I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain. You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets. Here's the whole thing: > Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code > Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it > Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it > Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this" > Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again. Full step-by-step guide with Claude and Obsidian, link below. Bookmark this

AI + Solana narrative. $SAID is attacking something foundational which is autonomous agents with verifiable onchain identity and reputation on Solana. Basically every agent on Solana will be using SAID to verify. Said = Solana Agent Identity. Currently any agent operating on Solana is just the wallet. SAID solves this by giving AI agents on Solana a verifiable identity. @solana @toly @x402
The on-chain agent economy is heating up: •⁠ ⁠OpenClaw creator joined OpenAI •⁠ ⁠Stripe integrated x402 for agent payments •⁠ ⁠Agentic AI market: $7B → $200B by 2034 But AI agents operating in web3 are anonymous wallets. SAID Protocol is fixing this on @solana. 🧵

GM DEGEN! @intodotspace x Helius Labs Space has officially entered a technical partnership with Helius Labs, making Helius the official onchain data streaming partner for Space 🚀 Helius Labs is a leading infrastructure platform on Solana, providing developers with fast, reliable data tools from RPC nodes and APIs to real-time data streaming services. Thanks to this partnership, Space can now access accurate, real-time on-chain data directly from the Solana network without having to build and maintain its own data infrastructure. This is especially important for products that rely on instant information such as trading platforms, prediction markets, and Web3 applications. With Helius powering its data layer, Space becomes: More stable More trustworthy Higher performing It’s a foundational upgrade that strengthens Space at the infrastructure level, setting it up for long-term scalability and reliability. @MindoAI

Hey, if you're building anything on Solana, you gotta check out @heliuslabs The founder @mert is a former Coinbase engineer with a solid background in applied math and high performance systems. He's one of the biggest Solana advocates out there and built Helius with all that experience. What do they offer? Super fast RPCs, enriched APIs with metadata (like NFT and token details through DAS Assets), priority fee calculations, transaction parsing, real time webhooks, upgraded WebSockets, gRPC streaming... They handle hundreds of millions of requests every day across global nodes with low latency, and they've got 24/7 support. It makes the jump from Web2 to Solana way easier for developers. Basically, it's one of the go to infrastructure picks for serious projects. By the way, I've been following @KaitoAI too they're doing amazing work cleaning up the info overload in Web3. They pull meaningful insights from thousands of sources (Twitter, Discord, podcasts, research papers, etc.) using AI and catch narratives instantly. If they ever integrated with Helius, it would be absolute gold for Solana devs. Would love to see that happen. How about you are you using Helius? What do you think @solana looks like in 2026? helius.dev

💼 Remember when Solana Company (ex-Helius Medical) rebranded into digital assets with Pantera backing? Fast-forward: their $500M PIPE shares ($6.881) just unlocked — while the stock’s now below that price. 😬 📉 Down 70% from post-PIPE highs, -11% Monday alone. Looks like another “buy the rumor, sell the rebrand” moment. Is the story of DATs really came to a end? Or what's waiting for us forward?🤔 👉 Join the discussion: sosovalue.com/shares/FmL9D9 #HSDT #PanteraCapital #SolanaCompany #DigitalAssets #Rebrand #PIPE #Stocks #CryptoFinance #SoSoValue #DATs #CryptoInsights

A product that has turned heads, introducing @heliuslabs Helius Labs: The Infrastructure Powering Solana’s Next Wave Helius is the go-to backend for Solana developers. It offers lightning-fast RPC, real time data streaming, rich APIs, and tools that abstract the complexity of on-chain development so builders can ship faster and scale with confidence. From globally distributed RPCs to real-time event streams via LaserStream and filtered WebSockets, Helius delivers the deepest access to Solana data decoded, enriched, and optimized for performance. Their token, NFT, and transaction APIs remove the guesswork for devs who want precision. Getting started is effortless. You get a million free credits just for signing up. Grab your API key, plug it into your app or wallet config, and you’re live. Want webhook alerts when a wallet receives an NFT? Done. Need low latency streaming for a trading bot? LaserStream has you. Their dev experience feels like Solana with training wheels fast, clear, and powerful. From experience, using Helius will transform how you interact with Solana. I used to wrestle with raw RPC logs and patchy error handling. With Helius, everything is parsed, readable, and designed to work out of the box. It’s like upgrading from a toolkit to a power toolset. Now the people behind it? That’s where it gets even better. @mert , co-founder and CEO, is one of the most respected voices in the Solana ecosystem. Technical, responsive, and relentlessly focused on dev UX. @liamvovk brings deep backend knowledge and helps drive the engine under the hood. @nick_pennie rounds out the trio with product vision and developer-first instincts. Together, they’ve built something that genuinely elevates the chain. If you’re building on Solana and not using Helius yet, you’re probably doing too much work. This is the dev layer Solana deserves. Clean, fast, and built by people who live and breathe the chain. Try it once, your debugger will thank you.
