token launch is a very stressful process for teams but it is usually just a one time process and all the learnings and infra buildup are lost after that one launch.
the past few launches on the LFG platform including our JUP launch, we learned a ton. now, it is awesome to share
1/ For the Solana developers who are looking for token vesting / staking programs written in
@anchorlang
, here is the program you might wanna have a look:

After months of BUIDLing, I can finally release our very first developer tool with proud: solana-mf. In short: it restores the entire mainnet account data in your test validator. Developers now can build and test with mainnet account data.

Just made a major update on the note of Anchor Escrow. The goal is to share the power of Anchor with you and make your hands dirty by writing a classic escrow program in Anchor, step-by-step:
@solana
4/ Even after these changes roll out, it is important developers of applications optimize their program deployments.
The below guides will help you optimize your compute usage and compute requested:
6/ Side note: I and my team mates
@wei_sol_
@emersonliuuu
@SaiyanBs
have also written notes about how the programs work, together with other interesting topics such as creating NFT DAO and building auto-compounding bot:
5/ You can dive into the the code to learn more about advanced usage of Anchor too. These could also be a good learning material for devs. (cc

Pop up 20+ validator on
#Solana
Devnet in 3 hours and vanish into thin air👀
Thx to
@googlecloud

@eefylin
lead us to run validator on top of powerful VM (12 Core CPU & 128 GB RAM), and
@Dappio_
Tech Lead
@ironaddicteddog
for sharing why being a validator is important🔥
3/ ...Here are some changes:
- Upgrade Anchor to latest version (Currently 0.24.2)
- Optimize some function invocation to avoid stack frame limit
- Rename struct and module to make them better reveal its designed purpose

Also, I want to shout out this awesome talk given by
@armaniferrante
at
#BreakpointLisbon
. Anyone who is a (former) Rails dev plz raise your hand 👋
2/ These programs are originated from Serum's stake program developed by
@armaniferrante
. However, there are a few things evolved from the original version...

And that's it! It is so much fun of BUIDLing on
#Solana
. Spoiler alert: Does anyone struggle in the test environment? I have been researching some cool shit. We will see 😎

So first: Why
#Solana
?
- It’s a new blockchain paradigm evolved from
#Ethereum
(more or less)
- It’s blazing fast and efficient, meaning it will be cheap and affordable for average users
- It’s a good investment on modern web technology (
#Rust
/
#Typescript
, etc)
1/
In this tutorial, I will share my thoughts on:
- What makes
#Solana
so fast and efficient?
- What should I learn at minimum to understand how
#Solana
program works?
- How can I setup my the environment quickly?
- What is the best practice to develop
#Solana
programs?
Crypto is back.
@Stripe
will start supporting global stablecoin payments this summer. Transactions instantly settle on-chain and automatically convert to fiat. Join the waitlist and watch the demo (h/t
@Solana
) from Sessions.
3/
We all know that devs love to see "X vs Y" to minimize the cognitive cost of learning new tools.
So, compare
#Solana
to
#Ethereum
, what are the pros and cons?
4/
Pros:
- Parallelism is the secret sauce making it blazing fast
- Efficient network synchronization using PoH Clock (VDF)
- Efficient PoS Consensus (Tower BFT)
🚀 We're excited to announce an impressive lineup of speakers for
#SEABW2024
!
Join us to hear from leading figures in the blockchain and Web3 space:
Vitalik Buterin - Co-founder of
@Ethereum
.
@VitalikButerin
's vision for Ethereum has been instrumental in shaping the blockchain
Just wrap-up some handy NFT minting tools in a tutorial 💪
Definitely helpful for devs looking for:
- How to generate profile pictures (pfp) from trait materials with configurable weights
- How to upload pfp and metadata to Arweave
Psyched to announce
@DappieGangNFT
will launch on DropZone, Jan 26th!
Dappie Gang is a collection of 6,666 unique Rabbit GameFi NFTs with DeFi utility. The 1st of which is access to the
@Dappio_
Wonderland on Solana🐰
Join the Gang:
Drop details soon!

I am also seeking for better way to contribute to
#Solana
community. Not sure wether a long thread on Twitter is the best way 🤔
@therealchaseeb
bro I noticed your ambitious new project too and would like to hear your inputs too.
Excellent tutorial by
@ironaddicteddog
replicating the original
@paulxpaulxpaulx
escrow program in Anchor. Anchor is a gamechanger for those out there building programs in Rust that want to abstract away some of the lower level code.
6/
Now you can have another option for case 3: Use solana-mf to restore the mainnet data in your test validator! Every account, every program, it's all there. And this is how we
@Dappio_
test our DApp.
9/
Also, we would like to invite folks from team
@solana
to give it a try 😀 There are definitely things to be improved. We would love to hear your inputs and even work with you 🦾
