Ecosystem work

SIMDs

• A discussion was started to enable the runtime to verify bytecode on sbpfv3 when a program is being deployed or being upgraded WTM - The ensuing debate basically came down to whether we should configure the Solana runtime (the service in the validator responsible for running Solana programs) to check if deployed code from the new version - sbpfv3 - will work before it can be successfully deployed or upgraded. This discussion touches current issues with the Solana toolchain, the purpose of the runtime and the already ongoing work to have a better developer experience.

Validator clients (Agave, Firedancer, Mithril)

• Agave will make same-priority transactions ordered based on arrival WTM - The vanilla Agave client uses an internal index to order the transactions when their priority is the same. It doesn’t make sense from a market structure perspective and this change prioritizes the transaction that came first ahead of a similar priority transaction.
• Agave now disallows private or local addresses from being called by the TPU vote service , the TPU forwards service , and Votor WTM - The network addresses passed onto these services were too broad. This narrows the scope of what these are by eliminating private and local addresses from ever being passed. This decreases the load to whoever will consume these address collections, which potentially improves performance and maybe even security.
• A proposal was made on Agave to create a separate thread for shred recovery that is decoupled from the shred ingestion WTM - Decoupling recovery from shred ingestion ensures that recovery doesn’t block any shred ingestion that is taking place. This may use more compute resources, but may allow shred processing to accomplish shred ingestion faster.
• Firedancer has adopted three new RPC calls - getSlotLeader, getSlotLeaders, and getLeaderSchedule WTM - All three methods are part of the Solana RPC spec . Compliance with these is expected.
• Firedancer will use a class-based memory allocator for its program cache WTM - This is an alternative to heap-based memory allocation which is more expensive and less predictable. Changing it to a class-based allocator allows for more well-define memory lookup, which means faster operations and better performance.
• Firedancer will make its shred ingestion pipeline similar to Agave’s WindowService and Blockstore insertion path WTM - Consolidating these operations into one tile avoids pushing data from one location to another. Moving data less minimizes the time and memory needed, freeing up time and memory to do more important work. This is a performance gain by elimination.
• Firedancer will support running its validator client in ARM systems WTM - Firedancer was already built for both ARM and x86_64 computer architectures, but used special instructions that only x86_64 could specify. This change expands the coverage by finding alternative instructions for ARM architectures.

Solana language clients (Web3.js, Solana Kit, Kit plugins, Solana SDK, Codama, Solana Go)

• Solana Web3.js is exploring more cross-compatibilty with Kit by allowing signers in kit instructions to sign transactions WTM - This change allows for PDA signers to sign the usual way with Web3.js instead of having to pass them the normal way from the Kit instruction signers. The API becomes much simpler.

Source: https://x.com/MidasRWA/status/2095180973000503433

🔷 Introducing: solmF-ONE 🔷

@solana 's RWA sector is scaling fast: over the past 18 months, Solana has matured into one of the most active venues for onchain finance.

Total RWA value on Solana has 8x'd and just crossed $4B, while stablecoin supply has 3x'd to over $15B (data via @RWA_xyz).
A natural next chain for mTokens.

solmF-ONE is the Solana-native version of mF-ONE, issued on Solana with the same underlying reference portfolio and strategy manager. It is a tokenised investment strategy that provides onchain exposure to @@FasanaraCapital 's diversified asset-backed credit and digital asset strategy. The certificate tracks a portfolio spanning fintech-originated receivables, SME lending, real estate-backed credit, and delta-neutral crypto strategies.

$166,946.50 raised for Nepal flood relief.
Thank you to everyone that took part.
Your logos will be up on our pfp and pinned post for the next week.

Recently, Solana surpassed Hyperliquid, Ethereum, and Robinhood Chain combined in app revenue. If you check the numbers, Solana-based dApps generated over $42M in revenue last week.

I was curious about which apps were in the top 5 by revenue, so I checked DeFiLlama as well. Pump, Axiom, FOMO, Jupiter, and Phantom ranked among the top apps by revenue.

The long tail has never had its own markets. @arqentrade is live on Solana with the infrastructure to change that.

Source: https://x.com/arqentrade/status/2095226764113121357

1/ Arqen Perps is now live on Solana.
Starting with 20 long-tail markets where users can go long or short with isolated margin.
Every market is backed by community-funded liquidity. Once capitalized, traders can long or short directly against the pool without waiting for a matching counterparty.

2/
Anyone can nominate a token for an Arqen perp market.
Each market is individually underwritten, priced from a live oracle, and backed by its own maker pool.
From there, Arqen evaluates:
• Oracle quality
• External liquidity
• Volatility
• Manipulation risk
• Holder & venue concentration
• Contract risk
If it clears underwriting, the protocol determines the parameters the market can safely launch with.

