The program offers early access to experimental features and applications that are shaping the next phase of the Solana ecosystem. Builders and users interested in participating can apply to join the tester group. Colosseum Alpha Testers 🚀 Launch on Solana The Launch on Solana initiative provides developers with a set of tools to build production-grade applications on Solana. The goal is to remove technical friction at critical layers of identity, payments, and onboarding, so founders can focus on product. The latest toolkits offer practical, modular components for wallets, commerce, and verifiable credentials: Kora: Enables fee abstraction and custom signing RPCs so that users may transact without needing to explicitly pay fees or manage transaction signing flows. CommerceKit: A drop‑in SDK allowing developers to accept Solana‑token payments on websites/apps with minimal code. Attestations: A permissionless protocol for verifiable credentials tied to wallet addresses that supports KYC, geographic checks, accreditation, and reputation. Solana Pay: An open-standard payments framework enabling instant settlement, negligible fees, and direct wallet‑to‑wallet payments. To explore each tool in detail and start building, visit the Launch on Solana hub for docs, examples, and integration guides. Launch on Solana 🗳️ Messari MetaDAO Report Messari’s latest research report explores MetaDAO’s evolution from a futarchy experiment to a full-fledged launchpad offering “unruggable ICOs.” MetaDAO’s platform allows founders to raise capital while ensuring enforceable tokenholder rights through onchain governance and legal structures. For builders, MetaDAO offers a unique alternative to traditional token launches. Instead of sending funds directly to teams, capital is managed via futarchy-based DAOs, where proposals govern spending. Founders must also transfer project IP to a legal entity governed by tokenholder votes, ensuring transparency. This is a free report from Messari Research, offering insights for teams considering a fair way to launch a token. MetaDAO Blockworks Research Report 📘 Solana’s Next Chapter A new report from Galaxy Research, Solana’s Next Chapter, explores how Solana has evolved from a high-speed blockchain to a platform for Internet-scale financial systems. Upgrades like Agave 3.0, Firedancer, and the consensus overhaul Alpenglow promise lower latency, faster finality (~150ms), and more reliable validator performance. Improvements in compute limits, runtime efficiency, and asynchronous execution reduce bottlenecks for building complex apps. Meanwhile, infrastructure enhancements like DoubleZero and Application-Controlled Execution (ACE) open new design space for custom market logic and low-latency transaction flows. Solana’s fee and application metrics are now leading across the industry, demonstrating that low-cost blockspace can offer builders predictable economics. As Solana moves closer to its vision of Internet Capital Markets, there's a real opportunity to build global-scale financial applications. Solana’s Next Chapter: Laying the Foundation of Internet Capital Markets 📃 Solana Constitution The Solana Constitution is a community-driven effort led by validators, stakers, and builders to formalize how governance operates on the Solana networkthat aims to establish a shared foundation for decision-making across the ecosystem. Two documents form the basis of this framework: The Solana Declaration: Outlines shared values and long-term objectives, such as permissionless access, user-centric design, open-source development, and economic alignment. The Solana Constitution: Defines the operational mechanics of governance. It introduces two proposal types: technical specifications (SIMDs) and governance proposals (SGPs), with different pathways for implementation and voting. The goal of this proposal is to codify roles and responsibilities for validators, stakers, and a Governance & Execution Council, and establishes parameters like quorum thresholds, vote windows, and override rights. A key emphasis is placed on transparency, staker sovereignty, and the ability to override validator votes if necessary. The draft documents remain open to feedback through a series of consultation events that will take place for the remainder of the year.

