Perfect example of the benefit one gets from being part of a vibrant L1 ecosystem rather than trying to build your own: you don't have to develop everything yourself. Yesterday, "but. I want to pay my fees in USD" was an objection I had to worry about. Today, not so much.
Solana devs: help us break Kora and make it better. Kora eliminates the SOL requirement for Solana transactions, so your users can pay with any token. Fee abstraction for Solana via JSON-RPC + SDK. Try it, file an issue, share all feedback below 👇

Shh!!! Don't spoil it! This is the best excuse for busy people ever invented. "Sorry I didn't reply to your email but I deleted everything in my inbox to save the polar bears.".
The UK government environment agency literally doesn't understand physics. Deleting information uses energy, storing it doesn't.

Corda underpins world's largest collection of TradFi blockchains. >$15bn of assets. We're leading convergence of TradFi with growing public DeFi ecosystem. But which to target? What are the requirements a network needs to satisfy, and why did I conclude Solana was the best fit?.
R3 (@inside_r3) has spent a decade building real-world asset networks for the biggest institutions in finance. Now they’re integrating with Solana. @gendal breaks down why.

Super interesting video in which a (Fields-level) mathematician solves some of this year's International Mathematical Olympiad questions. (Only issue is that he doesn't actually show the question in its original form, but you can get them here ).
From time to time I like to video myself solving maths problems in real time. Since the IMO has just happened, I plan to try a few of this year's questions. Here I get through Question 1. More to come at some point.

My team spent a decade building the world's largest collection of permissioned blockchain networks. Today, we're connecting this ecosystem to Solana. But why was it private in the first place?! What were we thinking? I wrote this post to tell the story :)
