Notes from the show

We are joined by the Mert, the vocal Solana supporter and founder of Helius.xyz

As a former Coinbase employee, we got Mert’s take on the recent SEC action/notice. We talk about Mert’s spicy twitter life and the role he plays in the Solana (and broader crypto ecosystem).

Mert shares some of his thoughts on what blockchain products are good at doing, and maybe some things that are over-rated or over-hyped.

And then compression: we talk about State Compression on Solana, and the
 perspective of handling the compression from the side of indexing providers and developer platforms.

A “PS” Note from Mert: Grifter’s exist throughout the world, not just in crypto.

Show Mert some love in the internet:

What does it actually take to build a meaningful project in the fast-moving world of Solana? On the Solfate Podcast, hosts Nick and James pull back the curtain on the process, moving beyond hype to explore the real work happening on-chain. As developers actively building in the ecosystem themselves, they bring a practitioner's perspective to every conversation. Each episode features an in-depth interview with a founder or core builder, delving into the technical hurdles, strategic decisions, and personal journeys that define their work. You'll hear firsthand accounts of architecting protocols, designing tokenomics, navigating community growth, and solving the unique challenges presented by high-performance blockchain technology. The discussions are grounded, detailed, and focused on the mechanics of creation, offering listeners a genuine look at the innovation shaping Solana's future. This isn't about surface-level commentary; it's a series of deep dives for anyone curious about the people and code behind the projects. Tune in for candid insights you won't find anywhere else, straight from the developers on the front lines.
