Notes from the show

MadLads mint was hit by a DDOS that delayed mint a full day, and people got rug picture. 

Saga phones just started to be shipped. And news alert: people who did early developer units of the Saga phones get to keep their DVT and a free case for the production phone!


Nick explains a bit of how the many organizations/companies surrounding Solana Labs and Solana Foundation are structured.


The Helium migration has also completed successfully. So huge congratulations to the amazing people involved, including former guest @redacted_noah.


The gents also talk about the new rust based Solana framework, named Nautilus. It’s been making its rounds through twitter and was made by Joe.

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.
