Solana conducts quantum-resistant security testing – and the results show a harsh trade‑off When quantum computers become sufficiently powerful, they can break the underlying cryptographic systems of current blockchains. Solana faces this risk at a more severe level than its rivals because its network directly exposes public keys, meaning that 100% of wallets on the network could be attacked instantly once a powerful enough quantum computer appears. The Solana Foundation has partnered with Project Eleven to test quantum‑resistant cryptography on a testnet. The results demonstrate a clear trade‑off. Quantum‑resistant signatures are 20‑ to 40‑times larger than current ones, causing the network to slow down by about 90% during the test. This is a fundamental trade‑off. Solana is known for speed, but stronger security directly eliminates that advantage. Stronger security means lower performance, and this is the trade‑off the entire crypto industry will have to confront in the coming years.

Like in a spy thriller: This is how North Korean hackers infiltrated the Drift Protocol (285 million stolen!)🕵️‍♂️🚨 New forensic details about the $285 million hack on the Solana project Drift Protocol reveal the full, harrowing scale of the attack. It was not a quick digital robbery, but a highly professional, intelligence‑grade operation that was prepared for over half a year in real life. The trail leads to the North Korean state‑hacker group UNC4736 (already held responsible for the Radiant Capital hack 2024). In order to even carry out the fatal attack (including fake token and altered admin rights), the hackers employed an extremely elaborate, real‑world social engineering strategy: Offline infiltration: The group sent strawmen (not North Koreans) with perfect, professional resumes to global crypto conferences, to personally and over months befriend the Drift developers. The million‑dollar deception maneuver: To appear as a legitimate "Quantitative Trading Firm", they patiently went through all onboarding processes, discussed trading strategies, and even locked over $1 million of their own capital into the protocol. The unnoticed access: After deep trust was built, they shared "working material". The decisive strike: A Drift developer cloned a malicious code repository. Due to a then‑zero‑day vulnerability in editors like VSCode/Cursor, merely opening the file was enough to silently execute malicious code on the system without any further click or warning (Zero‑Click Exploit). Another employee was compromised via a fake wallet app (via Apple TestFlight). The case brutally illustrates the means now employed in the crypto sector. When state‑funded hackers invest millions of dollars and send go‑betweens around the world for personal meetings to gain access to multisig wallets, pure blockchain security is no longer sufficient. For the entire industry, operational security (OpSec) and extreme caution with third‑party tools must now be top priority.

Founder of Solana shills a meme that tops at $5m is extremely bearish for the ecosystem. Bring back organic communities that pushed $SOL to $250. https://t.co/XO2H5bPUFi https://t.co/lZtReuYdx1

⚡️SOLANA HITS 10.1B TRANSACTIONS IN Q1 2026 Solana processed 10.1 BILLION transactions in Q1 2026, up 50% quarter on quarter. The HIGHEST quarterly total in the network’s history.

How to hold two favorite assets while still getting a daily “salary”? Many just buy, store in wallet, then pray for price rise. Actually there's a more productive way: Liquidity Provision (LP). A case example from my position (NFA): I like $SOL and $HYPE. Instead of just putting them in a wallet waiting for capital gains, I opened a DLMM Spot LP position for the SOL-HYPE pair. Why DLMM? 1. I get token accumulation (more SOL or HYPE). 2. I receive a share of the trading fee from every other transaction on that pair. Result? In about 19 days with roughly $97 capital, I've already earned $5.68 in fee profit. "But bro, your PnL is -9%?" Yes, the USD value did drop because the market has been correcting over the past 19 days. But the point: if you just HODL normally, the loss would be deeper and the token amount wouldn't increase. In LP, my asset amount keeps growing while waiting for the market rebound. 📈

God is great. $SOL is going to $1k.
