Solana, Polygon, and ETH currently neck-and-neck in DAU w/ Solana gradually closing the gap over last month
With
@phantom
IOS launch,
@coinbase
SPL integration, and other stuff :) will be cool to see where we are in a few weeks/months
Who is thinking about, or has already started, building games on Solana? Plz DM. I want to help you.
Aside of course from the homies:
@defi_land
,
@AuroryProject
, and
@unlimitedcope
. Already on my radar.
Staked SOL for mSOL via
@MarinadeFinance
Staked mSOL on
@Saber_HQ
's new mSOL pool
Staked resulting LP tokens in Saber farm
All this took <45secs and was basically free.
Ahahahaha
Congrats to all the winners!! Competition was veeery stiff, so also wanted to shout out the Honorable Mentions - seriously quality teams in there who may well have been winners in past hackathons.
What all these projects are going to ship in the coming weeks and months 🤯🤯🤯
1/ The Solana Season Hackathon was the ecosystem’s biggest yet! Over 13,000 of you participated in the hackathon, producing 350+ project submissions from teams around the globe.
Congrats to the winners!

Am I missing something or have yall gambled $30MM playing a transparently negative EV game?
(50:50 odds but 3.5% fee)
Not hating
@degencoinflip
or its community, just find it hilarious. UX seems crisp. Go forth and conquer degens 🤣
It's great that Solana NFT floors are skyrocketing but I'd love to see discourse shift towards other stuff
(e.g., teams hitting roadmap objectives, community contributions, new tooling, new types of utility for NFTs)
Underappreciated virtue of Solana, the whole ecosystem focuses on making mainnet as awesome as possible.
No fragmentation of attention solving disparate L2 design challenges.

1/ Jupiter is now live! We are
@Solana
's first on-chain swap aggregator.
Our goal is to provide the best rates by routing across all major liquidity markets, while giving users and developers the best swapping experience in all of DeFi.

1/ I love
@CryptoCobain
but this is a weak take.
Browser-based "instant" games aren't optimizing for AAA graphics. They're built for accessibility and ease of social play (just share a link with friends and hop into a lobby)

When are we going to start seeing wallet-targeted ads on dapp websites?
Full visibility on spend and history exists on-chain.
Soon as I connect a wallet address to any dapp, presumably I could be shown custom ads based on historical wallet activity
We are delighted to announce
#neon
, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (evm) scalability solution built on
@solana
. Neon lets developers take advantage of the
#Ethereum
and
#Solana
ecosystems, as easily as deploying to existing eth Layer 2 scaling solutions. /1
As some astutely pointed out, I am an idiot and was using 24H figures for OpenSea, here is the fair 7D comparison:
OpenSea: $1,530MM
Solanart: $134MM
More in line with what I was expecting.
We are starting with the
@solana
blockchain, as we see the low cost and high speed of transactions as appealing to game creators who want to have a high number of in-game assets.
This automated "I voted" tweet by
@TribecaDAO
is awesome.
Ashamed to admit - my first vote with 5y locked $SBR was to..... pay myself for voting 😅

1/ NBA Top Shots did $505MM in volume in its first three months of heavy activity (Jan - March)
@SolanartNFT
looks like it'll do ~$400MM in volume in its first three months (July - Sept)
a cool product indeed -- unfortunately plagued by the Solana project "seed/presale + uncapped IDO" disease
the main symptom of this disease is having a chart that looks like this
IDO participants dumped on by heavily discounted early investors
1/ Crypto does only one thing 10x better than web2 - it makes you money.
99% of people first created a wallet because they thought they could make money.
And that’s ok.

@solana
mainnet. If you're interested in participating in our beta program, let us know below or reach out to us on discord / telegram!
Hiring an audit firm for a Solana project is near-impossible. So much so that the only way to keep moving fast is to audit yourself.
That's why I put together this auditing workshop. It takes learnings from Ethereum and applies them to Solana.
Our entire team is auditing now.
2/
@UpOnlyTV
would be good content to have
@apaley13
and other game builders on to discuss stuff like this re web3 gaming.
I can already imagine the interview questions "So when did you learn to code? Why does your game look like ass?"

@kliuless

@knimkar
explore how the excitement around NFTs translates into an explosion in gaming projects entering the crypto space.
📺 Watch on Twitch:
FWIW, Solana validators are the most hard working and committed bunch of people who help each other on Discord and work tirelessly to help build a censorship resistant, decentralized blockchain.
Consider the humans that have to get out of bed to deal with network floods.
1/ 3 We are excited to finally announce the launch of Acumen!
Acumen is a

Frustrated with the degree that Discord has replaced old-school forums.
Discord is great for hanging out with friends. But for asking questions and focused back-and-forth on specific topics, it's just not good. Reddit is decent tho
Claiming my Twitter handle as a

I consider myself a DAO-bear.
That said,
@wonderprotocol

@neofairies
is probably the first DAO use-case I actually am excited about.
Explained well here:
Seems like people are sleeping on
@blockstarsgame
Legit gaming team that'll actually ship a game
Not to mention the NFTs can be animated via
@Mixamo
which is pretty neat
