Notes from the show
The conversation revolves around the introduction of Actions and Blinks, a technology platform and protocol developed by Dialect and Solana Foundation. Actions and Blinks allow users to share Solana anywhere on the internet by unfurling URLs and providing interactive experiences. The idea originated from the concept of smart messages and transaction requests in Solana Pay. The launch of Actions and Blinks was a collaborative effort between Dialect, Solana Foundation, and various wallets.
The discoverability and accessibility of Blinks are limited to specific browsers with wallet extensions installed. However, there are plans to make Blinks more widely available and user-friendly. The conversation explores the challenges and potential of Blinks and Solana Actions in revolutionizing the internet. The guests discuss the uphill battle of creating an open ecosystem in the current environment of mega companies and intentional blockades.
Chris and Nick highlight the power of Blinks in bringing value transfer and interaction to users without leaving the app. The technical nature of Blinks and Solana Actions is explained, emphasizing the backend REST API of Actions and the frontend UI of Blinks. The guests also mention the future possibilities of mobile integration and the importance of developer feedback and collaboration.

Main Kemudian Main Kemudian Senarai Suka DisukaiFull notes for this episode at: https://solfate.com/podcast/62 Follow @SolfatePod on Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/SolfatePod Notes from the show Magic Block is a high-performance engine for fully on-chain games and applications. It aims to make it easy for developers to build entirely on-chain games and leverage the unique features that blockchain offers. The engine uses a hybrid approach between a roll-up and something that runs on Layer 1 to minimize latency and preserve composability. Fully on-chain games are games whose source of truth derives entirely from a blockchain, where state and logic run on-chain. These games offer permissionless composability and become autonomous worlds. Magic Block provides a solution for faster and more scalable on-chain gaming experiences. Magic Block is building a solution called Ephemeral Rollups on Solana that allows for fully on-chain games with high scalability and composability. Ephemeral Rollups are a combination of Solana's high-speed blockchain and a separate execution environment that runs custom operations on specific accounts. This allows for the passage of time and other game mechanics without the need to pay for every state update. Magic Block is also developing the Bolt framework, an entity component system built on top of Anchor, to simplify game development on Solana. The goal is to create a future where everything runs on-chain while preserving composability and a single ecosystem for users, developers, and operators.

Because they are all about the people. Co-founder of the Web3 Builders Alliance, Jeff ( @japarjam ), shares his background of not only coming from outside the tech industry as a traditional educator, but also his experience with cancer. We talk about how the cadets in each WBA cohort have to prove themselves in a few different ways: from simply showing up every day, to their initial screening process. Participants will attend 1 of the 2 sessions a day, spaced 12 hours apart to support builders around the world. Having already completed 2 cohorts, with 11 projects shipped in the first cohort (including 5 global Solana hackathon submissions, they recently started their third cohort. Aside from their clear capability to get code shipped during each cohort (11 projects and 5 hackathon submissions during cohort 1), Jeff and WBA are also cooking a few new opportunities for their graduates. The new “Artisan group” is a small group of WBA graduates that are teaming together for employment by the WBA. These select individuals are going to continue to work together after completing their cohort to continue to build projects for the rest of the Solana ecosystem as part of the new WBA dev shop.

