1/ It's #SolanaSolstice once again ☀️ 2022 was the year for shipping and scaling — and building the real-world tools that will onboard millions of users.

Here's why you can bet on the Solana community in 2023 solana.com/news/solana-so… 🧵 Image
2/ ☀️ SMS and Saga

In June, @solanamobile announced the Solana Mobile Stack and Saga phone to seamlessly, securely free the blockchain from the desktop.

And it's coming soon.

DVT-1 units are shipping now. Saga will ship to the public in early 2023.
3/ ☀️ @solanapay launched a brand-new, frictionless payments protocol.

Since its launch in February, it's been adopted by stores and brands alike (like @FastAF and @ASICSamerica), and sparked the growth of a whole new payments ecosystem.
4/ ☀️ What was once chewing glass is now more like surfing glass.

Massive upgrades to developer tooling and education in the Solana ecosystem has made it easier for new builders and founders to get started. solana.com/developers
5/ ☀️ Developer developers developers.

Those new educational tools has led to explosive growth in the number of Solana devs.

As of November, there were 2053 total active developers working on Solana, with 1654 of those working on Solana-only projects. solana.com/news/measuring…
6/ ☀️ Students are building on Solana.

The word is out for the next generation. @solanaU Ambassadors are spreading the word about the Solana community to college campuses around the world.

(Apply to the next cohort of Ambassadors by December 22nd! 👇) solanauniversity.surveysparrow.com/s/solana-u-amb…
7/ ☀️ Mainstream adoption is coming.

This was the year that traditional companies took notice of the power of the @solana ecosystem.

@ASICSamerica, @Meta, @discord, @stripe, @helium, @Ledger and more are already building.
8/ ☀️ @googlecloud is supporting Solana.

Not only are they running their own block-producing validator, but Google Cloud will be extending Blockchain Node Engine support to Solana, and indexing Solana data to add to Big Query.
9/ ☀️ @brave brought Solana to their browser.

After announcing it at @SolanaConf 2021, Brave completed their Solana integration this year — making it much easier for non-native users to get started in web3.
10/ ☀️ The network keeps getting better and better.

The network averages around 4,000 TPS.
The Nakamoto coefficient is 30 with 1,911 validators.
Thanks to upgrades, the Solana network performs well under pressure.

11/☀️ Two emoji: 🔥💃

@jump_crypto's new validator client will turbochage Solana. It can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second in a test environment.

This will make Solana one of two smart contract network with two validator clients 🔥
12/ ☀️ Solana is carbon neutral.

The average nonvoting transaction on Solana has the same energy impact as a few Google searches

The entire Solana network uses less energy than one Bitcoin transaction, and that impact is entirely offset. solana.com/environment Image
13/ ☀️ The Solana community is focused on the real world.

This year @solanaspaces opened two location in the United States that are introducing the power of the ecosystem to everyone — and is rewriting the franchising game with @spacesdao.
14/ ☀️ Solana @hackerhouses kickstarted building around the globe.

Thousands of builders attended 24 Solana Hacker Houses around the world — and the 2023 schedule is already announced. Will we see you there?
15/ ☀️ Breakpoint showed the power of the Solana ecosystem.

This year's @SolanaConf was the biggest Solana gathering yet, with nearly double the attendees as the previous Breakpoint. All were there to see what's next for the Solana network.
16/ What are you most excited about in 2023?

Happy #SolanaSolstice.
