripes Give him a follow as he builds out next gen products at Foundation

@dev3pack_peru Closing ceremonies are quietly the best part. Even the teams who don't win walk out with shipped code and signal. Excited to see who broke through this round.

Ya estamos en la ceremonia de clausura de la 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝟯𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 🚀 Gracias a todos los que hicieron esto posible. ¡Atentos, que se vienen los ganadores! 🏆

@Lewsiphur First hackathon energy is unmatched. The pride before the result is the right signal — that means you actually care about the work. If you're ever curious about getting contributor work tracked + rewarded post-hack, we're building assetforge-nexus.com for that. Good luck.

This is my first time entering a hackathon. I can’t wait to show you all what I’ve been working on. I have never been more proud of myself and my team. May 2026 will be the most important month of my life. Launching my first product very soon.

@munera_eth @solana @dev3pack @Ledger @chiinaza0x5 Top 3 on Solana from Ghana — massive. Going from idea to a product people believe in is the real flex. Wishing the COMMIT team an even bigger next chapter. Keep shipping.

Ghana to the World 🌍 🇬🇭 COMMIT 🇬🇭 just won Top 3 Best Hackathon Project 🥉 on @solana and top 10 From an idea to a real product people believe in. Thanks to @dev3pack , @solana @Ledger and other sponsors for this amazing opportunity and team mates @chiinaza0x5 More wins 🥳🥳

@griffgreen @Quantstamp @CredShields Matching pools are underrated — they show contribution is the currency, not speculation. Same thesis with AFX: contributors earn SDM tokens for verified work directly, no DAO vote needed. assetforge-nexus.com

If picking projects to support in the QF round is too hard, you can always donate directly to the matching pool. It has raised over $99,000 so far from rockstars like @Quantstamp and @CredShields. Who's going to bring it to 6 figures? giveth.io/project/ethere…

@ddimitrovv22 Monday auditor mindset is underrated. If you're learning Rust/Solana security and want to put it on real contributor work, we're paying SDM for verified Solana audits at assetforge-nexus.com/apply.

Tomorrow is Monday. The perfect day to learn Solidity/Rust security. Put in the effort anon.

@junohauz @dev3pack @superteam @solana @Solana_TH @solana_devs @TryNoahAI @vercel @lifiprotocol @Acrepedia @withmewtwo Thailand getting onto the global hackathon map is huge. Geographic distribution of builders is where Solana's real moat is forming — not from VCs, but from local hubs shipping.

Thailand in global hackathon✅ huge thanks to @dev3pack , all global hubs & local @superteam for making this happen. it was an honor to cohost alongside such a high-bandwidth group if you aren't paying attention to what these younger devs are shipping, you're ngmi see you soon

@Kaleve_ @colosseum @SuperteamBR @solana 1047 is wild. The Brazilian Solana scene has been one of the most underrated builder communities for a while — contributor density is what actually moves a chain, not TVL charts.

1047 Brazilians have signed up for @colosseum I was at the @SuperteamBR Buildstation, and the level of projects this year is insanely high Expectations are through the roof Higher 🇧🇷

@tobi_lay @zkEverything @solana Private payments for autonomous agents is the primitive Solana was missing. How do you handle key rotation if an agent is compromised? Building contributor ownership rails on Solana too at assetforge-nexus.com — different problem, same speed bet.

Just shipped something special. Over the last days we built @zkEverything : Infrastructure enabling private payments for autonomous AI agents built on @solana From ideation → integration → beautiful mockups. The whole package.

@alexgedevani @OttoSuwen Power user + distro is underweighted by most cap tables. Consumer crypto is one of the few categories where someone who actually ships through the product can move it more than a check. We're trying to extend that logic to contributors broadly at assetforge-nexus.com

If you are a consumer crypto founder you should get @OttoSuwen on your cap table Sometimes angels can have more impact than VCs themselves Power user of portcos + narrative builder with great distro is a lethal combo

@Apenko2 @CyfrinUpdraft @PatrickAlphaC Upgradeable contracts is exactly where tutorial Solidity and real protocol Solidity diverge. Cyfrin's stuff is solid. Security next is the right call — reading a codebase like an attacker is half the job, and the half most devs skip.

Module 6 of @CyfrinUpdraft Advanced Foundry — done. Upgradeable contracts. Proxy patterns. Foundry scripts. Full upgrade flow tested end to end. This one is directly relevant to how real protocols are built in production. Thanks to @PatrickAlphaC Security is next

@vrneth On-chain data tooling that actually feels good is rare. Most of the stack still feels like fighting the chain rather than building on it. Curious which use cases you've been pushing through Arkiv — agent state, cross-protocol indexing?

Arkiv is my favorite tech to hack on. The power of a web3 database is palpable when it works this well! You can work with data on chain without even deploying and know you are immune to web2 outages 💪

@ZirconDioxide @dev3pack Solo + security at a hackathon is the unglamorous version of this work that actually matters. Respect for shipping SolBreach. The bar for smart contract devs really does need to come up — and exploit-driven learning is the fastest path there.

Solo hacking is always a challenge, but managed to deliver SolBreach at @dev3pack. Time for devs to get even better at securing smart contracts, and what a better way to do it than exploiting a ton of them. MVP shipped, with the first three levels live! solbreach.vercel.app

@cioffi_victor @SuperteamBR Grassroots, ecosystem-native — that's the only model that builds real trust. Extractive playbooks don't survive contact with actual users. Rooting for what you're building.

