Solana speed updates:

- raising block limits and then doubling them
- doublezero for faster internet layer and edge filtering
- firedancer live Q2 2025 (this is my guess, not official)
- separate execution from consensus
- multiple concurrent leaders for low global latency
- 120 ms blocktimes

the path to 10,000x scale is clear — and solana already does a ton of scale

pumped!!!!! faster

hold up wait, i totally missed this

but if you look at basescan

there was a period of rougly 500+ blocks with 0 user transactions (i.e., an outage)

am I reading this wrong or why was there absolutely 0 coverage for the biggest L2 in crypto being down? Image
example block: basescan.org/block/20071525
you gotta be kidding me man

there was ZERO media coverage. still no coverage at all actually, except for the base status page mentioning an incident of "delayed transactions" Image

this is arguably the best application of crypto I've seen yet — everyone needs to talk about it more

traditional mapping is a monopoly, expensive, and inefficient

how it works is that Google has cars that drive around and gather data periodically and charge super high fees since this data is very hard to get

with crypto, you can give people all around the world the ability to earn by adding dashcams to their cars and map the world in real-time

the result is that you get:

i) much fresher mapping data (Google Maps might take months to re-map something!!)

ii) much better economics

iii) much better composability and network effects

the end result is a much better real-time world map than any centralized institution can provide

the team behind it is @Hivemapper and they're building on SolanaImage
this is so sick — crypto enabling better real world systems Image
and of course

we had on @aseidman, one of the most based founders I've ever seen, on Lightspeed

one of our most popular episodes:

hot take

OG ETH crowd (who genuinely care about the future of crypto, not just their own bags or twitter engagement) will actually come around to appreciate SOL

now that tourists & predators have been washed out — only the real ones who want a better future will be left
ETH & SOL approach scaling much differently —but I don't see why that has to be a fighting point

the *real* problem is that crypto apps barely have PMF

it doesn't matter who can scale to handle the next billion users...if there's not a billion users who even want to use this
that is to say — EVM & SOL, while having some overlap — do ultimately enable different design spaces

we need to explore these design spaces relentlessly to maximize the number of possible applications with mass PMF

There's a lot of noise / negativity out there due to the market - it's easy to ignore some of the positive signs and signals behind the scenes.

Let's take a quick look at some promising SOL charts 📈
Users

Even though the price of SOL (and all crypto assets) have tanked - it's promising this hasn't resulted in a drastic loss of users.

With over a million active wallets - we're much better positioned for the next cycle.
Activity

- New NFTs are still being minted (and trending upwards)
- More money is being moved around using Solana rails
- Users still keep transacting with no massive downturns

Usage & activity are much more important than price
