Notes from the show

James is out for the week, but Nick is joined by Shek, the founder of Worcel and the Gum protocol.

Shek shares his reasoning for founding Wordcel, the Solana native blogging platform. And how that later evolved into the Gum protocol.


We dive into some of the more technical aspects oh how Wordcel works under the hood, and the potential scaling issues of indexing the Gum protocol once it uses State Compression.

Shek also explain a recent initiative on Solana: session keys. 


Show Shek 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.
