1/ Is Solana like your phone? A thread inspired by @KyleSamani on @bizbreakdowns solana.com/news/solana-ne…
2/ Your phone has a heat problem. Every phone does. The clock speed of your processor has a thermal limit — and yet phones keep getting faster. How?
3/ One huge way is parallelization — modern graphics cards are massively parallel, meaning they can run many processes at the same time.

That’s exactly what Solana does.
4/ More importantly, running parallel on the same parts gives you a forecastable path. So if you’re building on Solana today, you can reasonably believe what aggregate throughput will be based on the current trajectories. All without sharding
5/ It’s that predictability — and scalability — that allows people to build for the future.

Stake Pools are coming to Solana! A thread 🧵
2/ A network’s censorship resistance is a measure of its ability to withstand disruptions or attacks.

A good way to measure this is by looking at the superminority: the smallest set of validators that can halt the network.
3/ However, one of the hardest problems in censorship resistance is the challenge of getting people to split their stake between many independent validators.
Greater stake distribution increases the superminority, making the network harder to attack.

1/ The Solana Foundation has joined forces with @metaplex and @Audiusproject to launch a Creator Fund aiming to bring in the next wave of musicians, artists and more into crypto!
2/ Crypto networks are now providing infrastructure for creators and artists of all kinds to connect directly with their fans and sidestep extractive networks, management firms, and centralized social media platforms.
3/ We can't afford to wait for creators to discover what blockchains can do for them.

The Solana community needs to bring blockchain to creators. The creator economy should be built on Solana, and initiatives like this will kickstart it.

Stay tuned for more updates!
