Practical guides, in-depth technical pieces, and lessons from real projects.
Kamino opened Institutional Commodity Yield, a USDC vault targeting 7% to 8% APY by financing short-term commodity trades instead of lending against crypto collateral. It launched with a $25 million deposit cap, routes capital through a fund supervised by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, and publishes the full loan portfolio in the vault UI.
Credible Finance closed the first ICO ever routed through the Colosseum STAMP, drawing $32,775,016 in commitments from 790 contributors before the team accepted roughly $4 million and refunded the rest. The STAMP replaces the usual SAFE plus token warrant with a single instrument that makes the token the only economic claim, handing the treasury and IP to MetaDAO's decision markets at launch.
MoonPay has launched PayBox, a non-custodial payment vault that lets Claude and ChatGPT users trade on Solana and pay merchants through plain conversation. Wallet keys are split across hardware-isolated enclaves using MPC from Sodot, so the agent can propose a transaction but a passkey is still required to sign it.
Ramp has opened Stablecoin Accounts and stablecoin Bill Pay to all 70,000+ of its business customers, with Solana among the seven supported networks. Businesses can hold USDC or USDT, pay vendors from that balance, and settle in seconds rather than the three to five days a SWIFT wire takes.
Raydium has launched Permissioned AMMs, a new pool type that lets issuers of KYC-gated and regulated assets trade on Solana's deepest liquidity without building a venue of their own. Superstate, an SEC-registered transfer agent, is the first service partner to integrate.
Altitude launched Altitude Accounting, a crypto accounting automation tool that classifies every transaction and syncs it to QuickBooks Online, cutting manual reconciliation at month-end.
Melee has published the litepaper for its Parimutuel Market Maker (PMM), a Solana liquidity design that gives any prediction market a tradable price from the first dollar, with no professional market makers. Here's how the PMM fixes what broke AMMs, order books, and classic parimutuel pools.
MagicBlock and MonkeFoundry have launched Forge, a VIP builder program pairing Solana founders with 1:1 engineering mentorship, VIP access to ecosystem leaders, and a shot at the IRL Hacker House.
