JUST FUCKING USE SOLANA.
Ship real apps with sub‑second UX, fraction‑of‑a‑cent fees, and tooling that doesn’t hate you. Stop debating blockspace on X and just build something that fucking works.
Want to see where the network is actually heading? Go watch the Breakpoint talks and stop listening to mid-curvers.
Why Solana?
Sub‑second UX
Fast slots and quick confirmation means your app feels like a normal product, not a science project.
Fees that don’t bully you
No $40 swaps, no “gas wars”, no UX hostage situation. You can actually do micro‑stuff.
Firedancer Speed
The new independent validator client is rewriting the game. 1M+ TPS in testing means the floor is moving up whether you’re ready or not.
Token Extensions
Use Token‑2022 extensions (metadata, transfer fees, transfer hooks, confidential transfer, etc.) instead of duct‑taping custom token logic.
How to Fucking Start
Set up your dev environment
Pick a client SDK (and stop overthinking it)
pnpm add @solana/kitWatch the Breakpoint Talks
Common Excuses
But is it decentralized?
Yes. It’s a permissionless PoS network with a real validator set. If your bar is “perfect in theory”, you’ll never ship anything in practice.
What about the outages?
Build like an adult: retries, good RPC, proper confirmation, and sane prioritization during spikes. Don’t blame the chain because you wrote “await sendTransaction” and prayed.
Rust is too hard.
Use Anchor if you want sane ergonomics. Use programs only when you need programs. A lot of apps are just clients + accounts + tokens + a couple instructions. Calm down.
