Joined March 2010
Excited to be continuing the work I began @solanalabs with @anza_xyz 🪨. I have the honor to work with the same world-class engineers and ecosystem teams across Solana. Best job. Best company. Best blockchain.

Criticism of Solana's "centralization" is often misplaced by its critics. But make no mistake: Solana has a real problem. I love Solana. I love its architecture, I love working on it, and I love being part of its community. Here, in the spirit of this love and a desire to fix.

This demo got the attention of people interested in the future of crypto payments. I'm going to analyze the smoke and mirrors it contains, and compare it with Solana Pay. Let's start with the video, then pull in more detail from documentation and related sources ☕️.
Welcome to the coffee shop of the future, where USDC payments are instant and gas-free with Coinbase Wallet. And where customers order seamlessly via messaging, powered by @XMTP_.

@memeticsisyphus The issue that I’ve experienced is that if you work from home, (some) women often interrupt, and regard you as being constantly available to provide them with help and attention. They don’t regard it as real work because they can see you’re “just” on a computer or talking calls.

@brian_armstrong Hey Brian! I would love to work with your team to support Solana Pay in Coinbase Wallet. It's an open source protocol that adds a lot of power and flexibility to the demo you show here. You can use it to specify payment amounts, messages, and even entire Solana transactions.

Here's my quick take on Solana Blinks / Actions --. When I was working on the Solana Pay protocol, it quickly became clear to me that payments would not be the most interesting thing people could do with it. I'm proud of @jnwng and @nickfrosty for pushing web3 UX forward.

Yes. Simple thesis on @MadLadsNFT --. The team are @solana OGs. They were builders long before they made JPEGs. They'll be builders long after. The community is real. The art is incredible. We are one.
I've never seen so many hardcore @solana devs rep an NFT PFP. Did @MadLadsNFT just bridge the gap?.

What you create with Solana Pay is more important than Solana Pay. Bring the next wave of new users to crypto. Build with us!.
Anon are you passionate about small biz and digital ownership? We're getting lots of demand to take our POS beyond a demo. We’re looking for people or teams to take it and run with it. If that’s you DM me or hit us up in the solana-pay channel on the Solana Discord!.

@brian_armstrong You know you can just fork Solana Pay, change anything, and call it whatever you want, right? It's open source, I'll even help you. But none of this matters unless we can solve consumer incentives, privacy, credit, and UX. No one needs a worse version of Apple Pay.

The Wallet Standard is catching fire 🔥. @brave Wallet is the latest to add support for it on Solana (pending release across desktop, Android, and iOS). This means that Brave will work for Solana dapps. On any platform, with no adapter, and no changes required from dapps. 🦁

Solana closed source shame list. List of closed source programs, ranked by TVL. Multiple programs associated with a protocol can be grouped. Bonus points if program is still upgradable. Indication with score (like validators dot app) in wallets if a tx calls one of the programs.

This is a special moment for me. SPL Lending was the first project I worked on for Solana, learning Rust from @jstrry. It went on to become @solendprotocol, the number one DeFi app on Solana. Today, Solend is the first to support the Wallet Standard and Mobile Wallet Adapter.

"there is an insane amount of work left to do to scale Ethereum, this combined effort will be massive and cost 10s of billions". Solana is already more capable and scalable than Ethereum and L2s combined, and cost a lot less than 10b. How much would it cost to just use Solana?

@0xrooter Dysfunctional founding Labs and Foundation orgs. Too much decentralization too early. Overly focused on devs and connecting chains without regard to what users want. No smart contracts, every app has to build a blockchain. Late to DeFi and other trends, bad at narrative.

Fock it. #NewProfilePicture. I was working concessions at a theater when Kill Bill came out. Minimum wage, soaked in popcorn butter, and the only perk was getting to see movies early and often. I must have watched it ten times. Feels like owning a piece of history, old and new.

How to understand @Solanamobile Saga / SMS:. Some things can be done today in apps with protocols + SDKs. Mobile wallet adapter with Chrome, Solana Pay in apps. Other things can only be done with OS / firmware support. Seed vault, dapp store, native payment UX. Game changer.

One of the things Ethereum has done a great job of is cultivating open source contributions. What can Solana Labs and Foundation devs do to make contributing to Solana easier?. What are we not doing well at right now? Please tell me about your experiences (positive and negative).

