- Replying to @vergeLmao incredible. Astronomical levels of gaslighting.

- This is mind blowing. Protecting free speech is more important than ever.Take this 45 mins of your life now to watch this segment from last week's stream for my X subscribers and you will never have to wonder that question ever again.
00:00 - We made some big optimizations to the Stacks Blockchain API v7.8.0 for a massive reduction in block ingestion time 😎. Let’s talk about how we did it. 🧵Nothing like a snappy API to get you through the day. We’ve reduced block ingestion time in the Stacks Blockchain API by 85-95% 🔥. This means devs will see transactions reflected closer to the same time as they are mined, so the Explorer and API will feel much snappier.

- .@Stacks Nakamoto 2.5 is LIVE on mainnet! Very proud of all my colleagues and the Stacks ecosystem builders who contributed to this goal! Next stop: 3.0 activation with fast blocks 🔥
- Last weekend, we saw the most transactions per Stacks block ever in response to the launch of @stx20stacks, a new inscription protocol for fungible tokens on Stacks. So how well did the Hiro API handle all that traffic? 👇Just broken! New record is 10,371 transactions
