HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOLANA BREAKPOINT DAY TWO
Solana Breakpoint Day One set a rapid pace, with milestone announcements about Firedancer, key product updates from Jupiter, and trillion-dollar asset manager Franklin Templeton disclosing its intention to build a mutual fund on Solana.
Despite the high expectations following a blistering Day One, Day Two kept the momentum alive and delivered plenty of showstopping announcements.
COINBASE TO LAUNCH cbBTC ON SOLANA
Coinbase, one of the industry’s most popular centralized exchanges, announced its intention to deploy its wrapped version of Bitcoin on the Solana network. Since launching on Ethereum and Base just a few weeks earlier, cbBTC has quickly climbed the ranks to become the third-largest wrapped Bitcoin token in the market.
The move is expected to bring more of Bitcoin’s deep liquidity to Solana, where cbBTC can be integrated into various DeFi applications and increase capital efficiency on the network.
FIREDANCER LIVE ON MAINNET FOR NON-VOTE TRANSACTIONS
FireDancer may have stolen the show on Day One, but the Jump Crypto developers weren’t content to stop there. Firedancer’s Research and Development Architect, Phillip Taffet, and Production Engineer Anway De announced that the full Firedancer validator client was now live on the Solana mainnet for non-vote transactions.
But that wasn’t all that the Firedancer team had in store. A live demo also demonstrated the Frankendancer client executing 1.04M transactions per second.
MAGIC EDEN UNVEILS NEW FEATURES
Magic Eden, the blockchain industry’s largest NFT marketplace across all chains in terms of trading revenue, outlined some of its future plans.
Showcasing a more composable cross-chain ecosystem Magic Eden teased new features like the ability to swap fungible assets on one chain for non-fungible assets on a completely different network.
In a move that didn’t surprise anyone, Magic Eden also announced that its upcoming $ME token will be launched on Solana.
deBridge ANNOUNCES TGE
The deBridge ($DBR) token airdrop has been one of the most anticipated TGEs in recent months.
To thunderous applause from a captivated audience, deBridge co-founder Alex Smirnov announced that $DBR is scheduled to go live on the 17th of October.
Smirnov also used his time in the spotlight to share a wealth of new product features coming to the deBridge application, including gasless bridging and the integration of new chains live Bitcoin and Tron.
BONK ETP
One of Solana’s favorite memecoins, BONK made its presence known at Breakpoint. But beyond the BONK boxing ring, BONK core contributor Nom highlighted the prolific growth of the Bonk brand, which has secured impressive partnerships across the Web2 world, like its sponsorship of Borussia Dortmund.
Affirming BONK’s rise from memecoin, to cultural movement, to financial entity, Nom also announced the team’s intention to launch a BONK ETP. The move is believed to be a precursor to an eventual BONK ETF.
SANCTUM ANNOUNCES BIG UPDATES
Sanctum, the Solana DeFi powerhouse bringing greater flexibility to LST (Liquid Staking Tokens), announced several exciting updates.
First, Sanctum co-founder FP Lee introduced ‘Creator Coins’, a novel spin on LSTs that provides new tools for individuals, communities, and businesses to build, grow, and monetize their audiences.
Lee also announced the upcoming launch of a Sanctum card. Conceived in collaboration with BasedApp and Jupiter, the Cloud Card is expected to facilitate real-world payments using Solana-based crypto assets.
Finally, the Sanctum founder also shared that the platform’s polarizing incentives campaign, Wonderland, would be making its return soon with a second season of rewards.

SOLANA BREAKPOINT: The Biggest Announcements From Day One
Hopes were high for some big announcements, but even the most devout Solana maxi wasn’t ready for this.
Over 5,700 Solana fans, users, and bulls descended on day one of Singapore Breakpoint. The biggest conference event in Solana history, Breakpoint delivered a wrath of key updates, with crucial developments announced from both native teams and institutional players.
If you weren’t at Breakpoint, here’s what you need to know:
FIREDANCER LIVE ON TESTNET
Solana users and investors alike were delighted to see Kevin Bowers, Jump Crypto’s Chief Science Officer take the stage to deliver one of the network’s most eagerly awaited updates.
