Here are some of my favorite projects from the Breakpoint event, and although no one asked me to share, I wanted to share them anyway. After all, isn't social media for sharing unsolicited opinions? (In no particular order):
The @unruggable_io team was amazing, incredibly technical, and written in Rust. @bill_papas_12 gave me an early prototype of their hardware wallet, and I can't wait to get home and study it.
@colosseum announced the winners (welcome to my new friends!) Congratulations to all the winners. I'm especially happy for @beeman_nl and @tobeycodes' Samui wallet.
@solflare was really generous this time. They gave away the new Shield card for free to everyone who wanted it (as one of the pre-orderers, I'm a little annoyed because I got one for free. But now I have several, so it feels a bit wasteful. Maybe I'll just have to give them away). And that QR drone show!? Wow.
@afscott is a really cool guy, and it's been amazing to see him driving the development of cryptocurrency in the UAE through @SuperteamAE.
@brianlong shared some early versions of the amazing things @triton_one is about to bring to the entire Solana developer ecosystem. Another huge success from open source.
@clairefxyz is an absolute compiler genius and a fantastic speaker. BPF is coming soon! (P.S. @blueshift also generously provided a super comfortable hoodie.)
@jump_firedancer, you know: always on my side.
Finally met @_nityas from @get_para! I'm so excited to be working with him on all our projects at @useDecal.
@CarlKVogel always gives his all when hosting events.
The friends at @solanaspaces are selling great products from all corners of our wonderful ecosystem.
@swen_sjn and @LightProtocol have once again brought more amazing applications to blockchain through zero-knowledge compression.
@SaigonButcher is working on some great projects for the Solana founders (as a non-superteam member). I wish I could be a part of it!
@CryptoMagellan, awesome!
Solana Core is going to be a huge success next year, which will really help @solana_devs develop more amazing products and protocols: my favorites are rent reduction and transaction v1.
Of course, a special thank you to @platis_e, Amy, and the entire @SolanaFndn event/production team! The event was fantastic, the atmosphere was perfect. They always do such a great job (and of course, those perfect purple outfits).
