Every team needs a dreamer and a realist.
One to shoot beyond the moon and one to say whats practical.
If the dreamer is too strong the team lacks direction.
If the realist is too strong the team is too slow.
Come join me and

@SolanaCrossroad
conference.
We’ll be chatting all things oracles,

, and why Switchboard On-Demand is so game changing for high speed data 🏎️ 🏎️ 🏎️

For the past few years we have been building Switchboard into the $2 Billion+ TVS protocol it is today. I could not be more thankful for the community that has grown around it and the appreciation that is felt from builders.
Making data access simple and cheap on the blockchain.

2. Use

I quit my job as a security engineer at google 3 years to help transform what fair market data looks like on chain.
Every day I wake up (when not pulling all nighters) I look at

and couldn’t be more proud to see how far we’ve come.
Took on industry giants and
4 horsemen of the solana apocalypse:
1. Failed to select a version of ‘zeroize’
2. anchor deploy
3. Transaction timed out after 30 seconds
4. Error: transaction too large
People are really starting to see the vision of
@switchboardxyz
on-demand.
All the flexibility of Switchboard with near zero latency and no more cost to maintain feeds!
I'm doing office hours for onboarding. DMS open
Have you ever been on the tarmac for 4.5 hours to be told flights cancelled and then delayed over 5 times consecutively for an international flights?
No?
Just me?
Great engineers:
- Find areas of improvement for a team and implement it
- Minimize work and meetings for the rest of the team
- Are willing and able to help other team members grow
- Are very vocal in documenting what others can learn from
- Are the first to triage user issues

you should really be using nonce accounts for non-high fidelity transactions. Here's a nonce manager I threw together.
Just maybe....

The

team is growing and growing!!!
If you’re interested in building out permissionless oracle infrastructure, come join the team!
We’re currently looking for an SRE to enhance insights and visibility across all oracles in the Switchboard network.

@mangomarkets
@triton_one

all have fantastic internal tooling on telling you why a tx did or did not land.
If they partner up they have the potential to make the ultimate devops tooling suite.

The next generation of bridges will just be a native part of the chain. Blockchains will shift to a recursive consensus model between dapps as they need to sync.
For the past 5 years I have maintained a single google doc for all my daily todos and notes.
Makes searching my random thoughts and bookmarks extremely accessible.
No todo applications or note taking tools have come close to the personal organization this has given me.
Switchboard On-Demand is here, and it's a game changer!
Switchboard On-Demand is live on Solana Devnet, bringing secure, efficient, and insanely fast data on-chain ⚡
It’s been really amazing to see
@switchboardxyz
come so far.
It’s been my lifeblood for the past three years. Switchboard on-demand product set is going to take this to a whole new level.
Don’t fade 🥂

Switchboard has breached another milestone: $2B+ in TVS 🏆
📈 Key reasons for growth:
✅ Trust in Switchboard
✅ Anticipation for On-Demand oracles
✅ Strong presence in the Solana ecosystem
