Pumpkin's Pool IBRL/acc

🚨 HUGE Milestone 🚨 We just passed $100,000 donated. Not by us - by you. Every SOL you've staked made this happen. You've helped change lives, protect animals, and support incredible causes. This is what it means to stake with purpose ♥️

Alpenglow is live on testnet cluster! Screengrab from @pumpkinspool WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE THANK YOU @solana

Big fan of the new necklace @pumpkinspool bought for me from @solanaspaces with @KASTxyz

𝕏 chose Solana. Visa chose Solana. Stripe chose Solana. PayPal chose Solana. CashApp chose Solana. Western Union chose Solana. Just. Choose. Solana.

@SlashrDev They are running Agave 4.1.0-alpha.0 🤔 I wonder if this is a test validator run by Anza? It's mostly just one stake account.

6th incident in 30 days. 9BSZriSF validator bleeding ~$36/hr on 58K #SOL stake. 2.3x worse than network average. At this rate, delegators start moving. #Solana #slashr slashr.dev/validator/sola…

@SlashrDev @Figment_io

@Figment_io — your Solana validator has been down for 413 hours. 13.2M SOL at stake. Estimated cost to delegators: $5.7M.

@SolanaEvents @solana See you all soon!

In less than a month, we will take over Miami to showcase and celebrate American innovation at Accelerate USA 🇺🇸 But @solana is too big to be contained by a single day. So we will highlight our consumer and AI builders with events on the days before and after Accelerate.

This past February, Pumpkin’s Pool teamed up with Dundee Elementary for a donation that was all about kids helping cats. Dundee’s Student Council and Kindness Club collected boxes of supplies for Felius Cat Cafe, then brought them over in person. The students got to spend time at the cafe, meet the cats, and learn how Felius takes cats in, cares for them, and helps them find homes. We also made our monthly donation to Felius via the Solana blockchain! It took some time to onboard them to accept payments on Solana, but it was worth the wait! Seeing kids show up with donations for shelter cats was awesome. Being able to pair that with an on-chain donation made it even better!

Dude this is awesome! I had no idea you were into shooting! I fell off the past couple years due to focus on the chain, but ironically just got some range time in yesterday. Felt great to be back. Maybe some day we can go shooting together if there's a range near of the conferences. Could be a fun time for a smaller group. I mean that sounds unlikely, but it would be pretty cool if it happened.

if you like shooting the best 9mms and running around, you need to visit staccato ranch

Good news - we have XDP, zero-copy, and DoubleZero all working together on testnet! 🎉 Kudos to Anza for fixing the bugs!

Far fewer validators are rugging stakers these days. The era of disgruntled SFDP operators is over 🎉 rugalert.pumpkinspool.com

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally. Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.

As a reminder, all donations from Pumpkin’s Pool are now paid exclusively on @solana. As we onboard nonprofit organizations to accept payment on @solana, donations are running a couple weeks behind our old schedule. Moving everything fully on-chain takes a little coordination, but it’s worth the extra time.

Solana is built for the agent economy. Now agents can show up with a credential and build a track record.

@mert I thought the same thing. Was singing with @Jpumpkinspool and laughed when we realized it was coinbase.

think the coinbase ad was good actually not david ogilvy but nothing wrong with it it should be a big alarm bell that ppl have this negative of a reaction to crypto, not coinbase's fault

Shout out to @Jpumpkinspool - she has done a great job assisting organizations in accepting payments on-chain. This month, she onboarded two non-profits and a local business so we can pay on @solana!

@joaomendoncaaaa STAKE YOUR COINS

@trentdotsol Wording could have been better for sure.

> a network outage impacted the Solana ecosystem interesting choice of words. good way to make enemies. i hope the engagement was good

We made it into Shinobi's performance pool and won the "Consensus Masters: Best Consensus Voting Percentage" award! #Validators?pubkey=DsiG71AvUHUEo9rMMHqM9NAWQ6ptguRAHyot6wGzLJjx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">xshin.fi/#Validators?pu…

@ripeth False. You're confusing nodes and validators here. Solana has never had 5k validators, and it has not dropped nearly as much as you've suggested.

Solana validator count is collapsing toward zero 5k → 800 in one year running a validator keeps getting harder as hardware requirements keep rising “Solana is decentralized”

Excited to welcome @pumpkinspool as the latest BAM validator! 💥
