Introducing Tapkit Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone. Tell it to do anything and it can use your phone to do it. We've been iterating on Tapkit over the last few months with our earliest users and finally feel like it's ready for general use. Today it is easy to use, supports any agent, and can even use multiple iPhones at the same time. There are so many great things that we can do with this new primitive, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it with you. Try it now: tapkit.ai

Hey @Collect when are you going accept stablecoins? I'd much prefer that over linking my bank account to avoid the CC fees I can help do the integration, quite simple.

We've been looking at agave profiles after yesterday's massive spike and for the first time ever, not a single thing went wrong. Not even a minor glitch. This despite the fact that we know 4.3 is already so much faster and less jittery than 4.2. We can already do 10k tps easily. There is one last known bottleneck in turbine we're working on, after which we can do 100k and I can retire.
10ktps sustained and wagmi

Update. +$1527 Played great to get a big stack, but once in the money there aren’t meaningful payouts increases until you 150 more go out. I picked a great spot for a +50% chance at a double up and be chip leader, cruise to higher payouts, but the cards went the other way, gg

14,000 square feet. Hundreds of founders from around the world. 24/7. 31 days straight. Demo Day. 5 years in, and a momentous 10th iteration of the most action-packed startup experience you've ever seen. We're honored to introduce you to mtndao X. ---- @mtndao - the world-class startup summit with @solana roots that today gathers top founders from frontier industries around the world - is back for its 10th iteration. We're calling it mtndao X. It runs from August 1-31, 2026 in our home: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Like always, mtndao is invite-only. This February's mtndao was the most exciting mtndao we've seen yet. We debuted mtndao Demo Day, and our second-ever Demo Day will be happening again this August. A generational experience 5 years ago, mtndao was born from the small but exploding @solana ecosystem. Solana and mtndao are small no more, and mtndao has since birthed more global hackathon winners and world-class teams than any other event in the community. As Solana expands to be internet rails for a new generation of software companies - it's been incredibly exciting to see more talent come through mtndao. Frontier industry talent from AI, deep, and robotics now visits the MTN. @ycombinator and @fdotinc companies show up at the MTN. We expect this to grow, and welcome any entrepreneur who is building something world-changing to apply. Best-in-class infrastructure: you'll work here We’re proud of the infrastructure we provide and run a strict culture that is intensely work-forward. Expect: • A spacious, beautiful, 24/7 workspace • 120 @autonomous_labs desks, @secretlabchairs, and 4k 32” monitors at every desk. • 20GB entreprise-grade wifi with 7 independent electricity circuits to handle upwards of 400 devices simultaneously. • Catered lunch, snacks, and caffeine so that you never stop. Bring your gear We’re excited to welcome builders from all over to the greatest mountains in the world. Reminder: you must apply and be accepted to mtndao X to be allowed entry. Link below. See you on the MTN, and thank you for being with us 5 years running.

after four long years, last week was my final one @SolanaFndn. along the way, i've been witness to the growth of one of the strongest ecosystems in all of technology (let alone crypto) and i'm deeply appreciative of having played a small part in where @solana is today there are too many stories to recount and too many people to thank so i won't begin to try, but i'm forever a fan of the entire Solana ecosystem and always hope to count myself as part of the family as for what's next: i seek to fulfill a decade-long vision quest to build the last company i ever work for with my friend @nkumar23. across both of our many interdisciplinary experiences throughout our careers, we've seen the value of being glue, of mixing-and-matching skillsets, and of building powerhouse teams to tackle hairy problems. this all-around mindset is embodied by the rare achievement of getting a 5x5 in basketball: at least five points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks in a single game. only 15 players have done it, ever. we will take this approach to heart with the next step of our journey. this creative technology lab slash product studio slash members collective will have both highly experimental and entirely practical outputs, which we'll explore with software, writing, events, & art. we'd love for you to follow along as we figure it out: 5x5.studio // @5x5_collective