Main Kemudian Main Kemudian Senarai Suka DisukaiFollow the @SolfatePod show on Twitter for updates. Thanks for listening frens :) Notes from the show The creator and lead developer of Solang, Sean Young , a compiler that allow developers to write Solana programs (aka smart contracts) in the Solidity programming language. This has been a multi year effort to allow existing Solidity developers, like all those existing in the Ethereum ecosystem, to use their existing language knowledge to write Solidity smart contracts on the Solana blockchain. Sean describes how he started his developer journey in the blockchain space, starting as writing his own compiler for the Solidity programming language for a EVM compatible blockchain for the purpose of processing traditional documents. Sean began hitting roadblocks when he was trying to add new features into the Solidity language, which is effectively only used for Ethereum and EVM compatible blockchains and maintained by the Ethereum community. As a general overview, Sean describes how a compiler actually works. Including how compilers like Solang and even native Solana uses LLVM toolkit (Low Level Virtual Machine) to maximize compatibility for multiple programming languages. Words and acronyms used throughout the episode solidity - A statically-typed curly-braces programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on Ethereum and most EVM compatible blockchains. EVM - the Ethereum Virtual Machine - essentially the portion of any Ethereum based blockchain that actually runs/executes smart contracts written in the Solidity programming language EIP - Ethereum Improvement Proposals - standards specifying potential new features or processes for Ethereum WASM - Web Assembly - is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine LLVM - Low Level Virtual Machine - a set of compiler and toolchain technologies that can be used to develop a frontend for any programming language and a backend for any instruction set architecture. Solana specific terms (or at least common in the Solana ecosystem): BPF - Berkeley Packet Filter - a technology used in certain computer operating systems for programs that need to, among other things, analyze network traffic. SBF (aka SBPF) - Solana Berkeley Packet Filter - this is a custom implementation of BPF with tweaks for the Solana runtime and SVM SVM - Solana Virtual Machine - the portion of the Solana runtime that actually runs/executes code on the Solana blockchain IDL - Interface Definition Language - generic term for a language that lets a program or object written in one language communicate with another program written in an unknown language Find Sean and Solang online Follow Sean on twitter Solang's documentation Solang getting started guide Follow us around Nick twitter: @nickfrosty github: github.com/nickfrosty website: https://nick.af James twitter: @jamesrp13 github: github.com/jamesrp13 Solfate Podcast twitter: @SolfatePod more podcast episodes: solfate.com/podcast…

Main Kemudian Main Kemudian Senarai Suka DisukaiFollow the @SolfatePod show on Twitter for updates. Thanks for listening frens :) Notes from the show While blockchain is still a new industry, the sub section of “blockchain gaming” is even newer and largely considered a very strong use case of blockchain technology. Michael Wagner , co-founder and CEO of Star Atlas joins to explain how Star Atlas is using the Solana blockchain within the game’s infrastructure and economy. Michael give his backstory of being a life long gamer and working in the financial sector before diving full time into crypto by founding a crypto/cannabis company called Tokes. (which is also a interesting use case for crypto payments due to common restrictions within several countries like the US) We talk about how the Star Atlas intellectual property (IP), like the in game asset, can be used by other creatives and entrepreneurs to create sizable businesses off of. Including physical merchandise, digital goods, and in game merchants. There is an application process for this, but still a very uncommon things for a large scale production like Star Atlas. (Which we think very amazing to see!) Michael describes the 3 different game “applications”, almost like individual game clients, the company is building. Each will allow players to interact with specific parts of the same on chain game data, so they are all still tied to the game. Included with all the on-chain game data is the movement system, which recently had a public stress test in the form of a mini game. Around 10k unique wallets interacted with the Escape Velocity mini game during Star Atlas’ movement stress test (which resulted in around 80 million transactions over 72 days) Finally, we dive deep into the very complex digital economy being built within the game. Including several factors the company is taking into account for growing a truly sustainable economy and carefully fostering it to reach stability. This is especially interesting considering players will have the potential to have sizable monetary value participating within this economy.

The architecture of AllBridge has evolved from mint and burn models to liquidity pools, which provide a more efficient and user-friendly experience. The returns and risks associated with liquidity pools depend on factors such as the amount of liquidity in the pool and the volume of transactions. Allbridge is actively exploring partnerships and integrations with other protocols, and there are plans to introduce governance mechanisms in the future. The integration with Phantom and the use of a bridge aggregator like Li-Fi have expanded the accessibility and options for users. Collaboration with competitors can lead to better solutions for users. B2B solutions for cross-chain protocols could be the future of bridges. Informed decision-making is crucial when participating in liquidity pools. Transparency and openness are essential for building trust in the crypto ecosystem.
