I really hate all these chains saying they are the next @solana. Solana solved the problem of exploding tx costs and slow commit times. Really think what problem you’re solving as an L1. What problems now persist?. The obvious answer is transaction sizes, landing guarantees,.

.@Switchboardxyz has been part of Solana’s journey since early on, first hitting mainnet in April 2021. Since then, we’ve consistently managed 3-7% of Solana traffic, supporting a diverse range of community-driven data feeds. My personal blood, sweat, and tears have gone into.

🎛️ So how does @switchboardxyz bridge the gap between blockchain and AI? 🧵. 1/ Switchboard is one of the leading oracle solutions for on-chain applications. Its permissionless oracle-building model has been a game-changer, empowering anyone to create data feeds instantly—no need.

I couldn’t be more proud how far @switchboardxyz has come. I have not taken a day off in 4 years and, with all the hard work, could not be more proud of how amazing this product is. Just-in-time oracles are a new paradigm. Maximally scalable, maximally fast, simple to.

For the past few years we have been building Switchboard into the $2 Billion+ TVS protocol it is today. I could not be more thankful for the community that has grown around it and the appreciation that is felt from builders. Making data access simple and cheap on the blockchain.
📢 Switchboard Closes $7.5M Series A Round. We’re thrilled to announce a strategic raise, co-led by @tribecap and @Rockaway_X, with support from @SolanaFndn, @Aptos, @StarkWareLtd, and more. This investment accelerates our mission to supply permissionless and secure oracle

When you really want that @solana tx to go through. 1. Slim down requested computer units as much as possible .2. Use @heliuslabs priority fee api to estimate cost tolerance and needs.3. Send to multiple rpcs via @IronforgeCloud .4. Send a backup with a nonce account for.

@Crypto_wryta @solana 1. You say it is centralized. Can you quantify what the cost of an attack for a nation state would be relative to Ethereum?. 2. Eth stake is fairly concentrated to ~15 entities. You can argue client diversity here but I really want to be proven by numbers that an attack on SOL.

.@switchboardxyz is making TEE verifiable tooling for AI agents to prove legitimacy of agents. The number of agents we approach that are actively avoidant of this tooling really shows the number of legitimate AI agents is EXTREMELY small. This is a whole sector rug pull waiting.

12/15 Because @switchboardxyz is built on top of the Jito Restaking Protocol, all $SWTCH tokens can be linked to a liquid vault or a locked vault. Once staked, the vault issue a VRT (Vault Receipt Token). As such, the VRT is available to the user to participate in other protocol.

Users heavily under evaluate the level of current MEV exploitation possible. Many groups create dark pools to sandwich transactions on trades on most pairs. @ellipsis_labs is setting the bar here. Users need more awareness!.
Today we're releasing Plasma, a reference implementation of a sandwich-resistant AMM. Plasma is an application-layer solution to sandwich attacks, based on the design published on @UmbraResearch. Plasma is audited and source-available to help advance the development of more.

The rate of change in the crypto market is proving more and more that permissioned data layers are not a scalable solution. @switchboardxyz is designed to be a generic and easy to use data attestation layer. Switchboard already supports billions of dollars with its data layer.
