Today's Sunday school is on Sunday Staking. Certainty has a yield. When a validator sets aside blockspace for reservation, that generates revenue that wouldn't exist in an open-queue model. The participant pays for certainty. The validator earns from providing it. The protocol captures the difference. rkuSOL is the yield expression of that argument. A certain kind of infrastructure. Link below for how to stake with rkuSOL.

The GENIUS Act deadline lands today. Stablecoin infrastructure is now a live legislative question. The question underneath it… how does a stablecoin actually settle, and who guarantees it - is still the hard part. Legislation names the expectation. Infrastructure delivers on it. Expect certainty. Build for it.

Missed today's townhall? We've got you! There's actual news in here.. - Phase labs delegation: approved yesterday - Shinobi stake pool: delegating live this week - New product going into early testing with a tight cohort of early users. not sharing names yet. Just "good names" - The rkSOL DeFi integration driving the most growth right now is exponent finance. If you're not there yet, go look. Also Arnaud, repping our glories growth team, watched collector crypt flip in revenue this week and thinks most prediction market apps are going to die. A refreshingly honest take

5 takeaways from yesterday’s Solana Circuit with @GnatyukA from @SuperteamUKR: 1. Crypto has been speedrunning TradFi without realising it. Every structure we've invented has a TradFi equivalent that was stress-tested over decades. The models that survive look like equity. 2. Token holders and product users are almost never the same person. RWAs just hit $4bn on chain. The RWA tokens aren't doing that well. Onchain activity and token price are weakly correlated at best. 3. Forced token utility kills projects. VCs push founders to launch tokens before there's real utility. The token becomes the distraction from the product. 4. The cost of building has collapsed. Two or three people and some AI agents can ship an MVP today. The excuse not to start is no longer the problem. 5. Proof of work is back. The whitepaper-to-20x era is over. The people winning right now are contributing, building, and learning, not waiting. Check out the full conversation below, what are your takeaways?

St Swithin's Day. Legend has it that if it rains today, it rains for 40 more days. An entire forecast built on one uncertain data point. Submitting a transaction and hoping for the best is the St Swithin's Day of financial infrastructure. Ahead of time, every time. Not probably. Certainly.
