I was an eth guy when the merge happened and I was impressed, but Alpenglow is at a whole other level. Big congrats to the entire @anza_xyz team and everyone in the @solana community that helped support and make this happen.

Dude picks fight. Dude starts losing fight. Dude blames opponent for starting fight. 🤦
They’re trying to destroy the Foundation, all of .org, demanding billions in damages. People ask why I get worked up, it’s because @silverlake_news is trying to drive a knife in the heart of everything that made the web great the past 23 years. The timeline where they win is not a world you’ll want to live in.

My new @Quicknode guide on migrating from web3.js v1 to v3. Check it out:
web3.js v3 is out, and it’s powered by Solana Kit! You get Kit’s internals (WebCrypto signing, typed RPC, bigint everywhere, no Buffer polyfill) behind the Connection, PublicKey, Keypair, and Transaction classes you already know 🧵

Today we're launching Quicknode Observability. You asked for more visibility into your infrastructure, so we built it. See which methods drive your credit spend, which endpoints your failing requests come from, and whether your transactions landed. All in one view, live and historical, down to the method and endpoint: - Live traffic, with credits attributed per method - Usage and credit spend for any time period - RPC performance by method - HTTP and RPC errors across your whole fleet, grouped into issues - Every transaction your endpoints receive, with onchain status on Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Robinhood and Solana Filter by chain, network, method, endpoint, or tag, and share views with your team as a link. Now live in your dashboard.
