Our goal has always been to be the go-to blockchain node platform across any chain and environment. Today, that includes the nodes you run on your own hardware. Running your own Ethereum infrastructure should be the basic right of every individual and household. Nodes should be easy. The catch? Self-hosting has always meant complexity. Manual setup, client updates, nodes falling out of sync, moni
In this second week of #100daysofsolana , i got got introduced with the concept of account . I learned it by contrasting with the database of web2 . However , i am aware that Solana's account model is not replacement for web2 database, rather it's solving a different problem: storing state in a system where no single entity has control, reads are public, and writes require cryptographic authoriz
A common problem with a familiar shape: a process can dial outbound to the internet, but nothing on the internet can dial it back. Your dev server on a laptop. A service in a private VPC. A homelab app behind your router. A container in a pod with no ingress. Same shape every time — outbound works, inbound doesn't. rift is a small Go binary I built to solve that. Run it as a server on a VPS you ow

If you’re coming from Web2, identity probably means a username and password. You sign up for a service, create credentials, and the platform stores your data. Whether it’s GitHub, your email, or a banking app, your identity exists because a company manages it. Solana works differently. On Solana, your identity starts with something called a keypair. This is made up of two things: a public key and
Background A nasty surprise Last summer while trying to deliver a feature for one of our customers, I encountered a nasty situation. The software we were developing, depended on a production grade license of Gurobi. People were on vacations except of my team and some unrelated staff, so developing the feature was in principle blocked. As I learnt due to some other situations, research
