Some people know me as the Sherpa of Superteam, a global network of communities dedicated to onboarding talent to Solana.
Some people know me as the host of the Ecosystem Call, a monthly event where the Solana community gets together to celebrate its wins and hear alpha on what’s coming up next.
And some people know me as the guy with the big eyebrows who yells about staking your SOL.

No matter how you know me, I’m here to take any and all questions you have about what’s going on in the Solana Ecosystem. Feel free to ask about:
- Solana projects / sectors and what you should check out
- Simple explanations of technical topics
- How Superteam works and what we do
- Getting grants from Superteam
- How to do well at hackathons
- Storytelling / business development / community design advice
- Hot takes and hotter gossip about crypto generally
- Anything else your heart desires
And if you’re a Solana founder and want feedback about your project, post it below and I’ll give it a try!
PS - come to the last Ecosystem Call of the Year on Dec 7th (Thursday). We’ll have Mert from Helius, Armani from Backpack, Meow from Jupiter, Max from Mango, and Nom from BONK on the call to drop some alpha.
Obviously, I’m biased, but here’s what I’d say:
Solana does 50x more transactions per second (~400 vs. 8) and will continue to scale as hardware continues to improve. This means that, in practice, Solana is more usable today. The cost per transaction is about the same though, so no real benefits in terms of cost.
Solana is also more decentralized, if that matters to you, with more validators (roughly 10x, if memory serves, but I could be wrong here) and more client diversity (important to prevent hacks, supply chain attacks, outages, etc).
And Solana is more fun! There are just more projects in the ecosystem, more DeFi things to use, more consumer apps, more wallets, etc.
