Network Performance - Solana network experienced its largest stress test, reaching a peak throughput of 100,000 TPS [1] - Agave validator client processed 6x peak traffic [1] - Agave validator client handled 60 million compute units (CU) per block without performance issues [1] Stability - Solana network remained fully stable during the high throughput period [1]

Industry Trend & Vision - The industry is experiencing a shift towards self-sovereignty and an open financial system [2] - A new financial system is emerging, driven by continuous building and innovation [6] - The traditional financial system is being absorbed and transformed by the new, decentralized system [5] Technology & Network - On-chain transactions are occurring rapidly and seamlessly, involving billions of dollars [1] - The underlying network infrastructure is robust, processing blocks continuously and rapidly [3] - Liquidity and throughput are key drivers, transcending geographical and ideological boundaries [2] Community & Global Impact - Individuals and entities worldwide are contributing to and benefiting from this evolving system [4] - The energy and activity within the decentralized finance space are significant and globally distributed [4] - The focus is on evolving beyond traditional markets rather than directly confronting them [5] Key Player - Solana is presented as a key element of the rising new system [6]

Network Capacity - Validators voted to increase the gas target to 2.2 million gas/sec, expanding network capacity [1] - This initiative reflects Avalanche's commitment to enhancing throughput and overall network performance [1]

Proposal Overview - Jump's Firedancer team proposed SIMD-0370 to eliminate Solana's fixed compute unit block limit post-Alpenglow [1] - The proposal suggests a dynamic throughput scaling with validator power, replacing static caps [1] Mechanism - Block producers would maximize transaction packing [1] - Slower validators would skip blocks, incentivizing upgrades [1] Impact - Producers could potentially earn more rewards [1] - Lagging validators risk losing rewards, driving hardware upgrades [1] - Network capacity is expected to increase as validators upgrade [1]

Technology & Scalability - Starknet 被 Extended 选择，因为它满足了吞吐量和延迟的要求 [1] - Starknet 是唯一满足 Extended 需求的 L2 解决方案 [1]

Technology Selection - Extended chose Starknet due to its superior throughput and latency capabilities compared to other Layer 2 solutions [1] - Starknet is the only L2 that meets Extended's specific requirements [1]

We need more throughput and we need a better UX.Everything else is downstream of these two core issues. ...

Core Insights - Western Midstream Partners LP (WES) reported Q2 2025 earnings of $0.87 per common unit, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.82, but down from $0.97 in the same quarter last year [1][10] - Total revenues for the quarter reached $942.3 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $941 million and increasing from $905.6 million in the prior year [1][10] Operational Performance - Natural gas throughput for WES was 5,251 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), a 5% increase from the prior-year quarter, driven by growth in the Delaware and Powder River Basins [3] - Crude oil and NGL throughput was 532 thousand barrels per day (MBbls/d), up from 515 MBbls/d in Q2 2024, attributed to higher volumes from the Delaware Basin and DJ-Basin [4] - Produced-water throughput increased to 1,217 MBbls/d from 1,080 MBbls/d in the year-ago quarter [4] Costs and Expenses - Total operating expenses for the quarter were $524.1 million, slightly higher than the previous year's $522.7 million, primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses and higher depreciation and amortization costs [5][10] Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities was $564 million in Q2, down from $631.4 million in the same period of 2024 [6] - Free cash flow for the quarter totaled $388.4 million [6] Balance Sheet - As of June 30, 2025, WES had long-term debt of $6.92 billion and cash and cash equivalents of $129.7 million [7] Outlook - WES maintained its adjusted EBITDA guidance for full-year 2025 in the range of $2,350 million to $2,550 million, with total capital expenditures expected to be between $625 million and $775 million [8]

⚡ INSIGHT: Beijing boasts about its state-backed blockchain that claims throughput higher than 100,000 TPS.More in Asia Express this week 🧵 https://t.co/GE6PslxUpA ...

"Alignment" is a total waste of energy.We should care about improving throughput, UX, onboarding flows, net new usecases, and a brand perception revival for crypto as a whole. ...
