The new mayor of NYC wants the city to take over grocery stores. Very bullish for mechanism designers. Personally I'm excited to apply my experience working on Solana queues to NYC bread lines.
Experienced teams from across the industry who want to build efficient markets are reaching out asking about building with ACE on Solana.
Without revealing too much about our immediate plans (announcement coming soon) I can say that Solana development philosophy is to talk with apps, figure out what is going wrong, and fix the problems quickly.
If changes need to be made to make sure that Solana can be the home of the worlds most liquid markets, we will make them. Right now it looks like the market structure would actually work really well (at least considerably better than today) if we could just get good transaction landing. This is because of prioritization based on prio_fee/requested CU in the scheduler. To that end we have deployed the artillery (@alessandrod) to dramatically reduce landing latency and jitter. I'll report back with before/after metrics once the changes we identified so far land.

Fartcoin quants have been doing TAM calculations all wrong. They considered the total addressable market for digital natural gas based on the total quantity of human produced methane. but the largest producers of methane aren't humans they are livestock.
Open AI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Deep Seek are the frontier labs of AI. Which places in crypto are frontier labs today pushing the boundaries of the technology?
Anza/FD are obvious. Mysten certainly deserves consideration. Which others should be considered frontier labs?
Market structure influencers on twitter would have you believe that Solana cannot compete with tradfi because it is a decentralized network. The numbers don’t the support narrative.
Today Solana spot spreads are sub 1 bps, in many cases even tighter than Binance.
This is because of permissionless innovation from Solfi, Obric, ZeroFi and others. We are going to accelerate that by giving app developers even more tools to innovate on the market structure.
I'm running some transaction landing experiments rn and i'm sending about 20 tps. Which I realized is more TPS that the entire Ethereum blockchain. I started with 0.05 Sol in my account, now i have 0.04984 Sol.
