Solana needs no introduction. Ever since its inception, it pushed throughput scaling on a single chain, without the need of sharding or rollups. Despite its ups and downs that culminated at the bottom of the bear market after the FTX crash, it managed to not only survive, but build a vibrant community around crypto's (arguably) most prominent PMF (thus far).Join us for a fascinating discussion and learn about Anatoly's take on controversial topics such as MEV, concurrent block leaders (the equivalent of Ethereum's PBS proposal), L2 rollups, Solana economics, how to tackle potential exploits and more.Topics covered in this episode:How the original Solana vision turned outWhat makes blockchains valuableMEV & program writable accountsConcurrent block proposersCurrent bottlenecks for scaling SolanaMainnet vs. L2 rollupsFiredancer upgradeHalting the network vs. rollbacksSolana's scaling roadmapDoubleZeroWorst hacks on SolanaUI exploits, Bybit hack and smart contract securitySolana economics and the SIMD-0228 proposalFuture improvementsUse cases for blockchainsSolana mobileEpisode links:Anatoly Yakovenko on XSolana on XSolana Mobile on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Er is de laatste tijd veel te doen over Solana. De munt, oorspronkelijk bedacht door de Oekraïens-Amerikaanse ontwikkelaar Anatoly Yakovenko, werpt zich op als de meest serieuze concurrent voor Ethereum. Solana valt op door zijn hoge transactiesnelheden- en lage kosten. De laatste tijd is het daarmee ook de preferente plek voor nieuwe munten en NFT's, omdat het creeëren van een NFT-collectie op Ethereum simpelweg te duur is geworden.  Met Geale Simon Postma, die toepassingen maakt op het netwerk van Solana, spreken we over deze opvallende munt. Want hoe werkt het netwerk precies? Hoe verschilt Ethereum's proof of stake van Solana's 'proof of time' en hoe zit het met de initiële verkoop van grote hoeveelheden tokens aan investeerders, ver voordat het grote publiek Solana leerde kennen? Daarnaast hebben we ook aandacht voor de Solana Smartphone, genaamd de SAGA. De eerste versie leek in eerste instantie te floppen, maar door de grote hoeveelheid airdrops die exclusief via de smartphone geclaimd konden worden werd het stuk elektronica plots een verzamelobject. De tweede versie van deze Web3-telefoon moet in 2025 verschijnen.  Tot slot kijken we naar de waarde die Solana toevoegt aan het cryptlandschap. De mogelijkheden op de blockchain van Solana zijn technisch imposant, maar er is ook veel aan te merken op de mate van decentraliteit. Met ergens tussen de 1500 en 3000 'validators' is dat namelijk niet het sterkste punt van Solana. Het kost nogal wat om validator te worden en het netwerk maakt je (voorlopig) nog niet rijk.  Bovendien heeft de blockchain al een aantal keer last gehad van storing. Vorige week konden er vijf uur lang geen transacties gedaan worden. Wat zijn de voors en tegens voor deze 'Ethereum-killer'? En hoe ziet de toekomst van Solana eruit, bijvoorbeeld met de veelbelovende update Firedancer. Co-host is Daniël Mol.