Tokenization is a 40 trillion tam. No bubble at all and crypto is how you must play it - Why I Believe Solana Is the Crypto to Own Now my price target for Solana is $1500 I would place calls or go long SOLZ And SOLT For me, crypto isn’t just about cycles or gas—it’s about infrastructure. Specifically, it’s about tokenization. And in that light, I believe Solana is the crypto you should be buying now. Solana scores a perfect 6 on the infrastructure scorecard I use: Throughput: ~3 billion transactions per month Cost: ~$0.00025 per transaction Yield: ~6–8% staking yield + MEV tips Finality: ~150 milliseconds Composability: mobile-native, smart contracts Execution: phones, payments, apps Solana isn’t just programmable—it’s economically generative. It isn’t just fast—it’s sovereign infrastructure. Bitcoin, in my view, is inert. It stores value but doesn’t generate it. Ethereum is modular but fragmented, with Layer 2s capturing most of the value. Solana, by contrast, absorbs real-world executionnand feeds it back into validator yield. So while cycles may persist, I believe the time to add Solana is now. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the layer the programmable economy runs on. Crypto Infrastructure Scorecard Throughput Bitcoin: ~290K/month Ethereum: ~33M/month Ripple (XRP): ~1B+/month Solana: ~3B+/month Cost Efficiency Bitcoin: ❌ ~$17/tx Ethereum: ❌ ~$2.91/tx Ripple (XRP): ✅ ~$0.0001/tx Solana: ✅✅ ~$0.00025/tx Yield Mechanics Bitcoin: ❌ None Ethereum: ✅ ~2.8% staking Ripple (XRP): ❌ None Solana: ✅✅ ~6–8% staking + MEV Finality Speed Bitcoin: ❌ ~60 minutes Ethereum: ❌ ~15 minutes Ripple (XRP): ✅ ~3–5 seconds Solana: ✅✅ ~150 milliseconds Composability Bitcoin: ❌ No smart contracts Ethereum: ✅ Modular, fragmented Ripple (XRP): ❌ Limited programmability Solana: ✅✅ Fully programmable, mobile-native Real-World Execution & Value Proposition Bitcoin: ❌ Store of value only Ethereum: ✅ Toolkit for apps, store of value with utility and yield Ripple (XRP): ✅ Settlement-grade payments Solana: ✅✅ Phones, payments, apps, store of value with utility and yield Final Scores - Solana: 6/6 - Bitcoin: 0/6 - Ethereum: 3/6 - Ripple (XRP): 3/6 This isn’t just a scorecard—it’s a classification framework. Solana isn’t a speculative asset. It’s absorbed infrastructure—economically generative, sovereign, and already in motion. So when I say it’s time to add, I’m thinking in terms of Solana. submitted by /u/Salt_Yak_3866 [link] [comments]

Hi Solana Readers: According to my analysis it should have already been done(Crossing 200BUSD mcap).What do you think are major reasons for not doing so and when should we expect it to happen ? Thanks submitted by /u/Unlucky_System_7276 [link] [comments]

So long story short, I was recommended to use a copy trading bot by someone online. I threw 100$ in it and said what the hell. Apparently it’s now grown to over 20k, but the 5% fee needs to paid separately, and not taken out of the profits themselves. Seems like an obvious scam to me? Just wanted to check with people who may have been through this before, on the off chance this is something that actually happens and is real. submitted by /u/AwrightFL [link] [comments]

Its time to go long- the crypto reset is over If you are a Solana fan go long or calls on SOLZ and SOLT Solana is the chain built for a $16T+ future. ​ My $1500 target is driven by three core fundamentals: ​Real-World Assets (RWA): Solana's speed and ultra-low fees enable the flawless execution of RWA tokenization, attracting massive institutional capital and volume. ​Decentralization & Utility: High staking yields and a strong Nakamoto Coefficient (NC \approx 20) confirm robust security and growing decentralization, outshining key competitors. ​Performance: Solana offers the necessary utility and throughput to absorb global financial traffic. It is decentralized enough to capture the market. ​$SOL is the engine for global tokenized finance. submitted by /u/Salt_Yak_3866 [link] [comments]

Phantom Wallet has become the dominant retail gateway, hitting 15 million users. This hyper-adoption, while positive for network usage, creates an enormous, fragile attack surface that shifts liability from the protocol to millions of novice self-custody users. The core conviction is that low fees and great UX are worthless if retail security is compromised. 1) Retail Attack Surface: The success of Phantom necessitates self-custody for 15M users, vastly broadening the attack surface. Chainalysis reports a 40% YTD increase in phishing and scam activities targeting retail portfolios. 2) The Address Poisoning Threat: Sophisticated criminal enterprises are leveraging AI for address poisoning, a technique that deceives users by making subtle changes to transaction addresses in their wallet history. This saw growth exceeding 15,000% in 2024. 3) On-Chain Contradiction: While Phantom adoption soars, underlying network health shows signs of contraction: active addresses plummeted from 33.6M to 8.04 million. This suggests valuation relies on speculative momentum rather than sustained organic usage. The regulatory friction forces retail into self-custody platforms. Is the solution to mandate advanced wallet security and fraud detection for all major exchanges, or does the 15 million-user base inherently create an unmanageable systemic cyber risk? submitted by /u/Narrow_Chance7639 [link] [comments]

