Permissionless capital markets Censorship-resistant capital markets Decentralised capital markets This is why I'm here

@jkdotsol @vyralabshq @ChainflowSol We're still figuring it out. I think the most important thing we learned was to get paid first, stabilize that foundation, then reinvest in the network and community from that base. Conversely, the "build it and hope to get recognized and rewarded" dream died early and hard.

@cfl0ws @vyralabshq @ChainflowSol That's the most useful thing anyone's said to us today, and it's coming from the people who've been doing this longest. Genuinely asking: what did balance look like for you? Was it picking fewer tools, or funding the tooling work with something else?

Everyone says running a validator is a bad business. They're probably right. I didn't start one because I had money to burn. I started one because I wanted to understand the validator layer and build around it. That's how @vyralabshq started. There are still a lot of challenges ahead, and success isn't guaranteed. But we believe in the @solana ecosystem, the people building it, and the future we're helping build.

@amiravalliani @solana Independent validators don't matter anymore, let the stake concentrate among the institutional operators and we'll still be just fine

I'm starting a list of potential debates @solana Breakpoint this fall - looking for juicy topics that spark real debate among people with good faith, high conviction, and killer stage presence. A few on my list: - VC is a doomed asset class - Collectibles will go the way of NFTs - Prediction markets should be banned - Battle of the stablecoins - a debate-off between USDG/USDC/USDT/OUSD/PYUSD - Atoms are trendy but bad investments What should I add to the list, and who would be your dream speakers on these topics?

The forge reopens soon. Are you ready?

Networks measure time in epochs. We measure commitment the same way, @solana.

@jacobvcreech This is one reason we calculate Nakamoto Coefficient by operator on nakaflow.io See also chainflow.io/the-layers-of-…

Node count is the biggest red herring to decentralization Solana is much more decentralized today at 700 nodes than it was in 2023 at 2000 nodes The claim that more nodes = more decentralized is completely false

For the most part, users don't care about decentralization. They do, however, care about what decentralization provides in the long-term; lower fees, less-KYC, composability, ergonomics, frontier experimentation, lack of lock-in. Therefore the goal as DeFi builders is to properly demonstrate that long-term value in the short-term. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task at all. Centralized entities can probably hide their true nature for up to a year: they can lower fees in the short term, blur/delay KYC, open up composability and then rug it later. They also have capital today for short term incentives. Eventually, however the chickens come home to roost. But before them; what do we do? On one hand, we can target more educated users that have seen the same scenarios play out or have read about it. This, however, severely limits potential user-base. Generally, the other option is probably incentives 'imported' from the future that a centralized entity cannot guarantee. There lies the big idea; the future. The future is the realm of decentralization; it's where it is infinitely more valuable than centralization which has non-horrible characteristics now but always regresses to the mean. Decentralization, however, protects against the worst cases. If you can open up a stable communication/value channel with the future; you can sell decentralization and you can align customers on a bigger vision. It's why storytelling and vibes are so important in crypto; they can appeal to emotions which are more tapped into the future than thoughts. Tap into the trifecta of education, storytelling and incentives.

Finally reading "Broken Money" by @LynAldenContact and it's a good reminder that $BTC and other internet-native hard monies will most reward the patient ($ZEC the most credible complement to $BTC, in this category). From 2016-2025 there was a wave of impatience as the promise of blockchains drew crowds of people that didn't deeply understand Bitcoin, and treated the space as simply another tech platform. Bitcoin is more of a social reboot, than a technological one, and such a reboot takes decades to play out. Now, impatience is washing out to other seemingly faster moving waters, taking us closer to what things felt like in 2015 and before... which will once again reward those that understood all along.

1/25 Solana Decentralization Report | June 2026 Solana's decentralization is one of crypto's most debated topics. At its core, it's about how stake, and therefore consensus power, is distributed across validators. The more concentrated that stake, the fewer actors required to influence or disrupt the network. This thread analyzes it by the numbers. 🧵

@StarkeFinance Great report overall but we believe the NC is closer to 10, see logic here nakaflow.io

4/25 Solana Stake Control Thresholds Solana's Nakamoto coefficient rose from 18 to 19 over the last 15 epochs, indicating stronger decentralization as more validators are now needed to disrupt the network. The supermajority threshold also rose from 76 to 77 validators, meaning taking full control of consensus has become more difficult.