Firedancer, the novel validator client promising to bring unparalleled levels of scalability, decentralization, and security to Solana, is now live on testnet.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bowers also took the opportunity to outline the development history of the client and its evolution from Frankendancer, an experimental synergy of existing software with Jump’s new codebase, to the optimized final Firedancer product.
To rounds of raucous applause from the Solana faithful, Bowers announced that the existing Frankendancer client is now live on the Solana mainnet.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BUILDING ON SOLANA
While existing SOL ETF applications find themselves unlikely to be approved in the short term, that doesn’t mean that TradFi giants aren’t eager to launch Solana-based products to their institutional clients.
Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest financial players boasting over $1 .3T in AUM (Assets Under Management) announced its intention to launch a mutual fund on the Solana blockchain.
CITIBANK EXPLORING SOLANA
Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and VanEck aren’t the only Wall Street players with an eye on crypto’s most performant Layer-1.
Citibank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, shared that it was exploring Solana’s potential, suggesting that seamless money transfers and advanced smart contract composability present unique opportunities in the future.
JUPITER MAKES BIG MOVES
Traditional Finance may have dominated the headlines, but Solana-native DeFi teams also commanded their fair share of the spotlight.
Jupiter co-founder Siong presented an immense range of updates coming to Jupiter’s expansive ecosystem. Crucial announcements included a refreshed v2 perps platform, the reveal of the Ape Pro memecoin trading platform, further details surrounding the Jupiter mobile wallet, and Jupiter’s acquisition of the SolanaFM explorer.
SKY, FORMERLY MakerDAO, DEPLOYS ON SOLANA
MakerDAO, one of the crypto industry’s longest standing DeFi protocols, recently rebranded to SKY, migrating its iconic decentralized stablecoin from $DAI to $USDS . Building on top of the momentum achieved with the rebrand, SKY announced a proposal to leverage Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure to bridge $USDS to Solana.
Reinforcing SKY’s desire to be present on the Solana network, the protocol announced an rewards campaign to incentivise deeper liquidity on the network. According to SKY governance, the maximum distribution of weekly rewards is capped at 2M $SKY .
The move helps to bring greater stability to Solana DeFi by providing a more diversified range of stablecoin assets onchain.
Continuing the trend of Solana migration, the Huma Finance PayFi network also announced its intention to launch on the network.

🏆❌ The winner of the "Best Content Creator" award at Token2049 in Singapore has deleted his X account after being accused of using bots to manipulate his stats.
Professor Crypto was honored with the Key Opinion Leader (KOL) award last night at a side event at Token2049.
He then shared this success on X.
ZachXBT looked into the influencer's stats and according to investigator Onchain, he used thousands of bots.
“It might be a good idea to fire the thousands of bots you use on all social media platforms to fool people into thinking you have influence.”
says ZachXBT.
He then cited CFTC law that states that "no person shall sell or purchase false indicators of influence on social media, such as followers or views generated by a bot or hijacked account."
The effect is clear and sounds like a confession for Professor Crypto who deleted his X account shortly afterwards.

Phantom, Solana’s most widely used wallet provider, has drawn criticism from some users for charging fees on in-app token swaps.
While some disgruntled community members attacked Phantom, voices across the Solana ecosystem came to the wallet’s defence. Reigniting debate around business models in the Web3 world, Phantom’s supporters argue that the platform has a right to generate revenue.
In an industry where meme coin presales can raise over $40M , is it fair to attack businesses providing essential services for charging easily avoidable fees?
SOLANA COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLAIN ABOUT 0.85% SWAP FEE
Frustrated Solana users have taken to 𝕏 to air their grievances about Phantom’s in-app swap fees. The public outrage came following circulation of data suggesting that the wallet provider generated over $30M in revenue through token swaps.
Comparisons between quotes between wallets and DEX aggregator Jupiter only added further fuel to the fire. Perhaps spurred on by stagnant market conditions, commentators on social media remarked that discrepancies between swaps provided by Phantom and Jupiter were “actually ridiculous.”
