We're partnering with DoubleZero Foundation and Anza to bring together some of the biggest brains and biggest yappers in Solana. Wine selection handpicked by DoubleZero's resident sommelier, Austin Federa. October 16th in NYC: https://luma.com/mpxicf6z

In 2019, the SEC blocked Cboe’s request to experiment with a 4ms delay on the EDGA Exchange. The experiment was designed to reduce toxic flow and improve liquidity. Too “discriminatory,” they said. Traditional finance can’t meaningfully test new market structures. But on Solana, we can. Introducing Asynchronous Market Queues (AMQs). With Application Controlled Execution (ACE) via Asynchronous Market Queues (AMQs), apps choose their execution order without requiring a protocol change. This yields policy-aware sequencing, tighter spreads, and better fills. ACE through AMQs offers a powerful primitive for Solana applications. By moving away from pure first-come-first-serve ordering, applications can create more sophisticated mechanisms that benefit specific application goals.

Solana now processes ~35 million trades daily 📈👀 That's getting closer to NASDAQ, which processes ~55M trades in daily. Many institutional investors and onlookers still think publc blockchains can't handle real trading volume. The data says otherwise. (sources: NASDAQ, Top Ledger) Today's numbers: — Solana: 35 million trades — NASDAQ: ~53.6 million trades — Tokyo Stock Exchange: ~5 million — Hong Kong Exchange: ~2.5 million — London Stock Exchange: ~600,000 Solana is processing more trades per day than most major regional stock exchanges combined. With near instant settlement. 24/7 operations. And transaction costs measured in fractions of pennies. The new Flip the Market Dashboard tracks daily executed NASDAQ trades and volume in real-time, comparing them directly to all executed trades on Solana. The dashboard syncs daily data from both networks, giving you a transparent view of exactly how these numbers stack up. Global financial infrasctructure for everyone continues to accelerate.

I had every intention of taking a long break from crypto. Wanted to spend time with the normie side of life- friends, family, tennis, golf. But then I met one of the most exciting teams in this space and cut my break short. Today, I join Temporal as General Counsel. I get to work with one of the smartest teams in Solana and work on projects like Nozomi (IYKYK and if you don't, you will). We're not just tinkering on the edges- we are building the kind of infrastructure that will power the next era of DeFi and beyond. The stuff we're building might actually change the industry! I'm incredibly grateful for my time at Wormhole Foundation. To my team and the broader Wormhole family, thank you for the trust and collaboration while we built together. It was a privilege. Looking forward to this next chapter of building at the very core of the Solana ecosystem. Big things ahead!
