Why 2023 was the year of change and acceleration for me, and some lessons I learned along the way.
A "love letter" to
@solana
and the
@solana_devs
community.
Happy to announce that I will be joining
@metaplex
as a community developer! 👀
I’ll be doing my best to help push the NFT space forward with code example and new resources
If you’re working on NFTs, let’s connect! I would love to hear your feedback and how we can improve!
This is the new
@metaplex
Core Standard and I've spent the last 40h researching it.
Here's why I think it will revolutionize NFTs...
[Medium Article at the end 👀]
Imagine being one of the 76
@solana_devs
and not knowing how to use your local validator to test your program...
Well if that's your case, don't worry, I got you!
In this thread, we're going to explore what is the Local Validator and how it works!
🧵
Just won 2nd place in the 24h
@SuperteamDE
hackathon! 👀
Presented a composable way to align user and protocol incentives to eliminate mindless farmers. All of this leveraging the new
@metaplex
oracle plugin!

My first writing achievement unlocked
This week, the article I shared about Digital Assets was featured on
@coinmonks
, a big Crypto Educational Publication.
61k crypto readers will know about
@solana
,
@metaplex
Core and why they should choose them for their digital assets
🚨 NEW Intermediate Tutorial for Solana Developer just Dropped 🚨
Today we'll be talking about Instruction Introspection, a concept that provides the opportunity to chain different instruction while maintaining atomicity.

Who’s interested in a deeper analysis? 👀
A lot of people seemed very interested in learning about the Stake Program...
So here it is! The first official
@solanaturbine
research paper.

users can now directly engage with their favorite crypto dApps without leaving Twitter!
A thread! 🧵
Who writes the best Anchor programs?
Looking to create some content around a “standard” or “best practice” for new devs coming into the ecosystem.
Like saving bumps, passing both signer and payer (for PDAs signing), general structure…

We’re unfortunately at the last post of this series of threads deep-diving the new
@metaplex
Core Standard.
This is for you technical peeps, let’s talk about how to use Core in your Rust program. And you’ll be able to STEAL my staking example at the end!

@GlitchyMagic_
This sucks. I met him at BP and we talked a lot in the following days, I even helped him by suppling some code example that he wanted to use for the project that he rugged.
Web3 shouldn’t be about this, it should be about amazing technology and incredible builders
See you at

If you want to chat anything

Can't wait to ship some cool features on the island!

Finally decided to learn some "more formal and accademic" Rust after using it for over a year at this point.

If I did a “

And if yes, what do you want to see featured?
Yesterday, we deep-dived into Core's general capabilities and how the new

standard, optimized for NFTs, works.
Today, we’ll explore Core’s newly integrated “Plugin” feature!

They will need to learn about solana, wallets, token and everything else in the ecosystem.
This is how you onboard the “old” generation on solana!
6 months ago I started learning Solana as a complete noob to coding.
Today was my biggest milestone yet.
As a

Eternally Grateful to this space.
Just wrapped a simple example that showcases the new AppData Plugin from

I feel like this might be a game-changer for how we think about Tickets Events <> Blockchain Synergy and after the TicketMaster incident, we need a different solution asap
Ready to conquer Speedrun?
Starting today, we're hosting live broadcasts for the hackathon, featuring live coding sessions, idea exchanges with participants, and a firsthand look at Core in action.
Catch the first broadcast at 2 PM ET on 𝕏 🦾
Meeting new people and talking about

If we met either in Berlin or in London, I hope you had a great time! And don't be a stranger if you need anything!
Solana Summer is here and we are not stopping.
Last week, we celebrated the 4th of July, held Speedrun workshops in Berlin and Munich with

The Devrel space is still immature...
While we have many outstanding individual DevRels in the ecosystem, I feel like we're still lacking collective knowledge on what works and what doesn't.
We're lacking content that can boost the next generation of Devrel with awareness...
I understand this post is a bit long, but it's deeply important to me.
TLDR: I'm creating an outreach program centered around Solana and Blockchain technology, to help Young Italian Adults understand the power of this technology and maybe find their path.
Today, I'm reaching
My first contribution to an open source program on solana!
And it needed to be a

Bullish on the team, just started using it but it's such a flawless product that keeps me wanting to deposit more everytime I open it
Bullish on useful product and shippers

@solana_devs
, is there a fully open source solana marketplace?
I want to showcase how easier it is to interact with the new

If anyone has any alpha please share
Wait what?!?! Seems like I'll be learning (and writing) a lot more in the next months about

Very grateful for the opportunity! Let's see what this reserve!

I've managed to find everything I was looking for to create an example program but i'm missing the instruction that will let me change the "custodian" of a staking account.
Does anyone have any insight?

1/ Imagine running an entire event ticketing platform directly onchain.
With the AppData plugin, it’s not just possible—it’s simple.
Our new guide walks you through how to create secure, verifiable digital tickets using this new plugin.

Hey

I'm developing an outreach program in Italy to introduce high school students to Solana. I have a few concepts in mind, but I'm eager to get insights from both

What do you wish you had known about Solana at that age?
#OPOS
Gm Validators,
Doing a deep dive into the Vote Program and have some questions:
- How does `Lockout` work? And the `confirmation_count` field in particular
- Where do all the checks to see if the node is locked happen?
- Where does the validator decide the fork to vote on?
Conclusion:
Lots of Alpha was discussed in this AMA, but the energy and conviction of
@metasvibe
about the project was probably the biggest alpha.
I hope you liked this recap, and if you need some clarification leave a comment on this post
