Solana's game is mostly rigged (imho). Validators sell orderflow, landing providers sell orderflow, launchpads sell orderflow .. and everyone else with any distribution moat. You should start by convincing someone to smuggle some orderflow for you (for a decent commission ofc) or just don't bother at all. The effort to payoff ratio is too undesirable.

@mert @trentdotsol This is not true mert. x.com/Bruce_allinsol…

brother it's merely backrun on our own txns lol we explicitly say this on our dash, site, docs, & X no txns get deprioritized, our blocks still pack way faster than median, we simply return the value to user instead of letting it leak there's also no "prioritization", you can get the same fast landing we’ve put in hundreds of hours to achieve via h sender max crazy you can just put a clickbait headline and actually bait people

potentially unpopular opinion: block producers can do whatever they want under the protocol. not the spirit of the protocol, not the current marketing narrative, not ct vibes. whatever the protocol will allow

@eightbitsim @solana @Helius Another example here that proves this issue. Seen @mert try to claim that they don't offer order flow privately, which is unequivocally false It's making it impossible for HFT firms to operate profitably right now. x.com/Bruce_allinsol…

Two @solana validator operators are caught red handed running private inclusion lanes for one of the biggest MEV bots on chain. The backrunner MRiYA4oN3158fCV8evhuCofrDzbHyYvYnGZUDJvoCsa for the backruns analyzed: - Pays zero priority fee → 84% success on @Helius leaders, 80% on Kiln - Same bot, same txs, every other validator: 25% Not SWQoS. Not luck.

Another sign of Helius exposing order flow and mempool leakage.I analyzed 2mqrindMAjJEQPLhroYWyiYPo5h9iAsahfdd4QtsjwdY from Jun 1-Jul 8. Pattern: on mints where it sends 2+ buys, it uses multiple buy attempts with descending CU price, so the buy can land after the dev mint tx. If CU is higher than dev, the token may not exist yet. Dataset: - 1,363 qualified mints - 5,306 deduped buy txs - 21,224 nearby leader-slot rows checked - 99.85% leader coverage Helius accounts for: - 27.12% across slots -2/-1/0/+1 - 31.47% at the actual tx slot This does not look like normal public-chain reaction speed. The wallet appears to know the dev mint flow early enough to ladder buys behind the create tx, and those attempts are disproportionately concentrated around Helius-led slots. Helius needs to explain this order-flow pattern.

Being born into a wealthy family is probably the most poisoned gift there is. Rich kids love talking about the "sacrifices" they had to make to take over daddy's business. Yeah, shut the fuck up. Nothing comes close to building yourself up from the lower or middle class.

You mean to tell me the guy that was convicted of financial crimes would be willing to farm you for liquidity? I'm shocked.

I truly think we are about to enter the unibot / pepe stage of memes similar to last cycle not saying one is heading to billions in a week but I don't think we are far away from memes taking center stage again the truth is even with all the bundles, chains, vamps, multi wallets, etc there is nothing and I mean nothing on the planet, in any asset category across any industry that provides the possibility of memes you cannot put $100 into something anywhere else and make astronomical levels of return (6figs+). this is something I believe to my soul. if you don't agree you are lying. yes you may lose 99/100, even 100/100, but the one you catch the returns are so outsized if you told anyone outside of CT the money you've seen come and go out of thin air they would throw up. the older guard (even before my time) always cried about memes, and memes had a way worse perception pre pump fun, especially on CT. 99% of these accounts who say memes are over now etc etc after pushing them for two years would have NEVER touched a meme on ETH pre pepe. these guys were pushing infra on you that is either obsolete, doesn't exist, or no one cares. they don't even realize that the trenches have always been the most important part of crypto. while 90% of these guys left when eth hit $900 some of us were still ripping it onchain on 15k toppers. never left the game and went ballistic in 23-25. They complained this entire time, they pushed failed narratives like gamefi, zk coins, etc and missed RLB, hype, friend tech, pepe, etc. see they don't understand that we don't care about anything other than the score. we don't need to hear about the state of the trenches from guys who bought btc in their dorm on post illadelph rip for $0.13. they don't get it, they never have, they don't even know the game. they never saw KD drop 50 at rucker. they can't relate to what it's like to watch eth at $4K with a $500 port and praying to god that your next ape is the one. that they market doesn't top before you make it. apathy has hit an all time high, once the think pieces start coming out you know it's time to head back to the trenches it doesn't matter if its eth base sol hyperevm tron bob or ada onchain is always the place to be the good thing about the kids streaming themselves ripping $20K profit on 10k market cap shitcoins is that they do not care what anyone else thinks, and CT sometimes needs to wake up and realize they are old, they are not the main character anymore, no one cares what they say trenches never die. this doesn't mean go rip all your bread into new pairs, but don't listen to the people who tell you that this shit is over they have been saying the lights are going to cut out for years now and guess what we are still balling at least some of us still love the game.

@mert @solana x.com/dancentralized…

this is the most insane thing in crypto this year a design that achieves censorship resistance, geo distribution, and mev minimization while reducing latency 50ms economic ticks ai has anthropic and the frontier labs for 0-1 engineering and crypto has anza via solana

Also @toly @mert

@anza_xyz Isn’t this very bearish from an institutional standpoint? As far as I understand from this, latency won’t really matter. Transaction ordering will be solely based on bribes, similar to Jito. So essentially all arbitrage strategies are effectively wiped out. Which detracts millions, if not billions in volume from the chain. And 50% of all volume in traditional finance comes from Quant / HFT volume. So rendering this impossible on @solana will scare away whatever potential the chain previously had for attracting institutional volume I honestly don’t understand what this update solves. Seems to cause significantly more harm than good

@vaddotsol @zbr0wn @0xbrw Tagging for discussion.

@20th_Centurygal Take Care

probably the best thing I've heard on AI recently twitter is just an echo chamber of mid-curves quote-tweeting the goyslop @Citrini7 article youtube.com/watch?v=sXCKgE…
