This past week alone on Solana we had: - >$450M stablecoins growth - P-token upgrade freeing up ~12% blockspace - Perps volume up 83% All while having major tech tooling improvements by teams like @blueshift and @temporal_xyz. Another big week for Solana.

The @solana community remains undefeated. After releasing cctv footage of 2 men who each stole a custom leather @spenders_club jacket at our Miami Accelerate pop up, we received a flood of tips, photos, videos, and messages of support from so many of you (as well as some embarrassing attempts at rage bait engagement farming) Today, thanks to some serendipitous filming, we are releasing clear photos of the two clowns who thought they were better than everyone else. We’ve cross-referenced time stamps and the cctv footage to confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that these are our culprits. If anyone knows who they are, PLEASE DM us, publicly name them, or shame them however you see fit. Let’s make sure they know this rugger behavior has no place in our community. We love you Solana, thanks for having our back

okay so i'm hosting a live fundraising show where 3 startups pitch a panel of investors, and the audience gets to invest in real time. broadcasted on X. the panelists are respected internet personalities - heavy-hitters in consumer, AI and DeFi. may 26th. founders, hit me up.

In light of the new Twitter algorithm, my strategy is the same: - amplify cool Solana people - celebrate cool Solana people - help cool Solana people win (plus tweet as often as I want and occasionally about non-crypto things)

This is the most fun I’ve had suffering a shared inconvenience with friends 😂keeping a hat on me at all times, every Friday for a year The most fun I’ve had being a maniac for $6 One of the most fun things I’ve done in crypto Isn’t it interesting that most “community” and token projects have burned millions of dollars on launches and KOLs and couldn’t keep their rented attention for longer than 3 months And yet the telegram chat/ hat tap is the winning combo. Fun, low friction but skin in the game, and a physical component that made it easy for the routine to become a badge of honor Wait until the AI companies discover chipped merch Hats off to @deptofagri - let’s do it again

personally i like the majority of perp dex teams on solana, whether their engines are onchain or off chain phoenix guys are great. they built one of the best propamms in the space and are brilliant quants pacifica are ingenious pulling strong volumes, implemented tap to trade and are working on cool options stuff bulk lads are eyeing more arcane markets and i am told are cooking bullet, gmt etc are all solid guys as well either way solana will be upgraded within 12 months and they can bring the majority of their architecture onchain. until then, lets just ship as many cool products as possible

While @altitude will conquer global business finance, we respect our roots and a big focus for us is helping Solana companies manage their financial operations. If you're building in the ecosystem - we will give you the best on/off ramp experience across many fiat rails, powered by the Squads treasury infrastructure you're most likely already using. Book a demo with @GarrettHarper_ and he will onboard you at Solana speed:

Second best thing @solflare did as part of their rebrand was choosing a very distinctive (some might say too bright) colour and leaning into it 1000% Best thing is that they dove head first into supporting and celebrating the @solana community, and that bet really paid off
