I really hate all these chains saying they are the next @solana. Solana solved the problem of exploding tx costs and slow commit times. Really think what problem you’re solving as an L1. What problems now persist? The obvious answer is transaction sizes, landing guarantees, and MEV. Solve one of these three or go build a dapp

.@Switchboardxyz has been part of Solana’s journey since early on, first hitting mainnet in April 2021. Since then, we’ve consistently managed 3-7% of Solana traffic, supporting a diverse range of community-driven data feeds. My personal blood, sweat, and tears have gone into maintaining Switchboard through Solana from 2021 to now. Through this, I have become very close with @brianlong/@triton_one as well as grown strong relationships with @0xMert/@heliuslabs, @syndica, and @Ironforge. Stats at a Glance - Switchboard Push produced: • 2,000+ data feeds created • 16,000 SOL spent on updates • 1 billion+ data feed updates These numbers highlight what’s possible, but we believe data should be as cost-effective, efficient, and fast as possible. Enter Switchboard On-Demand! Designed to maximize data efficiency, cost savings, and speed for all users. As we sunset Switchboard Push, On-Demand opens the door to scale our data delivery far beyond past limits—bringing cost-effective data to more ecosystems. What’s New? Switchboard On-Demand is built to support all oracles—not just Switchboard—in a single, verifiable interface. You can now use: • Pythnet • Chainlink • Redstone • Chaos Labs • Switchboard All through Switchboard On-Demand. The more possibilities of data aggregation and organization, the better. Switchboard is here to stay, and my DNA is in this product. Up Only, let's get back to work
