GTA 6 is launching without a disc. The Solana ecosystem is pressing its own. ☆★★★★ $TTWO (Take-Two Interactive, publisher of GTA 6) lists on Solana tomorrow. Issued by @Backpack Securities. Listed onchain via Sunrise.

📈Report: @Solana has surpassed major CEXs, including @Bybit_Official, @coinbase, and @krakenfx, in weekly DEX spot trading volume for the fifth consecutive week, ranking second only to Binance.

Agave 4.2 is almost here. The Agave 4.2 release brings three major feature-gated upgrades: - 90% rent reduction - 3.3x larger transaction size - 200ms slot times Plus, the complete code for Alpenglow, the largest protocol change in Solana's history, which is coming in Agave 4.3. 🧵👇

🚨BREAKING: @Solana is set to increase its mainnet block compute limit by 66% in less than 24 hours, from 60M to 100M CUs, with SIMD-0286 scheduled to activate at the start of Epoch 1009.

Today, we reached a massive, game changing milestone for @zama : 1,000 confidential transfers per second on GPUs! This is up from 0.2 tps when we first demoed FHE smart contract at ETHcc in 2022, a 5,000x improvement in just 4 years. Running an FHE node now costs only about $0.000004 per ERC7984 transaction, orders of magnitude cheaper than ZK. This breakthrough is a combination of better cryptography, better engineering and better hardware, which compounded to create this super-exponential performance improvement. We are confident we will reach 10,000 tps by 2028 and 100k tps by 2030. 1,000 tps is also the milestone we needed to achieve to feel confident launching on faster chains than Ethereum where users expect low latency, high throughput and near-zero gas fees. This hasn’t been activated on mainnet yet, and is planned for EOY alongside some other massive features and overall improvements. FHE is basically solved when it comes to financial transactions onchain, and we can finally kill the old narrative that FHE is slow, because, well, it’s now SUPER FAST 🚀🚀🚀

Very impressed by Armani's trajectory Started Anchor which became the standard way to build Solana programs. Then launched Backpack directly into the FTX collapse, and then spent three years chewing glass with little to no narrative behind him In hindsight the obvious bet was always Armani. Very few founders can go through what he and Backpack went through and still maintain the psychological endurance to keep building I’m not an investor but the ability to absorb that many setbacks and stay motivated is one of the cleanest signals of a great founder