Eagle-eyed users remarked that the data wasn’t wholly accurate. Galactic Geckos founder Genuine Articles highlighted that the $30M figure was lower than expected, before Fabiano.sol, the influencer who originally shared the data, acknowledged that Phantom would’ve generated over $10M through in-app token swaps in 2021 alone.
While it’s obvious that traders can access better rates by using platforms like Jupiter directly, can Wallet providers be blamed for charging fees on value-added services?
Is the Slander Against Phantom Justified?
Content creator and former Phantom team member Seb Montgomery countered the attacks levied against Phantom. Arguing that every business has operational costs that need paid, Montgomery asserted that “Dapps, apps, wallets, etc. need revenue or they close up shop, and head home.”
Hammering his points home, Montgomery reminded Solana users of their double standards. The content creator highlighted how network participants were willing to provide over $40M to the $WATER memecoin presale, but criticized an 0.8% fee on services offered by one of Solana’s longest-standing products.
“You have probably lost $1000s on the pure rubbish. So don't be a clown and not support the wallets that make it all possible.” - Seb Montgomery
Montgomery also acknowledged that Solana owes much of its success to Phantom. Paying homage to Phantom’s position as Solana’s most widely used wallet, Montgomery asserted “Without Phantom, Solana's success would not have been anywhere near where it got to.”
WHICH WALLET GIVES THE BEST VALUE ON SWAPS?
While traders and users looking for the best rates should always go directly to decentralized exchanges or aggregators, it’s also worth knowing the various in-app swap rates of different wallets.
Fuse Wallet - 0%
Solflare - 0.8%
Phantom - 0.85%
Backpack - 0.85%
It should also be noted that all Solana wallets route their trades through Jupiter. Solana’s leading DEX aggregator typically offers the best rates on trades and allows third-party apps to add fees onto swaps.
Despite some traders expressing frustration, Phantom and other wallet providers have always been transparent and forthcoming about in-app swap fees. Using wallet-based swaps is completely optional and easily bypassed. Trader’s complaints are hardly unresolved.

After years of development behind the scenes, the Paladin team is finally showing its hand. Proposing a more egalitarian approach to MEV rewards, Paladin aims to discourage MEV frontrunners and provide an alternative that is more profitable for everyone.
With MEV bots reportedly extracting millions from Solana DEX markets every month, Paladin might just be the knight in shining armor that Solana DeFi needs.
Fully decentralized, open-source, and permissionless, Paladin’s mission is to eliminate predatory MEV on Solana. But how does it work?
THE PALADIN BOT
Designed to run within the Jito client, the Paladin bot is a fast open-source arbitrage bot. It runs locally in a validator and only operates when that particular validator is the leader.
The Paladin bot relies on three distinct features to improve a validator’s APY (Annual Percentage Yield):
- Atomic Arb Bot - Not to be confused with a frontrunning sandwich bot, Paladin is a high-performance arbitrage bot that is faster than external searchers.
- CeFi/DeFi Arb - Leveraging a permissionless DeFi bulletin board that communicates directly with slot leaders, Paladin is able to capture MEV through CeFi/DeFi price discrepancies.
- PALAggregator - Running exclusively within the leader, Paladin bot knows with certainty the exact price of every asset in real time. The bot can use this advantage to find a better path on trades and share the surplus rewards with the wallet that executed the transaction.
Essentially, the Paladin bot is a powerful tool that is altruistically employed to benefit and incentivize honest validator behavior.
To reap the benefits of Paladin, validators need to operate the Paladin bot, which in turn rewards holders and stakers of the protocol's native token, PAL.
PALADIN REWARD DYNAMICS - THE PAL TOKEN
Breaking the trend of providing speculative governance tokens, Paladin has opted for a more tangible token economy driven genuine value accrual.
PAL, the protocol’s native token, serves as the means by which MEV rewards are distributed to stakers and validators running the Paladin Bot, or ‘Palidators’.
