I built Watchtower: a free, open-source security monitor for Solana programs
Point it at a program, and it grades your security, then alerts on admin calls, multisig proposals, and upgrades in real time
Built on @Helius Parsed Events + Parsed Streams

Lana is now on X.
Tag @lanaAI_bot in a reply to any post and ask about the transaction, wallet, or token in it. Lana reads the post and answers in the thread.
Here it explains a tx from just a link, then traces who funded the wallet behind it.

- We are making progress on our weaknesses in monetary policy and derivatives
- Zcash remains the most asymmetric and important opportunity in crypto
- I love crypto
E179: Mert Mumtaz - $SOL at $8. zcash:native at $18. The framework that caught both, and the next potential gem
I sat down for the 3rd time with @mert the CoFounder of @solana and the CEO of @Zcash for a banger episode where we cut through the noise, understand the thesis for Solana and $SOL in 2026, why zcash:native is the last 100x in the large caps and why $NEAR might be the next $SOL at $8 and zcash:native at $18
