NEW: Uganda grants operating license to Starlink.

Multiple security vulnerabilities affecting React Server Components and Next.js have been disclosed. We strongly recommend updating your applications immediately. Cloudflare WAF managed rules already mitigate the disclosed denial-of-service vulnerabilities, and we are investigating additional coverage for several other CVEs. developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post…

With the help of Claude Mythos Preview, the Firefox team fixed more security bugs in April than in the past 15 months combined.

We’re entering a market where every new dApp comes with its own swarm of agents. And they all show up at once. They all hit the same execution path. That’s where things start to break. Introducing NorthStar by Sonic SVM 👇

@notkinsa Congratulations, brother. Only love. Upward and forward only. It's been an exciting journey with you. Excited about the future.

A chapter is ending. I’m stepping back from my full-time role at Sonic and transitioning into an advisory role. A strange sentence to write, but one I’m genuinely grateful for.

What a time to build.

Trading is a zero-sum game. You compete on strategy, speed, or both. And while being the smartest is your challenge, being the first depends on your infrastructure (and it just got a major speed boost). Deshred transactions, our new streaming endpoint, lets you see Solana transactions before the RPC node executes them. It taps into the validator pipeline at the Blockstore stage and delivers fully reconstructed transactions over gRPC, p50 ~6.3ms ahead of the regular stream. - In production on Triton - Open-source (+ merged into Agave 4.0) - Node.js SDK ready Before you ask if it's private flow (it isn't), here's how it works under the hood.

AI agents shouldn’t just talk about markets. They should trade them. Today, we’re launching Manic Agent Mode. A new way for AI agents to participate in real-time prediction markets across crypto, stocks, and gold on Solana.

ForgeX 🤝 Sonic 🚀🚀🚀

Most "Market Making" on Solana is terrible. The best teams don't share their tech stack. Today that changes. Sonic SVM acquired @ForgeX_tools, a battle-tested MM toolkit for devs/agents. We're open-sourcing it today GitHub: github.com/mirrorworld-un… Here's why it matters👇

@jacobvcreech Noice ❤️

P-Token, SIMD-266, has been approved 🎉🎉🎉 This change will drastically reduce token transfer costs and in turn increase the capacity of the network ETA to mainnet - April

@nhanvp @mert @nick_pennie @japarjam @toly True. 👀 So some product-oriented questions wouldn't be too far off from target.

@codebender828 @mert @nick_pennie @japarjam @toly The disciplines of eng, product and design are merging. Everyone thought PMs were gonna become eng too but the reverse seems to be happening. As such: Staff/principal level only. Strong product/business sense, should be able to run a tech or product line independently

Founders, what is your engineering hiring strategy like today? Noticing an increase in the usage of AI interview tools when interviewing some candidates. Hard to spot, but there's a conviction that ought to follow the candidates affirmations when responding to questions.

@nick_pennie @mert @japarjam @nhanvp @toly Good note. Is the coding round peered (are you on the call with them?) Been giving take home exercises, and for each test, I have a passing criteria and I look for some things that would demonstrate depth of understanding, ownership and digging deep. Considering taking it sync.

similar to before: coding, sys design, peer chats adding a coding round w/ ai assistance to mimic on the job work and yes, conviction is important. the main goal of our interviews is to assessing fit, depth of understanding, ownership, ability to dig deep & think from first principles, etc

AI is cool BTW. This is not against it. We're literally using it at @DonutAI and @SonicSVM .
