Inside @hackerhouses London with @brimigs. Builders, workshops, and a room full of people shipping on Solana.
probably nothing
Solana replaced its consensus protocol in October. Alpenglow went live on mainnet on the 21st, targeting ~150ms finality.
October was a month of records across network speed, tokenized assets, payments, and institutional access.
Here are a few figures that mattered:
ALT Solana in Numbers, October 2026. Six metrics: $5B RWA value (all-time high), $60B DEX trading volume, 14M stablecoin-holding addresses, $1B cumulative stablecoin card spending, 200ms target slot time, 150ms target finality (Alpenglow).

Daren Guo, co-founder of Reap, on the token supercycle.
“Imagine you’re a CFO in Peru buying electronics from Hong Kong. Moving funds through the existing banking network in Latin America is fundamentally very hard. That’s where there’s a ton of value using stablecoins.”
“We should not spend based on the traditional concept of money. It should be based on any asset you can tokenize. Cards and spending let people feel what that onchain asset can do for them.”

solana labs builds products on @solana.
we’ve often heard demand for an app that prioritizes:
- disciplined, long-term investing
- solana-native assets
- harnessing solana performance
- instant rollout of latest standards
solana is intensely competitive, and we are likely to fail. but we’re uniquely aligned to deliver a product that we would want for ourselves, that’s impeccably (and maybe sometimes over-) designed, and that is relentlessly user- and network-aligned.
let’s go let’s go, let us know what you think!

One of my favorite parts of the last year working for @solana was getting the opportunity to write, produce and even generate video content as part of the new media team.
Since video work is not what I'm most known for, I wanted to put together a thread to show some of my favorites and give some thoughts on how they came about.

Speaking at @SolanaEvents Breakpoint next week in London about why the UK is perfectly positioned to win the global technology race 🇬🇧
Looking forward to seeing all the homies.
I can’t help but ask, what do we think of Tottenham?
More exciting Breakpoint 2026 speakers are confirmed.
Baroness Gray of Tottenham joins leaders from Mastercard, Western Union, Ramp & more on the Breakpoint stage in London this November.

If you’re an organizer, operator, or adventurer in the Solana ecosystem with an interesting story, I would love to spotlight you along the way
Tell me a story (about you or a friend)👇
One thing I like about @solana is how many people contribute to the ecosystem without writing a single line of code. Organizers, designers, creators, mentors, community leads... none of this grows on technology alone. Nice to see some of them getting recognition ahead of Breakpoint.
This week’s saves on IG (better late than ever)