In case you missed it last week BlackRock quietly increased its Solana exposure through the BUIDL fund, bringing total assets under management on Solana to roughly $250 million (source). At the same time, liquidation heatmaps show very few liquidation levels remaining below current prices, meaning most long positions have already been flushed out. The liquidity is now stacked upwards, typically the kind of setup that precedes a bullish reversal. What do you all think is this the early signal of an uptrend, or just a temporary bounce? https://preview.redd.it/307uex8zw2zf1.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&s=cea2f561bf0539e051b4502a8f00f3b3005ba9e9 submitted by /u/HaussmannCoyote [link] [comments]

Was reflecting on how much the Solana developer/tool landscape has matured since 2021-2022. We went from "Ethereum killer hype" through the FTX collapse to... actually just building useful stuff. What's changed: 2021: Hype cycle, network instability, limited tooling 2022-2023: Bear market, FTX fallout, lots of projects went quiet 2024-2025: Ecosystem that just works - fast, cheap, and developer-friendly Tools that prove this: The quality gap between Solana tools now vs. 2021 is massive: Wallet infrastructure stable (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare) Multi-chain platforms treating SOL as first-class (not afterthought) Transaction reliability actually consistent Example: Banana Pro started as Telegram bot, now it's a polished cross-chain platform. The Solana implementation is genuinely smoother than EVM chains - faster confirmations, lower friction, better UX. This means that projects building on Solana aren't doing it for hype anymore. They're doing it because the infrastructure is legitimately better for certain use cases - payments, NFTs, DeFi with high throughput. The narrative shifted from "can Solana survive?" to "what can we build that wasn't possible before?" Observation: Networks that survive bear markets come out stronger. Solana's at that phase where builders who stuck around are shipping quality products, not just riding waves. What Solana-native tools/projects have impressed you lately? Curious what people are building that flew under the radar. submitted by /u/fsfdanny [link] [comments]

Hey guys, I’m planning to borrow against my SOL as collateral and rotate some of that into SOL ETFs once they’re live. The reason of doing this is I get brokerage exposure while still keeping on-chain exposure intact. Here’s the strategy I’m leaning toward: Split the stack roughly 50/50: half stays on-chain (staking, yield) and half goes into brokerage ETFs (for the same underlying asset, but different risk-layer), and using probably Nexo to manage the on-chain half. For the brokerage half I'll use T212 and IBKR to get the fallback of traditional access/liquidity, so not all my eggs are in the same basket. I would want to ask you guys, how are you splitting your exposure, and which brokerage ETF are you eyeing first, the stacking or the normal ones? submitted by /u/Elly0xCrypto [link] [comments]

Been putting a chunk of my retirement into Solana Defi for 3 years now. Traditional Investors for 15+ years but the yields here are just better. Then i ad this random thought - what if my kids have 0 clue how to access this when I'm old?? with stocks there's a brokerage and a phone no. With Solana? Seed phrases and protocol names. My son forgets his instagram password weekly. I keep it simple - Kamino mostly, Asgard when I am optimising. Got a notebook with instructions like its a treasure map. Am i overthinking this or does anyone else worrying about explaining "how to access liquidity pool" to their kids someday? submitted by /u/yj292 [link] [comments]

Hey r/solana and r/Web3 folks, I'm the dev behind Tributary – we built it as a protocol to fix the recurring payment problem in Web3. On Solana, users can sign once to set up automated payments without locking funds (non-custodial delegation). We put together the MVP in 3 weeks for #Colosseum #Cypherpunk,, and now it's live on Mainnet. Key Features: Non-Custodial: Funds stay in your wallet, no lock-up. One Signature: Delegate once, payments flow automatically. Multi-Token Support: Works with USDC, SOL, any SPL token. Developer-Friendly: TypeScript SDK, React components, full docs. The big win is Web2-like UX: no more manual approvals killing conversions. Funds stay in wallets, payments happen automatically. Anyone building on Solana interested in adding subscriptions? We'd love feedback or integrations. Demo Pitch: https://youtu.be/HwulPezwCSQ Tech Pitch: https://youtu.be/94tAF2PvMpw submitted by /u/xeroc [link] [comments]
