had a week off and naturally i decided to build a microblogging platform powered by
@Solana
NFTs!
excited to introduce you to
@etched_id
: write stuff in Markdown, publish your writing onchain w/
@Solana
, and share an URL to bask in all its glory
had the wonderful opportunity to help out with the official

@discord
integration in order to improve trust and safety on the platform!
the new "linked role" feature allows a user to link and verify their Solana wallet and automatically qualify for roles
Discord's newly announced Linked Roles include support for Solana β a first for any blockchain π₯
Servers with the Solana app installed can prompt users to link and authenticate with their Solana wallet, and assign Linked Roles based on the wallet!

@Visa
is scaling their USDC settlement pilot to include the Solana blockchain, enabling enterprise-grade throughput at virtually no cost for Visa issuers and merchant acquirers on Solana.
the product implications of token extensions on
@Solana
are enormous! my two favorite ones are transfer hooks and confidential transfers
transfer hooks are powerful enough to create permissioned tokens on the permissionless

while i wish that Formfunction could have been a wildly successful business, the next best thing to see is the team creating a foundation for many other teams to work off of.
this is the beauty of open sourceβcheck it out and learn more about how everything was made
Today is the day! π
We are fully open sourcing the code for Formfunction.
This includes the code for our frontend, backend, and Solana programs.
With this, it's possible to spin up a local instance of Formfunction in under 10 minutes!
this may very well be one of the most influential opportunities to ensure the security and decentralization of the

i have (and have read) plenty of opinions on the matter of spam NFTs on Solana over the last couple of years.
@vibhu
has the one of the stronger understandings of how the data flow actually works, and why the permissionless part of the blockchain is important, too
thereβs much
There is nothing sacred about something being in your Solana wallet and we need to stop treating it so.
You donβt need to destroy everything you donβt want in there.
If Web3 succeeds, there will be tens of thousands or maybe millions of digital assets in every wallet.

@cburniske
@solana
@loopringorg
they're describing a lazy claim, otw $0.06 * 10 million is still $600,000 to distribute NFTs to all addresses
that same 10 million on
@solana
is ~β10.76 (~$225), which counts both the tree storage cost + all the transactions to do distribution to all the wallets
i know it's been a bit, but here's a written recap of my most recent talk at
