hey frens!
for the past few weeks, @rezcpu, @cryptowazza, and I have been working on a tool for the Solana NFT ecosystem.
announcing SolGuard (solguard.io) - a community tool for verifying NFTs and education on the metadata backing the NFT.

dating back to some of the earliest mints, @MoonRankNFT (MR) has been a free service calculating statistical rarity on Solana NFTs.
5 months ago, MR worked with @MagicEden (ME) to integrate directly into the site - at no cost.
then,
a few days ago, ME silently dropped MR.

once we get through this, we need to work as an ecosystem to get wallets open sourced and audited.
we put a lot of a trust into software that we don’t know how it is developed.

the meta of having to enter your email address to interact with big sites, marketplaces, etc sucks.
this reads like pure data collection.
Thru Tues: airdropping to active wallets (in last month) who connected email / discord by today

That will be the end of our 1st drop

I remember asking Brett about this last year on a Twitter Spaces. I pressed about their NFT internal system not being exposed as a blockchain.
Response was something to effect of, “FTX is a large player handling 100s of millions of dollars. would hurt us to be a bad actor”.

but as the big players increase marketshare, we will see small projects give up when their idea is copied and they become replaced.

a small developer sees a need. builds a tool on top of the platform, and then gains significant marketshare.
once the platform notices, they wait for the dev to iron out issues, attempt to replicate the idea, then integrate it directly. this silently squeezes the small dev out.

the biggest concern I have is that this punishes the buyer — someone who might not know they purchased incorrectly.
after a certain period of time, the nft will all of a sudden be “shielded”. this will lead to an experience where they might need to pay a lot more.

it is not lost on me that the goal of any company, whether web2 or web3, is to gain marketshare.
it makes sense that platforms would want to incorporate ideas directly.

honestly // the only wallet on Solana I have seen really pushing this forward.
starting to use it as my daily driver.
Scammers on Solana have been creating sites promising that you enter a raffle.
The scam site tries to fool a wallet by delegating all of your tokens so they can transfer them later.
In @glowwallet, we show you what's actually happening before you approve the transaction.

every point is spot on. read through if you are interested in or developing on Solana.
As requested, all my current complaints in no particular order:
1. Uploaded IDL on-chain management is a mess. It has no versioning history, and when IDLs have breaking changes (like anchor 0.30+) all old clients currently looking at the on-chain IDL break. Why can't I lock a client to an IDL major version? Why is every IDL producer slightly different? Anchor, shank, etc should all produce the same thing. Published IDLs are wonderful in that I can add an account that's referenced by a has_one or PDA without breaking existing TS clients. But they need proper versioning.
2. Related to 1, since there's no IDL history, parsing historic transactions on Solana is impossible. Contract endpoints change, IDLs change, there's no history of it.
3. Read layer. The read layer sucks. You can do a lot to structure your program code to optimize for point-queries using PDAs as a kind of index. Like a crappy redis. But the second you need to do list queries ("get me all governance proposals with this tag") you're hosed. gPA is a terrible thing to use. That means you need an indexer!
4. Indexers. I have spent literal years wrestling with indexing on Solana, trying to get it so you catch every anchor record and insert it into postgres. *Finally* I have a solution that works, thanks to @streamingfastio. But even one stream is ~$500/month. Not really accessible to a dev trying things out in their spare time. Fine for Helium.
5. Transaction sending and landing. This is arguably the ONE thing a blockchain should be good at. Why am I talking to like 5-10 different people to find the optimum way to restructure my tx builder+sender every 3 weeks? Prio fees, stake weight QoS, compute limits, jito, lookup tables, transaction vs VersionedTransaction (the most ugly interface ever in both ts and rust). There's just so much to unpack here. Wrap it all up and throw it in a black box I don't ever have to look at again. Please.
6. Anchor performance. Anchor hogs a bunch of memory, newest versions init_if_needed almost always causes it to blow the heap. It also uses a bunch of CUs. It's the most used framework for smart contracts, let's pour all the resources we have into making it better. Native solana code is seriously so ugly to read it's a security hazard. There's no reason anchor, which is all pretty macros, can't be made to be just as fast.
7. CPI call depth limit. It's arbitrary, and low. Sometimes for composability you need more. CPIs are also super expensive. @blockiosaurus has some nice posts on why composability is a lie.
8. Tx size limits. This is actually the least of my problems, I can almost always find a way to work around this.
9. Rent is TOO DAMN HIGH. Sol is mooning, so rent is getting crazy high. I work for a company with funding, so it's not an issue for me. But if I were trying to do Solana in my spare time, $3000 to deploy a smart contract is ridiculous.
10. cNFTs continue to cause issues. If you need to mint a cNFT, then do something with that cNFT, you need to wait for the cNFT to be indexed so you can get its proof so you can construct the subsequent transaction _doing_ something with that cNFT. Huge headache. I wish Core NFTs had existed when we migrated helium, I would have used those instead.
11. Errors. Solana errors are notoriously unhelpful. github.com/anza-xyz/agave/bl…. This entire list should tell you which account the error came from. This is actively being worked on by Solana devrel.
12. Wallets. Of the top 3 wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) none of them are open source. One is source available, but usually pretty out of date. Wtf.
13. Rust clients suck. Using things like anchor from typescript are a breeze, because there's dynamic account resolution of has_one's and PDAs. Every time I have to use rust, it's like going back to the stone age.
14. Explorers suck. Why am I still using explorer.solana.com? Because it's the only one that consistently doesn't have broken IDL parsing, and has all the information that I need, and works with localnet devnet and mainnet. But it's notably missing things like seeing all txs on a program and filtering by instruction type.
15. The base RPC spec is missing tons of functionality. For one, it sucks at priority fees. Second, it's missing read level functionality enterprise web apps usually make use of, like incremental updates. I shouldn't need to waste data refetching accounts if they haven't changed. But there's no way to say "getMultipleAccounts that have changed past block x"
16. Dependency hell. ALWAYS with the dependency hell. Semver is never followed, especially on rust clients. So upgrading dependencies is always a nightmare.
17. Error handling when you turn off preflight checks is horrendous. Often times, if you've messed up the tx (too large, don't have enough sol, etc) it'll just hang forever. Hanging forever has to be the least desirable outcome for anything.
18. No ability to easily run txs at a specified time/on a schedule without deploying your own workers/crons. RIP clockwork (dw, I'm building a solution to this)
I'm sure there's more, but my build finished to it's back to work. This is just top of mind.
