wrapped up solana summit serbia last week & my head's still in belgrade. prolly the biggest solana event in europe this summer. 70+ speakers, serbia's assistant minister on stage, tokenization of securities on the table with @solanafndn & @solanapolicy. - marko set the tone early. "solana is to finance what netflix was to entertainment & amazon was to shopping." - mert on stage on why you build on solana, core devs pushing block times toward 300ms, down from 400 a few weeks back. - the @lagunacarta mktg panel was one of the sharpest of the whole event. - interesting convo between @realrockychung & @ramzyyalii to help understand where tokenized equities actually stand today. i got to speak on stablecoins on solana representin @reflectmoney with @altitude & @sp3nddotshop. - altitude turning solana into the account businesses run on. - sp3nd letting anyone spend stables on anything. - reflect putting structure around risk & opened its first tranched market on syrupUSDC with @maplefinance during the week. frontier traders hosted the most fun competition ive ever seen. eight traders, real capital on @phoenixtrade, down to a 1v1 on the main stage in the closing hour. s/o to @simonmolitor, @yo_itsmatt, @businessmngr. watching the solana @ecosystemcall run live from the main stage hit different. demo day said it louder than any panel could. @seedplex_io first, @hobba_io second, @jurassicfi third. tokenized dinosaurs, beehives, silver, equity. the balkans aren't waiting for permission to bring real assets onchain. 45+ side events turned belgrade into one big lobby. - monkedao w @supersimon77 @zCase_ @bibseebliss brought 100+ monkes out to celebrate five years. - solflare's rooftop views were unreal. - superteam connect proved you just need good people & an open sky. real credit to marko, matija, superteam blkn & the entire crew for pulling this off. getting ready for breakpoint now. europe's stablecoin & rwa race is on and it's running on solana.
