Solana

Accelerate! doing some live casting from Pier 36 today. @rajgokal and @0xmert up first:

- bringing Accelerate to the US as the country embraces crypto and works to provide clear regulatory frameworks for how to build here

- internet-native capital markets are the way forward, esp via mobile-first consumer apps

now @nikitabier and @toly mostly on the new Solana mobile launch (coming this fall):

“one of the biggest challenges in crypto is how do you get them to spend money, and if you have to get them switch to a wallet and do all this other. until the UX is as good as Apple Pay, there’s no way we can get crypto fully adopted.” — Toly

“as a mobile dev, your biggest existential risk is the app store. solana mobile is a huge opportunity for that, there’s also way to do passive micro transactions. we all know spam is taking over social right now, and if you can do seamless transactions to stop LLM bots then that’ll be huge*. it’s an experience not even possible on iOS or Android.” - Nikita

*idk if i agree with this given what we’ve seen here

“i don’t think founders actually think about timing. i wasn’t like this is the right time for the market. i had this drive and fire to create something that i think the world needs, and then it’s up to the gods.” - Toly

high stakes storytelling | ex @polymarket

helping build farcaster | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina | “lucky me, lucky mud”
