Phase #1 of Real-World Assets ➡️ Real-World Applications, our @solanamobile dApp. This marks a long-standing goal for us at BAXUS to bring real pricing transparency to physical assets. You can now scan a bottle, add a price, tag a location, get verified, earn points, and actively contribute to a living market of real-world data. Incredibly proud of the team and how far we’ve come. Only available for those who SEEK. 🚀🥃

Multicast isn’t new. It’s the backbone of institutional market data distribution in traditional finance, engineered for deterministic delivery, fairness, and scale. For the first time, that same class of infrastructure is now available to all traders.

If you believe in decentralization, read this.

it’s like Christmas morning 🤩

shall be using the absolute heck out of this

the end of api keys is coming

x402 is the most underrated thing in crypto rn nothing even comes close

For devs asking “how do I run coding agents without breaking my machine?” Docker Sandboxes are now available. They use isolated microVMs so agents can install packages, run Docker, and modify configs - without touching your host system. Read more → bit.ly/4teSVgL

engineers coming to terms with having to become PMs

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Umi was designed (by me at Metaplex) to solve a JS compatibility problem at the time. We were in a phase of uncertainty between web3.js and (what was at the time) an ongoing web3.js v2 rewrite. To solve this, Umi offered a set of interfaces such that switching from one to another would be just as easy as offering a new set of implementations for these interfaces. I naively expected people to use Umi as their main framework and no longer worry about the web3.js v1 or v2 underneath. The reality is that devs reasonably ended up using Umi mostly for Metaplex related tasks whilst keeping the rest of their stack the same. This meant people’s code base now contained a duality of type definitions for the exact same concepts and had to keep converting them back and forth. Kit took a different approach by not positioning itself as an opinionated framework with bells and whistles but as a vast toolkit that provides the foundational type system for working with Solana concepts in JavaScript. When we released it, we fully expected opinionated frameworks to emerge from it — with the added benefit that now all these frameworks would rely on the same types. We were trying to promote a healthy variety of opinions maintained by different teams in the ecosystem. However, a year later web3.js is still in the picture. We work closely with the Solana Foundation devrel team which is working on some great Kit-based frameworks (s/o to Gui and Cat there). That’s by working with them that we realised Kit would greatly benefit from a simple modular plugin system. It would not only make it easy for framework developers but also improve the developer experience of vanilla Kit. At the end of the day, no matter how many teams you talk with or how many community events you organise, you can never predict how a library is going to be received until it’s out there. I do believe Kit is an incredible piece of software and many JavaScript developers would agree. We’ve just got a bit more work to do to make this opinion less controversial.

Happy Hunting! 🥃🥃🥃

Spent my whole day hunting and shopping Such a wonderful experience with @BAXUSco using my @solanamobile phone I rank number one here now❤️😎 Wanna outrank me? Then you are in to ruin your Christmas. This is now my full time job…

🥃🥃🥃

@SangudoStables Thank you!!!

@web3princess Great job! Exciting times for Baxus. Always a great partner and great product!

it me! overly gesticulating!

@solanamobile Seeker szn just got a lot more boozy. Drink up, scan bottles, submit prices, earn prizes. Boom.

good app, got milk?
