“Settlement times used to be 500 milliseconds to a second. Today it's 100 milliseconds or 200 milliseconds.”
“This is only going to get faster. This is the slowest [Solana] will ever be.”
– @buffalu__, CEO @jito

before AI, I could somewhat understand crypto people complain about the industry their whole life is centered around
but now, you have no excuse
instead of crying all day, you may simply build the solutions you wish to see by speaking english to a supermachine

Let’s clear some things up.
- no one can “kick you” out of the Solana ecosystem - you can choose not to build somewhere but that’s on you.
- build on infra because your customers need it and it helps you get to PMF.
- Solana Labs is just another company shipping products on Solana. They are not the L1.
Should you be worried when they launch a product competing with yours - yes 😂 that company is run by killer entrepreneurs.
But even then that should not impact your strategy. PMF is the North Star and there are many paths to get there.
Everything else is a distraction
I feel like so many people complaining the last few days should read about Stoicism and start owning what they can control.

My real blocker in launching products is finding more PMs/ceos that can be obsessive in the pre pmf phase. I think of PMs as CEOs.
Nearly everything you build will fail. The only variable under your control is how fast you iterate and keep pushing, and without a lead that can actually do this for 2 cycles, you are order magnitude less likely to succeed.
My advice to startup founders is that post pmf companies look completely different then pre pmf.
Pre pmf CEO/product lead needs to micro manage and get into everyone’s business. Until the people revolt because they are so busy dealing with actual growth problems and know better than the CEO.
I was force pushing code and telling ICs what to code until one by one the demand was breaking things that they knew how to fix better than me.
The best I can say is that all my ideas were directionally right and the ways they were wrong were fixable later.

an entire L1 blockchain is preparing to migrate to Solana!
@ZetaChain plans to shut down its Layer 1 on December 9 and move $ZETA to solana, pending governance approval.
here's the breakdown:
- $ZETA migrates 1:1 as a native Solana token.
- existing holders retain their token balances.
- ~55M ZETA in undistributed emissions scheduled for burning in 2027.
governance voting closes November 7.
another interesting example of projects choosing Solana's existing infrastructure and user ecosystem over maintaining their own chain.
