@eurofounder @grok is this true?

Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour" So beautifuly said Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth No human being should make over €150k a year It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America

BREAKING: We're partnering with @SolanaFndn to rebuild Solana's read layer from the ground up. @anza_xyz and @jump_firedancer have done incredible work scaling execution and networking, but the read layer has stayed largely unchanged since genesis. It was built alongside the validator and never got its own architecture. By 2026, that gap shows: slower access, expensive customisation, and growing limitations at scale. The teams closest to the problem built great tools behind closed doors because the read path was too deeply coupled to the validator to improve without massive effort. It's time Solana's data access layer matched the ecosystem's needs, and we're proud to be the ones building it: Big news: reads are moving out of Agave into two modular systems, independently scalable, in sync with the network tip, open-source and managed by @SolanaFndn: - Accounts: an adaptive indexing engine that ingests, stores, and serves the exact account data your app needs at extremely low latency - Ledger: full architecture to ingest, store, and serve the entire ledger faster and more efficiently in a columnar engine purpose-designed for how builders query data Every infrastructure provider, builder, dApp, and institution benefits, with the biggest impact coming from what gets built on top. Full architecture overview: blog.triton.one/announcing-rpc… More technical posts coming as we build through 2026, so make sure to follow us on X and subscribe to our blog.

Whether the next president is a Republican or a Democrat, can we have someone with at least a little class next time? Because this is embarrassing.

we’re baking releases too long. ship faster

wake up your friends. wake up your enemies. get upgraded asap!

@heymike777 I use SyrupUSDC. Pretty stable yield and proven

Where do you deploy your stablecoins these days?

Validators: If you are currently running experimental XDP retransmit support on Mainnet-Beta, please disable it immediately while we patch a stability issue. We'll announce when it's safe to resume.

Solana early days, where we are headed next! Hear us talk about anything and everything! @brianlong on Pirates Parley episode 6. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Very proud and honored to have won at the Solana Privacy Hack Special thanks to our sponsor @triton_one for the reliable RPC

Big news! 🚀🌊Our PAYG self‑onboarding is live. You can now get a premium Solana endpoint in seconds with clear pricing and no vendor lock‑in. There’s a long list of what goes into “premium”, but you’ll feel it most in: - Reliability: premium hardware, autofailover and global distribution - Support: top‑notch engineers, always ready to help - Speed: 5x faster historical gT and up to 50x faster gPA scans - Access: same services and flexible limits with every subscription, so you can start small and scale as you go What are you waiting for? customers.triton.one/onboarding

Validators!! Let's get 3.1.8/0.811.30108 to super majority before the weekend 💪

The team at @triton_one has been working on some amazing new open source tooling for historical ledger that I can't wait to show you!

Jito did an excellent job here! The late block packers are very easy to see. Is your validator anti-IBRL? 👏👏👏

Wednesday at 4 pm UTC, I will host my first livestream/podcast, Pirate's Parley, powered by @triton_one. My first guest is @WilfredAlmeida_, who will tell us how to boost Node.js gRPC performance with NAPI and Rust. If your backend is built in JS, you do not want to miss it!

Big year!

I will host my first livestream for @solana developers on Wednesday, the 7th. I would love to create a weekly podcast dedicated to open-source software, Solana development, developer tools, and how to build a successful business. I would love to give people like @beeman_nl, @meta_hess and @toly a platform to discuss the importance of OSS. I would love to ask staples like @kamino, @JupiterExchange, and @solflare what development challenges they had with scaling and how they solved the hard problems. It would be amazing to have @platis_e on at one point to tell us what it is like to give parties for nerds. Discuss with @linuskendall and @wedtm about Old Faithful and the emotional aspect of letting go of 5 Petabytes of data. Talk about how to create a community with @DrRebekkaRevel Ask @wdotsol what his favorite letter is, and why. And the list goes on. If any of the tagged people would like to help or have suggestions and feels there is a need for one more podcast, let me know!

Super proud of this team and what was achieved in the last year. Let's keep pushing the education forward in 2026. 📕 Big thanks to @triton_one, @solflare and everyone else who made it possible. Happy New Year everyone! 🎉
