Today, our team is excited to announce @InspiredCap Fund IV, $450M in new capital to back early-stage founders.
There has never been a moment in history when more is possible. It takes just one person with exceptional ambition to take on the world’s problems and change billions of lives for the better.

There are great resources for Solana data, but few places to see how it changes over weeks, months and years.
Solana Observer fills that gap: solana-observer.com

1/ @Solana's developer count is down 29% from its peak. And yet:
• Developer activity is near all-time highs
• Share of professional devs is higher than in bull market
• AI assistance went from a rounding error to ~1 in 5 devs since early 2025
Fewer devs, more output 🧵👇

1/ April showed a rotation phase in @Solana DeFi: spot & perps activity softened while RWA and tokenized equities kept scaling.
RWA AUM pulled back to $1.3B, but tokenized equities reached $412M and @xStocksFi climbed to $367M to become Solana's top RWA issuer.

1/ @Solana's validator stack is evolving fast. @harmonic_gg and @Rakurai_io are rewriting validator economics. SFDP's network stake halved. Tips from non-Jito providers now rival Jito. Nearly half of all stake runs on @doublezero.
A lot moved under the hood last month 🧵

1/ DePIN growth on @Solana isn’t slowing down. January 2026 saw record revenues, hotspot deployments, and data offloads across @helium_mobile, @rendernetwork, @XNET_Mobile, and more.
A thread on what’s moving the needle 👇

“The dynamic of friendship is almost always underestimated as a constant force in human life: a diminishing circle of friends is the first terrible diagnostic of a life in deep trouble: of overwork, of too much emphasis on a professional identity, of forgetting who will be there when our armored personalities run into the inevitable natural disasters and vulnerabilities found in even the most average existence.
[...]
But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self; the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
