Mert will also judge the upcoming NEAR Hackathon, alongside @ilblackdragon and builders and investors from a16z crypto, Electric Capital, Dragonfly, and more. Build cross-chain markets and agentic apps on NEAR, with confidentiality as a core primitive. Submissions open November 1st to 14th.
Helius CEO @mert has joined the NEAR Foundation Council, NEAR Foundation’s governing body. An early NEAR Intents user and leading voice on privacy, Mert brings an operator’s view to how NEAR builds and grows. “For crypto to win, we need connected, unstoppable liquidity at planetary scale. A market of markets. Neither Solana, Zcash, or Bitcoin can win on their own, we must work together. And NEAR is how." near.org/blog/mert-mumtaz-jo…

you will make much more money figuring out what may go right rather than what may go wrong the former requires a willingness to look foolish, which is why most people are afraid of it

Know your rights. @solana is becoming the home of tokenized stocks, and Orb is built to help you navigate them. One stock can have many versions. See what each one represents, what rights it gives you, and how redemption works.

Scaling Zcash to Visa-level throughput requires a next-generation networking stack. We're excited to share P2Pv2, which you can try out today in Zakura! zakura.com/engineering/p2pv2…

One of Mert's favorite use cases for Zcash is private donations to Roman Storm, where he says the majority of contributions on Storm's donation website are made in $ZEC “One of my favorite use cases that we were talking about, now that we're talking about Satoshi, is Roman Storm” “If you look at his donations on his donation website, the majority are in Zcash” “That's a perfect use case of private money, which is politically sensitive donations to people who are fighting against the actual criminals who are the ones banning open source code” “That's a particularly favorite use case of mine” w/ @mert

Not only do you get quantum unlinkability today, but it’s also the secret for scalable payments in tachyon! This is how all “payment request” flows will work too So it’s already in your wallets well before tachyon arrive
How we’re making Zcash quantum unlinkable through the use of one-time IVKs! In this video, I talk about how sharing your shielded address opens you up to a specific quantum attack, and how we solved this linkage for a common feature you probably exposed yourself to already.

Preconfs are now live for all paid plans Use preconfSubscribe to stream the earliest onchain signals and see Solana transactions before they're shredded We also added 4 new filters: source (Helius/BAM), signer (include/exclude), signatures, and instructions Have fun
NEW: Preconfirmations See transactions the moment a validator commits to executing them That's 5-50 milliseconds BEFORE transactions are turned into shreds, and the earliest a tx can be observed on Solana All delivered via one new WebSocket subscription: preconfSubscribe