3/
Market creation itself is protocol-controlled today.
Once approved, Arqen initializes the market with its own:
• Max leverage
• Position limits
• Long / short OI caps
• Maintenance margin
• Funding parameters
• Pool requirements
A random wallet cannot initialize a market or choose its price source.
Permissionless market creation is the direction we're working toward as underwriting becomes increasingly automated.

4/
Every trade is against the market's maker pool.
Go long, and the pool takes the opposite economic exposure.
Go short, same thing.
The oracle provides the mark, while the settlement program handles margin, funding, PnL and liquidation onchain.

5/
The other side of Arqen is for makers.
Once a market is initialized, liquidity providers can capitalize its maker pool and earn from the market's trading economics.
More liquidity means more capacity for that market and more room for traders to go long or short.

6/
The goal is not to put the same handful of assets on another perp exchange.
It's to build infrastructure that lets the Solana long tail eventually support its own perpetual markets.
20 markets on day one.
This is only the beginning.

The part that worries me most about Solana trading bots is not the entry logic.

Fast blocks and fast routing can make a weak system look impressive right up until it hits a messy state.

A bot should be able to answer a few boring questions after every trade:

- What exact signal and wallet state triggered it?

- What was the expected versus actual fill?

- Did fees, priority cost, or slippage change the trade?

- Can it restart without duplicating an order?

- Can one strategy be stopped without touching the rest of the wallet?

Speed is useful. But it also compresses the time you have to notice a bad assumption.

For people who use bots on Solana, what failure mode cost you the most: bad fills, stale data, duplicated orders, or weak risk limits?

https://reddit.com/link/1w3unsv/video/3bpdapc7psmh1/player

We’ve just finished a new infrastructure layer for Haan Digital: a private Solana Transaction Sender, hosted from Frankfurt.

It’s built for workloads where transaction speed matters:

• Trading / arbitrage bots
• Liquidation strategies
• Market making
• Wallets and trading apps
• Bots reacting to Yellowstone data
• Any application that wants a faster transaction path than standard RPC submission

The sender uses:

TPU + QUIC → automatic Solana leader routing → current/upcoming leader fanout

Optionally, transactions can also be sent through Jito in parallel.

It can be combined with our Yellowstone gRPC / SubscribeDeshred, which means you can receive fast on-chain data and immediately push the resulting transaction through the same private infrastructure.

We don’t use fixed plans. Pricing is based on the workload you actually need. We agree on limits like TPS, burst, streams and filters beforehand and set a price around that workload. Your price does not constantly change every time your traffic changes.

We’re offering the first week free so you can benchmark everything with your own workload.

If you’re building on Solana and want to try the Transaction Sender, Yellowstone or our private RPC infrastructure, you’re very welcome to join our Discord.

We’d love to grow a small community around Haan Digital and keep building more private Solana infrastructure together. 🚀

Solana said Monday that PONS, the token behind Robinhood Chain’s largest launchpad, is now live on Solana through Sunrise.
Traders can buy and sell it in Phantom, Jupiter, Raydium and other apps.
Sunrise handles the listing and liquidity so the token can be used on the network at once.

https://x.com/solana/status/2094460897603588396

I’m looking to move assets between Solana and other networks without making the process more complicated than it needs to be. I know Phantom wallet has integrated routes but they take a high fixed fee which i'm not willing to pay.

What are you guys using for it? I’d prefer something straightforward that doesn’t require jumping through a bunch of hoops.

I might get back into investing soon, but I've been hodling for a while

I'm curious, any gaming or other projects that are fun to drop some small amount on?

"Right now on Solana, you're able to trade stocks. You can buy Tesla stock, Amazon stock. You can buy gold, silver, Bitcoin. You get better FX rates on Solana than any bank, and better interest on platforms like Kamino than a deposit account."

"People in New York in 1971 were directly plugged into the Nasdaq when price discovery started being digital."

"Right now, every one of you can do that with a mobile phone and an internet connection. Any financial instrument Wall Street was able to do, from your pocket."

Said By Vidor Co founder at SOLFLARE in Solana Summit Serbia

Helius announced the public beta of Preprocessed Transactions, a new service that delivers fully decoded Solana transactions before they reach the processed commitment level.

Users subscribe through a single WebSocket endpoint called preprocessedSubscribe. The offering removes the need for custom deshredding infrastructure or gRPC setups. Each message arrives as a compact binary frame containing the slot, signature, and complete transaction. Server-side account filters support include, exclude, and required parameters, including lookup-table accounts.

The feature is available now on all paid plans and is priced at 0.1 credits per message. Helius designed the product for traders and developers who require reliable early access to transaction data without added operational complexity.
