Hi, you look new to the Solana community! Here the values I've seen time & time again:
- Willingness to freely help
- Relentless product focus
- No sacred cows; if it sucks call it out
- Not taking ourselves seriously
- Immaculate vibes
Have these values? You'll fit in great!
I need to send $10 USDC, but I only had a teensy amount of SOL in my wallet. So I bought WAY more than enough - $1 of SOL - in a couple of seconds via
@JupiterExchange
.
Is this possible anywhere else? Like, we need to remember how incredible just this is.
The year is 2025.
A woman in Kenya invests $200 to buy an SMS-enabled phone. She immediately has access to a $500 low-interest line of credit to buy fertilizers for her farm crops. This increases her income 5x.
It’s with a heavy heart that I’m announcing today was my last day @ Solana Mobile.
It was a blast building at the forefront of web3 & mobile. The best part though was meeting all you amazing teams and builders.
My heart is still here & I’m hopeful for the future!
When I was interviewing for my role at
@solanamobile
, one of the things
@aeyakovenko
said to me was:
"I just want people to be able to buy coffee with their dog money."
Looks like after yesterday, this reality might just happen...
Be patient, frens. Solana will have its day.
We have superior tech.
We have Mobile.
We have astonishingly high quality builders.
We have superior community.
Keep being good to each other. Help build each other up.
It's a marathon disguised as sprint. We WILL make it.
I'm at a café in
#SanFrancisco
, and I just watched a thief poke their head in the door, grab someone's laptop right out from under them and run off. Their face was fully covered & they had a getaway car. They were organized. SF is horrible.

My hope is that people come to Solana via $BONK, and they end up staying for the community.
I'm here to this day because of the community; let's bring in more people!
Hey! Did you miss out on the
@MadLadsNFT
xNFT "Mad King" minting experience last week?
I made a recording of my mint so you could experience all the cool interactive stuff too!
It's time for a thread on why I think
@solanamobile
will be successful.
Crypto's future is mobile, but why us? Put simply, I believe we have the confluence the right software stack & timing on our side.
Let's get optimistic 👇
Fun story, when I was at

@joshuantaylor

It never saw the light of day, but maybe it should now huh?
I have one unopened pack; you want it

Just published v2 of the Solana Mobile Expo Template app!
Now comes with a bunch of new features:
- MWA 2.0, web3.js, spl-token
- React Navigation Screens/Tabs
- Material Design components
- React Query

Okay, if it wasn't obvious by now, I can finally officially announce my new job! I have joined

The year is 2003. You've watched the dotcom boom & bust come & go; lots has changed with the internet.
You're an early investor in Microsoft stock. Internet Explorer is used on 95% of computers. You learn back in your chair in your cubicle, content.
Internet Explorer has won.
I don't know what I think about this review feature. Now people are gonna review honestly and I'm gonna have to do more work to make the app better, when I just wanted to be lazy!
In all seriousness, mad congrats to the team, this is really cool!
Oh leave us 5 star reviews :)

app ideas. You may think there isn't much crypto apps can bring to the table, but you'd be wrong, anon. You've been lulled to sleep with the state of things. I assure you, there is much we couldn't do before or can do better.

Phantom really does bring the ETH experience into the modern age.
But $5 just to perform a basic DeFi operation?! And that's on a good day.
This is the best advertisement for Solana I can think of.
Interesting to see that key thought leaders in ETH land find this a hard concept to grasp.
Solana is definitely a community of hardened builders, and I think we are much better off for it.
@twobitidiot
I'm one of the developers working on the
@solanamobile
dApp store. Got a LOT of really good on-device crypto dApps being made by a lot of teams, some of which even possibly would be rejected by Google.
You mean like this?
Not *every* other screen. The
@solanamobile
Saga's Seed Vault is a separate runtime that renders to the screen completely isolated from the main Android OS.
It can't be touched in *any* way by normal or system Android apps.
The
#1
thing people under appreciate about
@Ledger
is the Trusted Display.
The screen is *powered* by the secure element chip.
An attacker can’t change what you see on the screen.
They can though on *every* other screen you use.
Google Play announced a big shift in policy today, allowing developers to incorporate digital assets such as NFTs into their apps and games in the store.

