Let's talk more about #SSC v2 and what makes it unique in the #Solana #NFT world!

We're combining a few things here to maximize the capabilities of SSC v2 to really bring our #SolanaNFT community closer with our $SHDW community.

Read on degen... read on... First of all, let's take a moment to recognize and thank the @Metaplex team for everything they've done for the #Solana #NFT ecosystem!

No team has contributed more to #SolanaNFTs and anyone building in the #SolanaNFT space stands on a foundation built only bc of their hardwork!

This time last year we were deep into the launch of $SHDW! 2022 was a crazy ride for #Solana, #crypto, #NFTs, and our team in general!

Tomorrow marks the bonus unlocks for the SSC NFTs that have been staked for 365 consecutive days as well.

What's next? Let's set some context. A lot of #Solana tokens do everything they can to limit circulating value. They live in mortal fear of full dilution. Basically looking at any super high supply token.

We took a different route, $SHDW has a small total supply and we actively want to be fully diluted asap. Why?

Incredibly crazy sad day... A lot of people weighing if this is the next entry point.

A thought if I may... Do yourself a favor, don't think of this as an entry point. Don't listen to anyone saying now is the big opportunity.

In short... Do not deploy capital more capital lads. The entire landscape has just shifted underneath our feet. Literally everything is different now and it has nothing to do with tokens or NFTs. It has nothing to do with how much you "love the tech" or "are in it for the community."

Think about what just happened...

$SHDW Drive was a great start for what we're doing and currently there are 3.5TB of stuff stored by #Solana developers!

Truly, this is amazing! If it seems like we've been quiet lately it's only because we're full on heads down BUIDL in preparation for @SolanaConf Our premium #Solana RPC network (which will replace our public free RPC network) is having the finishing touches put on it.

I know we said we were shutting down the free RPC network due to #NFT royalties drying up and that is still the plan.

However...

That moment when it all clicks into place... love to see it!
The remaining piece is making sure that #Solana files stored on $SHDW drive are...
#1: Validated via a consensus mechanism.
#2: Permanently Stored and immutable if that's what the user desires.

For #1... we already have an amazing consensus mechanism at our disposal... #Solana.
Therefore, ensuring that the uploaded data was stored correctly and hasn't been altered becomes a "simple" matter of integrating the validator network into the upload process.

Let's talk about timeouts/failures when submitting txn requests on #Solana.
We've started to see an increase in "infra projects" claiming that, for a fee, they'll guarantee you never get any failed or timed out txns bc you can use their private validator. Why this is a scam... 🧵 First, a big thank you to some amazing contributors in the #Solana ecosystem for resources referenced below.
@jito_labs @buffalu__ @SolanaCookbook @solana @therealchaseeb @ShinobiSystems @tracy_codes and the many I know I missed!
You're all heroes!

1) The first round of @samoyedcoin #airdrops has been finished!!! We had amazing response and in just two days time we gave away around 1.6m $SAMO! 8.4m left to go!!! The @samoyedcoin community is absolutely amazing and we were so happy to see so many new join! 2) Many new people from the @solana community are now part of the #SAMOArmy! The last epoch's performance is below. This is the performance across all validators on the network. To everyone who staked tokens, thank you for staking with #GenesysGo!!!!

1) Day 1 of the GenesysGo/@samoyedcoin team up! Turn out was huge and we are so incredibly grateful! #SAMO has the best community in crypto. Don't 👀now but $SAMO was up 50% today! Don't miss the 🚀 Remember, for every 1 SOL staked with GenGo and receive a 100 SAMO #Airdrop! 👇 2) Join the SAMO discord and check out the announcements channel for info discord.gg/XpkFdUGC

You MUST have SAMO...if you don't own SAMO then better go buy some! @RaydiumProtocol now has SAMO swap thanks to their permissionless LP's!

1) A quick primer on how to stake SOL tokens (with GenesysGo)!
Obviously, we all love @solana and especially our $SOL tokens. If you're a long term investor, planning to hold your SOL until it is $1k+ and beyond, then it's important you are getting the most out of your tokens. 2) By staking your Solana tokens you are directly helping to power the network! In return, you are paid an APR in SOL that compounds into more SOL. It's important to note, staking a Layer 1 token (like Solana) is different than staking a Layer 3 like Raydium.
