Solana Mobile has launched the USDC Earn Vault in Seed Vault Wallet, giving Seeker owners a one-tap way to earn variable yield on USDC through Kamino's SOL/BTC lending market. It routes 95% of deposits into the lending pool and keeps 5% in reserve, with no lockup, no minimum deposit, and a flat 0.25% annual fee already netted out of the APY on your home tab.
Anchor v2.0.0-rc.1 is a complete rewrite of Solana's most widely used program framework, rebuilt on Pinocchio with binaries over 90% smaller and compute costs three to six times lower than v1. The release candidate ships coverage-guided fuzzing through Crucible, plus a profiler, a step debugger, and LCOV coverage as first-class CLI subcommands.
Rain has launched the Agentic Payments Alliance, a coalition of more than two dozen founding members including Visa, Mastercard, Solana, Circle, and Fiserv, to set shared standards for how AI agents make payments on a user's behalf. The group operates as a collective working group rather than a Rain-owned project, with early work covering agent identity, authorization, fraud detection, and regulatory advocacy ahead of a market McKinsey projects at $3 trillion to $5 trillion by 2030.
Solana Mobile has launched a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and Bug Bounty Program that pays researchers up to $75,000 in SKR for critical vulnerabilities in Seed Vault, SKR's onchain programs, and Seeker Genesis Token infrastructure. Rewards are paid under a signed Award Agreement across four severity tiers, and a separate Security Grants program launched alongside it.
