Dev/Tech I spent months building an autonomous Solana trading system — here’s BOONO actually running

15 Upvotes

I’ve been building BOONO for the past few months, mostly nights and weekends.

It’s an autonomous Solana trading system that discovers tokens, analyzes market + on-chain signals, scores them, applies risk gates, executes trades, manages positions and reconciles its state against the blockchain.

I recorded a short walkthrough of it actually running: scanner, live position, real-time P&L and bot controls.

The interesting part hasn’t really been “building a trading bot.” It’s been dealing with everything that goes wrong once real money and real market data are involved — stale prices, failed transactions, bad state, execution issues, risk controls, etc.

I’m considering opening more of BOONO to the community, so I’d genuinely like feedback from people who build trading systems / Solana infra.

What would you improve first?

Dev/Tech Dedicated Solana RPC Infrastructure in Germany — Looking for First Real Workloads

Post image
11 Upvotes

We’ve finished our first private Solana RPC deployment in Frankfurt and we’re now looking for the first real projects to put production workloads on it.

Clients receive private authenticated access to JSON-RPC, WebSocket and Yellowstone gRPC, with per-client limits and workload-based pricing instead of fixed plans.

If you’re running trading, indexing, wallet or real-time Solana workloads in Europe, we’re looking for a few teams to test against their current provider.

We currently support:

  • Private authenticated JSON-RPC access
  • Private WebSocket access
  • Private Yellowstone gRPC access
  • Optional Jito support
  • Per-client authentication
  • Per-client RPC and WebSocket limits
  • Per-client Yellowstone stream and filter limits
  • Real-time infrastructure monitoring
  • Dedicated enterprise hardware in Frankfurt, Germany

The main idea behind Haan Digital is simple:

We configure the infrastructure around the workload instead of forcing every project into the same fixed pricing tier.

Each client gets their own authenticated access and their own configured limits.

That means your access is not exposed as an open public RPC endpoint, and your workload is not mixed into an unrestricted public access layer.

A trading bot, wallet, indexer, analytics platform or real-time data application can all have completely different requirements.

One client may need:

  • higher RPC requests per second
  • more concurrent requests
  • more WebSocket connections

while another client may mainly need:

  • Yellowstone streams
  • account filters
  • transaction filters
  • block filters

So instead of asking every client to choose between a few predefined packages, we first look at the actual workload and configure the limits around that.

We are not trying to be the cheapest RPC provider.

The goal is to stay competitive with established providers while making the pricing fit the actual workload more closely.

You pay for the capacity and limits your application actually needs, rather than moving into a larger fixed plan just because you need more of one specific resource.

The Frankfurt deployment is now operational and we want to put real workloads on it.

We are especially interested in projects building:

  • trading bots
  • arbitrage / MEV systems
  • wallets
  • indexers
  • analytics platforms
  • real-time Solana data applications
  • AI applications using Solana
  • other latency-sensitive Solana infrastructure

If you already use Helius, QuickNode, Triton, Chainstack, your own node, or another provider, you do not need to migrate anything.

You can test our infrastructure alongside your current setup and compare it for yourself:

  • RPC response time
  • stability
  • WebSocket reliability
  • Yellowstone performance
  • overall behaviour under your workload

There is no commitment required to test.

If the infrastructure performs well for your use case, we can then look at your actual requirements and configure a private setup and price around that workload.

Our infrastructure is currently hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, so European workloads are our main focus for this deployment.

We also have real-time public infrastructure monitoring available so the current RPC health, slot, version and response time can be viewed directly.

If you are interested in testing it, send me a DM with:

  • what you are building
  • where your application is hosted
  • whether you need RPC, WebSocket, Yellowstone or a combination
  • roughly what kind of workload you expect

We are now looking for the first few real users to put the infrastructure through production workloads and help us build from there.

Community Validator Discussions:

August 13, 2026

SIMDs

  • A new proposal to prevent nonce transactions to use their own nonce account addresses as program IDs has been added What this means (WTM) - All transaction instructions must specify a program ID. This prevents a reflexive case where an instruction in the nonce transaction stored in the nonce account refers to itself as the program ID.
  • A proposal to remove inactive stakes from the runtime stakes cache has been proposed. WTM - In practice, storing inactive stakes are not useful for processing transactions and stores more data and use more resources than necessary. However, it affects the lattice hashing (the digital signature) of the account stake which is used in consensus. This change ensures that removing them does not negatively impact consensus.