Airdrops are overindexed. What the industry needs is more innovation in drop types. - Earthdrop (bury tokens and dig them up).- Waterdrop (hold breath to get tokens).- Firedrop (burn tokens to get tokens). What else are we missing.

I've been at @solanalabs for 1 year, 9 months. It's been an incredible time, full of ups and downs. I've learned so much, and feel like I've been able to make a difference in the small parts of Solana I touch. I'm thankful for @baalazamon and @jstrry, for giving me this chance.

Next year I want to work ~1 day a week with different @solana ecosystem projects on whatever they need help with. Kinda like the Google 20% time thing. Not paid by them, just to learn about and improve products. There's a lot of low hanging fruit in frontend perf especially.

Increasingly obvious that Ethereum was more early than good. The design of the EVM is the best evidence of this. Distributed systems engineers arrived later, but they've changed the game. 1. Account abstraction (ERC-4337 et al) is a poorly designed solution to a problem that
ETH is just sitting on account based abstraction, liquid staking derivatives, liquidity depth, familiarity to true whales who take years to develop a thesis, + the fact it's dev community is 10x anything in crypto. Fade it all you want but the return of the Jedi is coming.

A few simple tips for Solana devs to improve your transaction land rate with web3.js (all important, but the third tip is critical). 1. Call getLatestBlockhashAndContext with these options:. commitment: "confirmed". to get blockhash, lastValidBlockHeight, and context.slot. ⬇️.

🚨 SOLLET SCAM ALERT 🚨. @solletapp IS a scam, and WILL steal your seed phrase if you create or import one. Sollet died with FTX and should not be used at all. Do not use sollet[.]io, solletapp[.]io, the Sollet extension, or anything having to do with Sollet.

Solana has always had culture and SBF never had an iron grip. I know this because I've been here for almost 3 years working on it with my friends. Just because it looks cool to you now doesn't mean it's ever been uncool to be here. Try to leave your priors at the door. Welcome.
Solana really started developing a culture when SBF fell and his cronies lost their iron grip over it. True communities are forged in the pressures of Abyss not on the comfortably low gravity of the Moon.

It was wonderful to see so many new and familiar faces building on @solana at the Austin @hackerhouses event this week. There are important changes coming to wallets and the Wallet Adapter library. Wallets can and should work better for users and apps on Solana --.

Ryan, you've made some version of this post so many times, and it reflects sadly upon your own intellect and your drive to learn and create things for yourself. Becoming more informed about Solana continues to elude you, and it's because you start with a narrative about Ethereum.
Many people know that Solana is actually quite centralized, both operationally and in terms of L1 design. And almost everybody knows that Solana rapidly copies Ethereum's successful products and inventions, as is everyone's right. But almost nobody realizes that Solana's.

While it's natural for Solana people to get irked by bad takes from Evan van Ness, Sandeep, Coindesk, and Bankless. Raging against them on Twitter may feel good but is insular and ineffective. Elevating and honing voices within Solana that match their reach is the only way.

It is easier to run a 4 minute mile than to get someone @coinbase to type "Solana".
4/ Customers can use any self-custody EVM wallet to pay. The fastest checkout is with any native asset or ERC-20 (including Wrapped Bitcoin) on L2s. Customers can also pay with any asset in their Coinbase account (including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Doge).

In the time it takes Polygon to switch one block producer, Solana goes through 80. (2000ms Polygon block time) * (64 blocks) / (400ms Solana block time) * (4 blocks) = 80 leaders. Let that sink in.

Lightning Network in shambles.
Changed around some code on the #SolanaPay to include BTC as the means of payment. This runs on SPL but my hopes is to mess around with the Octane repo and see if I can mess with the tx fees. @jordaaash such a dope project

I'm coming to appreciate the properties of Solana's transaction structure more and more. Explicit instructions with explicit account and data requirements push complexity into clients. This can produce a lot of boilerplate and you end up writing more TypeScript than Rust. 1/2.

Solana is the fastest chain. But it can be, it must be, the most welcoming chain. I love that people are feeling that sense of welcome right now. WAO.

Solana Pay will soon be faster and support almost any transaction that's possible on Solana. NFTs, swaps, borrow lending, and so much more. And credit cards will still just be credit cards. Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

I'm optimistic that @stripe's support for crypto won't go the way of Starbucks, Reddit, Robinhood, Instagram, et al. 1. Highly visible support from top executives.2. Earlier in the cycle than we typically see weak plays.3. Stripe has been working on this for a long time.