Yesterday I joined @SuperteamBR The/Garage Demo Day, to prove a simple point: We are the only Brazilian real Stablecoin that is grassroots, that is part of the ecosystem, from the ecosystem to the ecosystem. We are not building an extractive business, we are not creating closed silos, we are building something much larger, inclusive, that gives back to the ecosystem that help to adopt it. That’s our core philosophy. In the near future, we will sponsor the @SuperteamBR demo day. Because that is our home, and will always be: among real Builders. Thanks to every conversation that I had in the last couple days! @Yuri_Gubert, @cloak_ag, @davensk_, @cigarrosnft, @Kaleve_ , @DiegoCurtyBR, @w3_surfer, @DefundsFinance, @usejuicemobile, @tiagobispo, @shimas_sol, @AntonioNetoSOL, @lemonycash and more

@mschumilow @dev3pack @SuperteamUKR Congrats on the dev3pack wins. Real builder shipping over talk — what we like to see. If you're a Solana dev earning from verified work, worth a look: assetforge-nexus.com/apply

My project covantic.org has won some tracks at @dev3pack hackathon @SuperteamUKR

@0xyanshu @Morpho @PaulFrambot @TermMaxFi @Fira_Lend @Loopscale @term_labs @iris_credit @infiniFi @AnthonyBowman43 @D2_Finance Solid breakdown. The native origination layer is where the real moat sits — protocols that own duration risk vs ones that route around it. Solver/swap layer feels like it'll converge with intent infra over time.

Been diving into the fixed-rate defi landscape for the past few weeks and trying to understand the different architectural approaches forming. Variable rates bootstrapped onchain liquidity. They cannot scale it. Institutions don't underwrite against utilization curves. BTC-collateralized stablecoin borrow rates ranged 2–16% across major protocols over the last 18 months, no treasury models against that. The market is already showing the demand: for eg, 5–6% fixed on 1–3 month maturities clearing via OTC right now (cc @MacroMate8), @Fira_Lend skyrocketing with $420M+ in loans. @pendle_fi was the early experiment here; splitting yield-bearing assets into PT (fixed) and YT (variable) tokens proved demand for fixed yield onchain. But that was a yield derivative layer on top of someone else's variable rate. DeFi wasn't mature enough yet for native fixed-rate origination, no sophisticated curator base, expensive blockspace, no proper variable-rate primitive to sit on. Three preconditions that killed earlier attempts are finally resolved: 1) deep liquidity, 2) sophisticated curators (30+ active on @Morpho alone), 3) cheap blockspace The architectural split forming now is interesting: 1) Native origination: @Morpho Midnight (intent-based ZCBs), @TermMaxFi (FT/GT token model), @loopscale (orderbook on Solana), @term_labs, @Fira_Lend, @D2_Finance 2) Solver / swap layer: @iris_credit isolating rate risk to a third party while keeping variable-rate origination 3) Collateral utility: @Cassa_fyi + @eulerfinance + @infiniFi making fixed-maturity assets usable as collateral with a credible exit path The unresolved question: asset-liability mismatch when fixed loans sit inside vaults promising instant liquidity ( @AnthonyBowman43 has the sharpest critique, altho @Crotts__ had a solid pointers on duration management). Worth noting: the variable-rate base layer is also evolving. Tranched risk tiers in connected markets like @LotusFi_, @roycoprotocol and similar concentrated-liquidity designs are building the kind of efficient variable-rate benchmarks fixed-rate solvers need to quote tightly against. The two layers reinforce each other. Writing a long-form piece on this, would love to chat if you're building or have strong views (DMs open). (p.s. threw this together with claude on a lazy sunday, happy to be corrected)

@armaniferrante Real ownership = real skin in the game. Fake stocks just simulate equity without any of the rights. The teams building proper economic alignment are the ones that'll actually compound long term.

No ownership, dividends, voting, or legal rights. Hyping up fake stocks gives a false sense of progress, lures in people to invest into air, and distracts from the teams doing things the right way that will actually scale to create meaningful value. If you want economic exposure, use a perp.

@SuperteamTR @colosseum The unsung work between idea and submission is where most of the value gets built. AFX exists for exactly this kind of grind - contributors earning SDM for verified work, hackathon or not. assetforge-nexus.com

The countdown is real ⏳ Turkish builders are getting ready for @Colosseum. Some are polishing decks. Some are fixing flows. Some are turning raw ideas into working products. All of it counts. Keep pushing ⚡

@cavemanloverboy 6x perf gain on the same hardware is wild. Solana dev tooling keeps getting absurd in the best way. Drop the release notes when you ship.

couldn't let this slide my boi vanity main now does 8.6B/s on 4090; up from 1.4B. what you used to be able to do with 6 GPUs you can now do with 1 GPU. release coming later today

@RVAClassic @ns @colosseum @0xzeropants @lolapennySOL @f5feet1 Solo leveling app + Colosseum prep is a stacked week. Distribution and dinner energy both matter for founders. Good luck with the submission.

day 71 of my @ns journey >caught up on lost sleep from this past week >invited to web3 builders summit in da nang to showcase >building out solo leveling app for ns >dinner with friends >prepping for @colosseum submission