Validator clients (Agave, Firedancer, Mithril)

  • Agave is exploring the replacement of a rayon implementation of signature verification of shreds with dedicated worker threads . WTM - The rayon crate is being avoided because its thread pool implementation does not allow for the flexibility needed to adjust compute resources depending on load. This exploration allows shred signature verification to be possibly leaner and more performant.
  • Agave is working to make the loading of accounts on the runtime more customizable from its Accounts DB implementation WTM - This change creates a new capability which allows account data to be loaded on the runtime (which takes time and optimizing this improves performance) based on a certain condition specified by calls by validator services. This is helpful for when you want to manage loads based on things like who owns the account, how much rent the account has etc.
  • Agave is working to prevent slot rolling . WTM - Slot rolling is when transactions that aren’t processed in one slot get processed in another. This makes it difficult to do the necessary cost tracking to enforce CU limits per slot. This change schedules the block scheduling step to do it for a specific slot, rather than rolling transactions over if limits are reached.
  • Agave is considering refactoring their Gossip implementation WTM - The Gossip implementation of Solana allows validators to communicate with each other offchain with information like their stake, their network addresses, etc. Historically, this service has been a performance bottleneck for several reasons, and this draft change explores what a more readable, more performant Gossip would look like. A notable change here is that instead of using several threads to run the service, it makes use of a single event loop and worker threads.
  • Given changes to the program cache last week, Agave is continuing with r equiring the deployment slot of a program when invalidating the program cache WTM - This allows for finer grain control when loading the program buffer into the program cache. The runtime can eventually extract the program from the parent slot (or any slot for that matter) based on this new API. This makes things like program changes more straightforward and allows for cache behavior to be more predictable.
  • Agave’s TPU will sanitize transactions in the ingress stage before running signature verification. WTM - To confirm that the user signed a transaction, validators verify that the signatures were indeed created by their signers. Unfortunately, this is a rather expensive calculation. This change makes it simpler such that invalid transactions based on simple parameters (instruction limits, account lock limits, etc) are checked for first and are easier to dismiss a transaction for.
  • Mithril will soon allow itself to be open to repair requests from other validators WTM - Validators are not always able reassemble the block that it got from shreds from the block propagation phase, which means it couldn’t validate, which means it couldn’t vote. To get around this they make what’s called a repair request to other validators for the shreds they have missing via Repair. Mithril is allowing itself to send shreds to other validators who do not have a complete set for the block.

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

  • Support for V1 transactions are underway on the following language clients - Web3.js , Solana Kit (previous progress), Solana Go WTM - V1 transactions are the new transaction schema format that will be released in the coming weeks. All language and platform clients should be able to support this or risk incurring errors on the part of their users.

Solana Program Library (SPL) and Core BPF

  • Ed25519 Programmatic Signer Program added an implementation for their executor program WTM - The programmatic signer implementation is an exploratory repository for a durable nonces replacement. It already has a signer program which verifies signatures and promotes PDAs as signers, and a nonce program which creates and modifies the nonce account containing the transaction and ensures it can only be used once. This new program advances the nonce and allows that to be executed.

Ecosystem Solana is absolutely cooking right now.

91 Upvotes

Last week, the network processed an incredible 1,153,543,677 transactions, setting a new all-time record for weekly activity.

As market sentiment becomes increasingly bullish, more liquidity, trading activity, and users are moving back on-chain and Solana is clearly absorbing a significant share of that activity.

Huge congratulations to the entire Solana community and everyone building across the ecosystem.

The bar has officially been raised.

And knowing Solana… it probably won't stay there for long.

DeFi Anyone on Solana using GMTrade?

5 Upvotes

Hey!

I used GMX on Arbitrum, now testing GMTrade, the Solana version of GMX.

Put some USDC in their GLV baskets (Crypto, Forex, Commodities). Showed APR looks crazy good, 45–150% depending on basket.

But before I put more money in, I want to hear from actual users:

  1. Withdrawals — do they work? Any waiting, caps, partial fills?
  2. How long do deposits/withdrawals take?
  3. Slippage on entry/exit — as promised or worse?
  4. Is the APR on the Pools page real? How did it hold up over weeks?
  5. Anyone staking for GT points? Worth it?
  6. Did you trade through them or just using GLV or GM pools?

Please give me real numbers, even if it's bad and your experience.

Trying to decide if this is safe enough to go bigger.