MEV rewards captured by Palidators are distributed as follows:
- 90% is returned to the leader
- 5% is directed to Palidators and their stakers, proportionate to the amount of SOL staked
- 5% is passed to PAL token holders. However, given that 50% is airdropped to validators and PAL stakers, unstaked PAL holders receive 2.5%
While PAL is not a governance token, it does play a crucial role in the ecosystem outside of reward distribution. If Palidators are believed to be operating dishonestly, PAL stakers can vote to slash that Palidator’s stake, burning its PAL.
The protocol aims to distribute MEV rewards among honest ecosystem contributors in a way that everyone wins, as opposed to a competitive scramble for larger pieces of the MEV pie.
Despite a relatively muted social presence, the Paladin launch is generating excitement behind closed doors. In an exclusive statement with SolanaFloor, Paladin representative Uri Klarman revealed that “8% of Solana stake have committed to being a launch partner and run Paladin ahead of the launch.”
Additionally, the protocol has plenty of resources to encourage continued development and expansion from ecosystem developers.
According to Klarman, a budget of $5M per year has been committed to continued development, meaning that ecosystem developers may be sufficiently inspired to expand Paladin beyond the Jito client to Firedancer and any subsequent clients in the future.
Paladin’s unique approach to MEV and reward distribution acknowledges that it’s impossible to prevent validators from frontrunning transactions. However, should the Paladin protocol prove successful, its reward structure would be a more economical alternative, hopefully making Solana an efficient DeFi ecosystem for all users.
With MEV bots reportedly extracting millions from Solana DEX markets every month, Paladin might just be the knight in shining armor that Solana DeFi needs.
Fully decentralized, open-source, and permissionless, Paladin’s mission is to eliminate predatory MEV on Solana. But how does it work?
THE PALADIN BOT
Designed to run within the Jito client, the Paladin bot is a fast open-source arbitrage bot. It runs locally in a validator and only operates when that particular validator is the leader.
The Paladin bot relies on three distinct features to improve a validator’s APY (Annual Percentage Yield):
- Atomic Arb Bot - Not to be confused with a frontrunning sandwich bot, Paladin is a high-performance arbitrage bot that is faster than external searchers.
- CeFi/DeFi Arb - Leveraging a permissionless DeFi bulletin board that communicates directly with slot leaders, Paladin is able to capture MEV through CeFi/DeFi price discrepancies.
- PALAggregator - Running exclusively within the leader, Paladin bot knows with certainty the exact price of every asset in real time. The bot can use this advantage to find a better path on trades and share the surplus rewards with the wallet that executed the transaction.
Essentially, the Paladin bot is a powerful tool that is altruistically employed to benefit and incentivize honest validator behavior.
To reap the benefits of Paladin, validators need to operate the Paladin bot, which in turn rewards holders and stakers of the protocol's native token, PAL.
PALADIN REWARD DYNAMICS - THE PAL TOKEN

⚡️Trump promises SPACE growth for crypto! The ex-president is rocking out at the Bitcoin 2024 conference - “bitcoin will overtake gold in capitalization,” and the United States will become the crypto capital of the world.
Trump’s first decision will be to fire the chairman of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) - it is this organization that is stopping the development of crypto business in the world.
Secondly, the government will stop selling confiscated bitcoins and create a powerful strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies. This will lead to insane growth!
The USA, as usual, is doing everything right, while many other countries are “chewing snot”. After all, that’s why they are capitalists 👍💪🏻

Atsuko Sato was catapulted into history when a picture of her Shiba Inu, Kabuso, became one of internet culture’s most iconic memes.
Shortly after the death of the internet’s favorite pooch, Sato has again lit a fire under the cryptocurrency market by adopting a new dog. Named Neiro, the announcement of Sato’s second Shiba inspired a frenzy of onchain activity.

July 19th’s devastating IT outage left hundreds of businesses across the world scrambling to provide basic services. A software bug that was prematurely pushed to production wrought havoc across the globe, temporarily shutting down banks, airlines, and essential services.
Cryptocurrency may not have been a solution to this particular problem, but the event still exposed the vulnerabilities and flaws of our reliance on centralized infrastructure.
What makes DePINs more resilient than centralized alternatives and why is Solana so well-equipped to support decentralized infrastructure?