reports:
This is a future worth fighting for. But today there is pain.
Let's be there for each other, support each other.
Tomorrow let's build things that will actually change the world.
Of all things, Kin is what brought me into the Solana ecosystem. The first time I tried Kin on Solana, it was game over. It was like stepping 2 years into the future.
Very cool to see them go completely decentralized. Kin now belongs to the community!
7.06 trillion Kin has just been burned. Kin is now fully decentralized, with no inflation, no foundation, and no website. This is an exciting new chapter for Kin. Read more here:

@ted_livingston

He's a rare founder in our space that is 100% focused on building consumer apps the right way.
Ted, you need to be tweeting more about this stuff :)
In case you missed the madness:
- I make a random tweet
-
@c4b4d4
makes a banger 3D NFT, opens a 6969 count free mint
- Mints out in 3 hours
- Starts trading on secondary immediately
- Reaches 15 SOL ATH(?!)
- Generates $2.7 MILLION in volume
All in one day!
Just wow. Look at this exchange. An entire, huge ETH conf & not one exciting app.
On Solana all I see are people building cool apps & experiences. We are so far ahead of everyone else it's not even funny.

My Saga got its first battle scar today.
Dropped it from about 3 feet onto concrete like a doof. The Saga handled it like a champ though. Tis but a flesh wound!
@kharisthesun_
My therapist dad told me that very healthy people talk to themselves.
So you're good talking to yourself up until the point that you start asking yourself "what did you just say"?
People will literally turn down free money out of hate for Blockchain tech. That's how bad of a job we've done.
What are you doing to change this, anon?
You guys, Solana IS the mobile chain.
I'm putting together a list of all *released* mobile apps where Solana is a prominent aspect of its infra or purpose.
I'm at close to 70 mobile apps & games(!), and I don't think I'm done.
And, this doesn't count apps I know are coming...
For those that are wondering what this means:
You now can create a per-dApp wallet that is fully secured by passkeys!
🔥🔥🔥 user experiences getting unlocked every day...
Imagine if over the holidays your loved ones could have downloaded the
@drip_haus
app.
My plan is to make that possible for future holidays, as it's my first official day leading mobile! This is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.
I also secretly hope
@vibhu
roasts me daily
25,000 mobile devices plug in every night and immediately start contributing their storage and processors to decentralized systems. Each phone earns about $20 bucks a month.
Here's a fun story. I *haven't* been approached by any other Blockchain. Know why? They aren't thinking about mobile. At all.
Do you get it? We have a killer L1 and a plan to meet users where they are, on their phones.
We are so far ahead of the game it's not even funny.
I’ve honestly kept this private for a long time, but considering the FUD to round out the year I’ll share right before 2023 (my time). Every top blockchain you know has attempted to poach me, and likely my team. Won’t happen. No one does what we do and we will keep doing it.
A coffee shop owner in Mexico starts accepting payments with Solana Pay, and now is able to save 2-5% on every purchase that used to go to credit card companies. He passes those savings to customers.

I just realized if you are a creator/IP, Solana has an entire stack for you to build a an amazing audience:
@drip_haus
- distribution & community

- lore building

- social, inner circles

Heck, what'd I miss?
ERC-4337 makes it easy to set recurring payments with spend limits. Hate it or love it, this will make subscriptions as common in web3 as they are in web2.
ETH aligned: build alternate NFT marketplace, innovate some, pivot to a dubious "L2". Raise $20m.
SOL aligned: build alternate NFT mkt, innovate relentlessly, woo userbase w/ amazing UX. Overtake incumbent marketshare. Raise $3m
I know where I want to be.
Introducing Blast: The only Ethereum L2 with native yield for ETH and stablecoins.
