Last week was my last week at Consensys. Today is my first day at @anza_xyz.
I’m taking my talents to Solana.
In my first 100 days, I plan on writing a spec for as much of the Solana protocol as I can get to, prioritizing fee markets and consensus implementations where I
- Make no mistake, the Solana of the ore era (march 2024) could not have handled this launch gracefully. The degree to which Solana knocked it out of the park on a technical level last night is astonishing. So much progress in just 9 months and we are just getting started. IBRL
- One precision tactical strike on (52.3675,4.9041) in Amsterdam and bye bye Solana. This is what we mean by ETH needs to be in war mode. The ticker is ETH
- Today was a resounding success for the Solana Blockchain and a vindication of the idea that you don't need a modular aproach to scale. Work done by @anza @jump_firedancer @triton_one @heliuslabs @phantom and all of the other infrastructure providers working to make Solana the #1
- I'm tired of Ethereum Losing to Solana. I want us to start winning again. But that means we need to start playing our game, not theirs. Apple doesn't compete on price with 100$ Chinese androids. They compete on quality. They simply build better products that people want to use.
- Today marks the end of the first major arc for Solana. Through all of the trials, Solana persisted, fixed the bugs, built the tools — and the apps that used those tools to bring value to end users. Now Solana has been accepted into the most exclusive private club in the word: US
- I think you got it wrong. I abandoned Ethereum And Ethereum became irrelevant I’m having much higher impact now in Solana than I ever had on Ethereum because people here listen ideas and are open to change. With or without me, the Solana protocol in 2 years will beMax resnick abandoned Ethereum And became irrelevant I’m not saying Ethereum is perfect. But it’s the only SC layer that matters.
- Me moving from ETH to SOL lowered the average IQ in both ecosystems.
- No amount of meme coin grifting will change the fact that Solana has been technically headed in the right direction for years and continues to make incremental progress every day. Yesterday we found some potential performance improvements in Agave turbine tree construction:
- Uniswap founder discovers that lower fee pools have higher volume 😂.Wow the top Uniswap pool across all chains is a new custom fee (0.001%) v4 usdc/usdt pool $300m 24h volume on just $6m tvl with custom fee set to only 0.001% 15x the volume of 3pool on 1/30th the tvl V4 flexibility is crazy powerful, and it’s only the very beginning
- Looks like Hudson didn't get the memo that cancel culture was canceled for good a week ago. What transpired last night was an extremely heated debate between myself and Phil (which he instigated). There were personal attacks from both sides. For my part anything I said aboutMax Resnick (@maxresnick) was the one who said this to Phil at the private dinner. From my understanding, this isn't an isolated incident of someone getting overheated and saying something out of line. Anyone I've talked to people who have tried to reach out to him about this
- We are behind on Execution We are behind on Networking We are behind on Consenus But we have a secret weapon that others don't: Zero Knowledge. ZK is completely unintuitive and overpowered. Chances are high some ZK black magic will come out in the next 2 years that blows all
- Probably the best advice you could've given uniswap 6-12 months ago would have been to launch on Solana as soon as possible. Influential people, some of whom I think are very smart and respect told them to launch the 1000th Ethereum L2. This is the result.
- As an Ethereum person who attended Breakpoint, I'll share my perspective on this. 1) I had the privilege of discussing Multiple Concurrent Proposers with @toly on stage at DeFi Day. We are incredibly aligned on the vision for multi proposer to support decentralizedethereum people would cry at how much it's over for them if they attended @SolanaConf tbh but good thing we're bringing solana to ethereum