Running list of things every protocol team should ask themselves (and which curators and large traders should ask too): 1. Which admin functions can, when called, lead to loss of funds? 2. Are those functions all behind timelocks? 3. Is there monitoring that notifies the team anytime the admin functions are called? 4. Which accounts are privileged? Are all of those multisigs (k of n)? 5. What are k and n on the multisig(s)? 6. Do all multisig signers have separate cold devices only used for signing? (No email, telegram, claude code, or running code other than the signing script) 7. Do the multisig signing procedures follow best practices - e.g. independent verification of hashes using something like safe-tx-hashes-util? 8. Are there rate limits on withdrawals? How are those controlled (hopefully not by the same multisig!)? 9. Do employee computers have malware detection / MDM? 10. [Important] Let's assume that k multisig signers get compromised. (Conceivable, given infinite attempts at social engineering + npm exploits.) If you were the attacker, what would you do? Now what changes can you make to make the attacker's life much more annoying? What did I miss? I will keep adding to this

Crypto trading is experiencing a structural shift: For years, serious liquidity lived off-chain on centralized exchanges, such as Coinbase and Binance. Now, decentralized exchanges are becoming MORE efficient. For example, a $1 million Solana, $SOL, trade on Solana decentralized exchanges (DEXs) now moves price just ~5 basis points, per @JupiterExchange. By comparison, Coinbase sees price swings of ~12 basis points, more than DOUBLE what Solana DEXs are seeing. Institutional-grade execution is rapidly moving on-chain.

Project Eleven to Advance Post-Quantum Security for the Solana Network Project Eleven, the leader in post-quantum security and migration for digital assets, today announced a collaboration with the Solana Foundation focused on preparing the Solana ecosystem to be resilient against the emerging threat of quantum computing. As part of this initiative, Project Eleven led a full threat assessment and to prototype a functioning Solana testnet using post-quantum digital signatures. Under the engagement, Project Eleven conducted an in-depth risk analysis of how future quantum advances could affect Solana’s core infrastructure, user wallets, validator security, and long-term cryptographic assumptions. In addition, Project Eleven also deployed a functioning post-quantum signature system on a Solana testnet, showing that end-to-end quantum-resistant transactions are practical and scalable. “Our responsibility is to ensure Solana remains secure not just today, but decades into the future,” said Matt Sorg, VP, Technology at the Solana Foundation. “The Solana ecosystem's culture of shipping will continue with the release of a second client and state of the art consensus mechanism this year. Efforts like Project Eleven's reflect early, concrete steps to strengthen the network and stay at the forefront, ensuring Solana's resiliency long-term.” Project Eleven is uniquely positioned at the intersection of advanced cryptography and real-world blockchain engineering. The company is developing post-quantum tooling, monitoring systems, and migration strategies for several leading protocols and ecosystem stakeholders. “Our mission is to protect the world’s digital assets from quantum risk,” said Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven. “Solana didn’t wait for quantum computers to become a headline problem. They invested early, asked the hard questions, and took actionable steps today. The results show that post-quantum security on Solana is viable with today’s technology.” These efforts on Solana underscore a broader industry shift toward quantum-safe infrastructure. As both private and public research accelerates, experts warn that blockchains relying on classical signatures could be vulnerable to future quantum attacks, including the theft of funds, spoofed validator identities, or manipulation of system-level cryptography. Project Eleven will continue its efforts as the ecosystem evaluates migration paths, standards, and adoption of post-quantum primitives.

On London 🇬🇧 Recently, London has become an easy target: social dysfunction, a growing distance from free speech, and an unease with its own culture and history. It invites pessimistic comparison not just to its storied past (Magna Carta, common law, constitutional monarchy), but even to London just 15 years ago. But viewed through a different lens - as an emerging market for blockchain - the UK is actually interesting. The UK is signaling a regulatory reset: unblocking crypto, aligning more with the US approach than the EU’s. Whether this is real progress or another false start (eg 2022–2023) will become clear over the next year. We think and hope London surprises to the upside in 2026. One goal of Breakpoint is to create mutual introductions between the Solana ecosystem and jurisdictions becoming crypto-friendly Lisbon 2021; Singapore 2024; Abu Dhabi 2025. As Solana grows, we can also take on the mantle of demonstrating to jurisdictions what this industry can and should be: real technology, real products, serious builders innovating on financial infra, set amidst a professional, optimistic, and fun culture.