SECURITY THROUGH DECENTRALIZATION
One of the fundamental staples of the cryptocurrency industry, decentralization is key to avoiding singular points of failure. Drawing resources and infrastructure from distributed sources makes any entity vastly more robust.
Despite detractors arguing that the network is dangerously centralized, Solana has proven its critics wrong, establishing itself as one of the industry’s most decentralized blockchains. A common and admittedly simplified measure of network decentralization, Solana boasts a Nakamoto Coefficient that surpasses the bulk of its rivals.
However, where Solana gains its edge is through the development of alternative validator clients. Barring Ethereum, most Layer One blockchains rely on one sole validator client. Ironically, if a software bug was pushed to production, as was the case with the CrowdStrike outage, these blockchains could also fall victim to a complete network outage.
On the other hand, Solana is on track to eliminate this vulnerability. The network currently hosts two independent validator clients. Solana’s network resilience will go to new heights with the deployment of Jump Crypto’s Firedancer client, which completely rewrites the network into a different programming language from scratch, eliminating the risk of one bug affecting various clients.
Not only is Solana becoming more decentralized by the day, but the network’s thriving DePIN sector is witnessing unrivaled adoption.
SOLANA LEADS REAL WORLD DePIN ADOPTION
Crypto’s DePIN sector is vague. Despite deploying zero infrastructure and offering no proof-of-concept, hundreds of different projects are categorized as DePIN protocols by various blockchain data sites.
For example, CoinMarketCap’s DePIN category features over 140 different DePIN projects but includes Layer 1 blockchains like Internet Computer (ICP). DePinScan, a research tool operated by IoTeX, lists 262 DePin cryptocurrency projects. Other resources, like EV3’s depin.ninja platform, suggests over 300 DePIN protocols are being built on Ethereum alone.
With such ambiguity surrounding what defines a DePIN network, how can we track the manner in which DePINs are actually being deployed and used?
Physical Infrastructure. Among hundreds of supposed DePIN projects, which protocols can individuals see first-hand through real-world devices or Proof-of-Concept?
According to EV3, Solana-based projects dominate their competitors in terms of active node deployments, with projects like Helium, Hivemapper, and Natix each operating hundreds of thousands of devices.
Courtesy of its unmatched scalability and performance, the Solana network is a natural choice for businesses looking to deploy DePINs. In the current blockchain landscape, no other blockchain is adequately equipped to support the data transmission of hundreds of thousands of devices without suffering debilitating latency issues and gas spikes.
Additionally, Solana benefits from the widespread use of mobile devices. Solana Saga, the network’s Web 3 phone, sold out following a collaboration with BONK and the second iteration has been preordered over 140,000 times.
With the future of the internet expected to be driven by mobile-first usage, the Solana network is ideally placed to establish itself as the leading chain for DePIN protocols.

AMERICA AND BITCOIN
A historical speech. Here is Donald Trump's full speech at the Bitcoin Conference with timestamps and transcript.
TIMESTAMPS
1:36 - Shoutouts to David Bailey, Winklevosses, Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Ron Paul and Rand Paul, Vivek, and the victims of the July 13 assassination attempt.
7:00 - How Bitcoin rose from an idea on an anonymous message board to the 9th most valuable asset in the world.
10:00 - America is a nation in decline, and we cannot let China dominate Bitcoin. The US must lead in tech, science, manufacturing, AI, space, and power generation.
14:50 - Bitcoin will be mined, minted, and made in the USA. If it goes to the moon, it'll get there from America.
16:20 - How the Biden/Harris administration has waged war on crypto for the last three and a half years, by choking off banking support.
22:00 - The Biden/Harris administration is against Bitcoin, because it stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.
25:00 - The day Trump takes the oath of office, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto crusade will be done. He will fire Gary Gensler on day one!
27:57 - Trump commits to immediately shutting down Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and creating a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council. In 100 days, fair rules written by people who want crypto to thrive.
29:28 - There will never be a CBDC. And he will defend the right to self-custody, freedom of transaction, freedom of association, and freedom of speech.
30:25 - He'll support USD stablecoins and global savings in Bitcoin. And he recognizes that the behavior of the current US government is the threat to the dollar, not Bitcoin.
