Replying to @redacted_noah
Gaming x blockchain is finance (“in game items”)
NFTs are finance (trading and liquidity created that boom)
Everything is about money and markets
So to the culture nft gaming world - blockchains value to these worlds has always been finance and markets too
Quantumglow.
Solana has been early in quantum readiness and remains ahead in its preparation.
What would Solana’s consensus look like in a post-quantum world?
Meet Quantumglow: a proposed adaptation of Alpenglow that aims to protect consensus while preserving fast finality.
@jacobvcreech and @qkniep explain how it works. Full video below👇

Massive thanks to the Solana users, program devs, auditors, and core devs that read earlier versions of solanabook.org, provided invaluable feedback and sometimes tore it apart.
@r0bre, @alex_n_kahn, @callum_codes, @redacted_noah, @a_milz, @bw_solana, @pavankat, @DoctorBlocks, @CoryAbdalla, @deanmlittle, @therealchaseeb, Angus from @solana_SRI and a few people who aren't on X. 🫡
Any remaining errors are mine alone.

✨SOLANA PEOPLE✨: if you're wondering what I've been working on for the last 6 months. 😃
It’s time.
Alpenglow goes live on mainnet-beta Wednesday, October 21, ~14:50 UTC.
18 months of work for a migration that happens in one slot. Finality drops from seconds to ~150ms.
Make sure to follow us @anza_xyz as we countdown to go-live.

> 2) 99% of people thought that @toly ‘s initiatives around phones were dumb. I also thought the same thing for a while
99/100 founder led initiatives are dumb. Doing nothing is also dumb. That’s basically why startups are hard.
A few thoughts
1) this is why it’s important to think about blockchains both as trading and payment systems
Payments propagate money. Which increases availability for trading
2) 99% of people thought that @toly ‘s initiatives around phones were dumb. I also thought the same thing for a while
The work that made this announcement possible was the early work on the Solana Mobile Stack
Expect a lot more of these types of announcements to come

MEXICO | Peso is the world’s most depreciated currency in Sept, falling nearly 6% as carry trade unwinds and rate differentials hit 2008 lows.

ICYMI: Three principles behind solana:BPxxfRCXkUVhig4HS1Lh7kZqV6SPJhzfEk4x6fVBjPCy tokenomics.
▸ No founder, team or investor token allocation. Token treasury held by company until post-IPO.
▸ Growth > dilution. Token unlocks trigger only upon major growth milestones and product expansions.
▸ Long-term BP stakers can exchange for equity ownership in Backpack.
Stocks on Solana with @Backpack 🆘
Bringing traditional finance onchain takes fast, low-cost settlement and 1:1 redeemable assets.
In @blockworksres's Sept 3–16 MU sample, measured all-in costs were:
▸ $1–$100 trades: Backpack Securities on @Solana: 0.12% vs Robinhood Chain: 5.42%
▸ $100–$1k trades: 1.6 bps vs 43.7 bps
Measured against the MU stock midpoint, including embedded DEX fees and actual network charges.
Solana for the network. Backpack Securities for 1:1 redeemable tokenized stocks.

🚨BREAKING: Solana just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH in onchain activity with 5.2 BILLION non-vote transactions in August.
That is 19% higher than July's previous record, excluding all consensus voting traffic.
Memecoin trading drove the surge, with weekly spot volume hitting $5.2 BILLION, the highest since November 2025.

Solana is the fiercest, most competitive ecosystem out there. There’s really nothing quite like it.
Incredible to see Stonkfun rise this quickly.
