Exciting news for Solana developers! Pinax has launched the beta version of its Firehose and Substreams endpoints for Solana. Why this matters Solana’s high-speed and low-cost transactions make it a prime platform for decentralized applications (dApps). However, accessing and processing the vast amounts of data generated by the network can be a challenge. Pinax’s new endpoints aim to change that…
TL;DR: Vince introduces Talos Linux, a lightweight and secure Linux distribution designed for Kubernetes, demonstrating its installation, configuration, and management capabilities. He shows the Talos Forge tool he created to convince another indexer to try Kubernetes and KubeSpan for creating hybrid clusters. The Q&A addresses topics like control plane setup, bare metal deployment, and comparisons with other tools like Launchpad….
TL;DR: An inspector in The Graph ecosystem discovered and reported an indexer submitting incorrect Proof of Indexing (POI) for unsynced subgraphs. The arbitration process resulted in a slashing penalty for the disputed indexer. This case highlights the crucial role of vigilant community members in maintaining the reliability and fairness of The Graph Network. Imagine uncovering faulty behavior in a decentralized…
TL;DR: The open discussion focused on Blast, an Ethereum L2 based on the OP Stack:- Blast offers native yield for ETH and stablecoins, automatically rebasing account balances.- Gas revenue sharing allows dApps to claim gas fees spent on their contracts.- Running a Blast node is similar to other OP Stack chains, with some specific requirements and considerations. Opening remarks Hello…
From Web 2.0 to web3: a beginner’s guide to the internet’s next chapter. TL;DR: Web3 represents the next evolution of the internet, emphasizing decentralization, user data ownership, and transparency.