35:30 - Biden/Harris has presided over the biggest inflation in the history of America.
38:30 - Inflation destroyed Weimar Germany. Bitcoiners understood inflation better than anyone else. Inflation is stealth taxation, a national disgrace.
43:30 - Make the US the lowest cost energy producer in the world, given its natural resources, and turn it into a Bitcoin mining powerhouse. Americans will not need to move to China.
44:20 - The US government has violated the cardinal rule: never sell your Bitcoin. He will stop the US government from selling its Bitcoin. This will serve as the core of the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.
46:00 - He will commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.
46:26 - He commits to becoming the pro-innovation, pro-Bitcoin, and pro-tech president that America deserves. And will make America and Bitcoin stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.

Jump Crypto’s eagerly awaited Firedancer client has achieved a key milestone, sparking excitement for its future launch.
Perhaps the biggest network update in Solana history, Jump Crypto’s Firedancer validator client draws closer to mainnet launch every day.
While still operating in a testnet environment, Jump Crypto’s Firedancer validator client has made waves in the Solana ecosystem. After years of development work, the full validator client confirmed its inaugural accepted block at 23:07 UTC.

The Legacy of Zuzalu: One Year Later 🌇
Can the ephemeral city experiment inspired by Vitalik live on?
One year ago this week, our very own
TrustlessState shared details about his experience living with some of crypto’s brightest minds in the ephemeral city called Zuzalu.
You can read David's full breakdown of his experience below:
👉 http://bankless.cc/David_Z...
This popup city housed over 200 people from diverse regions and fields for two months. David conducted a number of interviews with fellow attendees during this time on topics spanning zero-knowledge proofs, longevity and biotech, network states, and public goods. You can check out those conversations below.
👉 http://bankless.cc/ZuzaluC...
Inspired and initiated by VitalikButerin, Zuzalu blended structure and spontaneity to construct a successful experiment, but almost immediately after the ephemeral city dispersed, attendees wondered how they could keep the fire of Zuzalu alive and continue to offer places for the ethos of Ethereum to connect with disparate emerging technologies.
Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to since 👇
🏡 The Rise of Zu-Villages
The success of Zuzalu sparked interest in continuing the concept of crypto pop-up cities called Zu-villages.
Earlier this year, a gitcoin grants program offered 250 ETH in funding for creating Zu-villages and Zu-related technology. The round ran from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15, providing funding for 32 events like JoinEdgeCity, Esmerelda and ZuBerlinCity, which are currently running or have just finished, and 28 tools like ZupassProject and MuseMatrix_, a DeSci research institute.
Many of these tie into Zuzalu City, a community hub for Zu-villages and related software, including a calendar of pop-up cities like the few we've highlighted below:
Edge Esmeralda
The ongoing Edge Esmeralda is a month-long popup village focused on incubating novel technologies and new ways of living, aiming to build a foundation for a permanent new town, Esmeralda, around Healdsburg, CA. With $217K in funding from the Zuzalu grants round, Esmeralda put together a series of events centered around human organization, robotics, artificial intelligence, real-world crypto applications, and health and longevity.
The rise of Zu-villages illustrates the enduring impact of Zuzalu, with these pop-up cities continuing to foster collaboration, technological advancement, and a decentralized way of living across the globe.
These pop-up villages demonstrate a model where individuals can co-live, co-work, and co-create, blurring the lines between professional collaboration and communal living to create atmospheres aligned with personal sovereignty and collective problem-solving. The transient nature of these communities allows for flexibility and adaptability, where new ideas can be tested and refined in real time.
It highlights a future where governance is more fluid, technology enhances participants' health, and community building is a continuous, evolving process.
By providing spaces for like-minded individuals to come together, Zuzalu and its successors create fertile ground for social experimentation and technological innovation. They embody the spirit of decentralized, autonomous living, further reflecting the broader societal trends towards alternative lifestyles in the digital age. Overall, the legacy of Zuzalu lies in its ability to inspire and enact a vision of a forward-thinking world, where dynamic, transient communities can thrive and innovate, and tech and health exist in harmony.
