Breakpoint incoming 🔥

After my time at Triton ended, I took a step back.

I had three side projects and one rule: pick one, focus, ship it.

I failed the focus part. I built all three.

Turns out they needed each other. Together they became @firestratxyz, live on Solana now 🧵

It took us a year to build this.
It takes you one click to use it.

We built our first model with one job: beat every yield on the internet.

Now on Solana Mainnet
Watch 👇 firestrat.xyz 🧵

We need a way to pool stake and resources so indie validators can merge instead of shutting down.

Selling a validator business is nearly impossible. Selling private keys makes no sense, and merging multiple teams under one validator identity is tricky.

Maybe a challenge for @sanctumso ? 👀

I’ve seen a massive amount of friend’s Solana validators shut down over the years

Every time I told myself: it’s all about being patient

After 2 years of running a validator, which was barely making it (taking all the costs into account with bear market prices) and running perfect ops around it

I finally got this @jito stake and was starting to see a future with Alpenglow where the validator was going to start making money

But one random day just before breakpoint

The SFDP changed the rules of who gets stake

Craziest part is that I understand and agree on the change

SFDP was keeping a big chunk of validators alive, in a blockchain that prides itself at not being a communist chain AND doesn’t need to motivate people to run validators to compete with Ethereum numbers

Solana is going to 200 validators, operated by financial firms and large companies

We are drifting further and further away from our 2021 NFT and DAO ideals 😅

But I guess each dev profile has a role to play at different moment of a chain’s lifetime

I will never forget the Serum fork when FTX crashed (and my Wired article lmao), helping all the companies in 2022 and 2023 stay afloat, winning Colosseum with Tokamai, all the people I met through solana’s amazing events in 2022/2023/2024/2025

My only worry is that the big validators of the top 30 did show a massive inability to keep their operations going when a few months back we almost had a network halt

Not my problem anymore I guess, tho

@solana, of course I still love you

(I hope many people will take this post as a bear market bottom signal)

Upgraded this morning, absolutely seamless. Best UX as always!

Just missing a card to become my daily wallet. Already feels so much safer and cleaner.

Loved Jup Mobile at first, but all the new features, especially memecoin trading, made it way too cluttered.

Every Sanctum wallet is now a 2-of-3 multisig ☁️

A lost key no longer locks you out, and a leaked key is no longer enough to drain you.

Why this matters 🧵

Nice opportunity at ~40%+ APY.
Wonder how long it’ll last a few hours? A few days? 👀

I should probably release our multiply script to the public.

Introducing the PT-ONyc USDG Market on Kamino.

Curated by @SteakhouseFi, the market enables users to borrow USDG against @ExponentFinance’s PT-ONyc, unlocking liquidity against fixed-maturity positions tied to @onrefinance’s reinsurance yield.