For this week's episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, the technology company that aims to help grow the ecosystem for the layer-1 blockchain Solana.The conversation focused on Solana Mobile and its flagship web3 Android smartphone, Saga, which sold out in mid-December, as well as its new phone, Chapter 2 – which was announced last week. Within its first 30 hours Chapter 2 had over 30,000 preorders – signaling a lot of demand for the next generation Android-based phone. At the time of recording, Anatoly shared there were over 40,000 preorders.Anatoly and Jacquelyn discussed the long road to selling out Saga, how important rewards and developers are and the nitty gritty details for Chapter 2. They also dove into the company's strategy and long-term mission of going up against Google and Apple app stores and how long it may take for Solana Mobile to breakeven.If you need a refresher on Solana Mobile's Saga phone, we've got you covered:Buying frenzy for Solana Mobile's second phone drives preorders sky-highRing ring, Solana's web3-focused Saga phone is callingSolana's web3 phone is an ‘opportunity' against Google and Apple, co-founder says(0:00) Solana mobile background information(1:51) Launching Solana Mobile(6:17) Benefits of building on the DApp sotre(8:14) Saga phone and developer revenue(12:46) Reward models for adoption(15:07) Launching Chapter 2(23:28) Solana's Mobile Strategy(24:35) Crypto and digital self custody25:52) What's next for Solana Mobile   Chain Reaction comes out every Thursday at 12:00 p.m. ET, so be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite pod platform to keep up with the action.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the latest news. This week, they are joined by Laura Shin, the host of Unchained, to discuss the latest post from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who argues that crypto needs to get back to its idealistic cypherpunk roots. Is Vitalik the Pope of crypto, as Haseeb argues, and is there even a need for such an exemplary-type figure? And how do other influential crypto folks like Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko and Tron's Justin Sun fit into this dynamic? The gang also discusses the likely imminent approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. and what it might mean for Bitcoin's price and Ordinals Inscriptions. Show highlights:  Who won the group's bet on what the circulating supply of PayPal's stablecoin, PYUSD, would be at the end of the year The Orbit Bridge hack and how the potential involvement of North Korea could be a problem for the industry How Vitalik's post urging for a return to the cypherpunk ideals sparked a debate within the community Whether Vitalik is like “the Pope of crypto” and whether there's even a need for one Why it's so important to keep the cypherpunk ethos, according to Tarun Why Tom believes, after reading Vitalik's post, that the wrong lessons are being learned How Vitalik and Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko could represent the religious leaders of two different approaches Whether Justin Sun is the “inverse of Vitalik” How GBTC holders are the most impacted ones given that the spot Bitcoin ETFs will be created and redeemed in cash Whether the SEC is picking favorites in the Bitcoin ETF landscape What could happen to the price of BTC if the ETF is approved Whether the rise in Bitcoin's price will increase fees so much that it crowds out Ordinals Inscriptions Hosts Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly  Tom Schmidt, general partner at Dragonfly  Tarun Chitra, managing partner at Robot Ventures Guest Laura Shin, journalist, author of ‘The Cryptopians,' founder and CEO of Unchained Disclosures Links Cypherpunk ideals Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again by Vitalik Buterin Quotes on Vitalik's post on X Business Insider: 'Heed these words of warning:' Ethereum founder threatens to leave if the crypto community doesn't grow up The Block: Solana Labs CEO: It ‘doesn't really matter' if the network goes down again Spot Bitcoin ETF Unchained:  77% of Financial Advisors Are Waiting for a Spot Bitcoin ETF to Offer Their Clients How Much Money Will Flow Into Bitcoin ETFs?

Things looked bleak for Solana after the collapse of FTX. Anatoly Yakovenko explains how the blockchain rebounded so successfully that SOL became the best-performing top crypto in 2023. Solana's native token SOL has been one of the best-performing cryptos of the year, up more than 500% so far, but you wouldn't have guessed that would be the case given how closely tied the blockchain was to FTX, which held huge amounts of SOL and was a big supporter of the platform. The blockchain also experienced numerous outages in 2022. But Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana's co-founder, says the discipline imposed by FTX's collapse, as well as improvements to the technology, have made Solana stronger. On this episode of Unchained, Yakovenko talks about the impact of FTX's collapse, his early impressions of Sam Bankman-Fried, the SEC's designation of SOL as a security, how entrepreneurs are leaving the U.S. because of the regulatory risk, SOL's share of the stablecoin market, and why he thinks it's inevitable that finance will eventually run on something like Solana.

In today's crypto news, Anatoly Yakovenko advocates for US lawmakers to regulate crypto to foster innovation in America, emphasizing the industry's potential. Citigroup steps into the blockchain arena by launching a smart contract digital token service tailored for institutions. The SEC takes action by demanding an inspection of Binance US as part of the "House of Mirrors" case, intensifying regulatory scrutiny. Blockchain Capital successfully closes funds totaling $580 million, signifying strong investor interest in blockchain, crypto gaming, and DeFi projects. Concerns arise as Bitcoin investors face a potential $100 billion loss, a development closely monitored in the crypto community. Lastly, PayPal's report shows the growing influence of stablecoins, with a total circulation of $131 billion.#CryptoNews #Regulation #Citigroup #Blockchain #SEC #Binance #BlockchainCapital #Bitcoin #PayPal #Stablecoins__________News Links

Bankless hasn't had the most coverage of Solana, the network, and SOL, the asset, but in this episode that changes. Our guest, Austin Federa is Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation and is the host of the Validated podcast.  David was recently a guest on Austin's podcast where they went back and forth on some of the cultural and philosophical differences between the Solana and Ethereum projects.
