I've aged about 3 years in 3 weeks what's top of mind right now re:umbra: - $154,943,746 is a lot of money - $154,943,746 is a lot of money - discretionary cap didn't achieve one of its desired effects - people still put in more than they actually had in demand - so it basically

Today was a resounding success for the Solana Blockchain and a vindication of the idea that you don't need a modular aproach to scale. Work done by @anza @jump_firedancer @triton_one @heliuslabs @phantom and all of the other infrastructure providers working to make Solana the #1

So: When everything went into meltdown in November 2022, everyone and everything was in panic mode. In the middle of it all, Raj asked me how I was doing. I said - “I am probably not supposed to say this, but I am so excited. The opportunity ahead of us is immense. I love

Solana might just be winning the GENIUS Era Solana doesn’t host the most stablecoins. And yet: it boasts the fastest-growing stablecoin supply. In the nearly 3 months since Trump signed the GENIUS Act, Solana’s stablecoins in circulation have jumped over 40%, reaching $15b.
