MCP & the Future of Solana
it's 2027.
multiple co-leaders include new Tx every few ms.
@solana combines them to 1 block, sorted by fees*
what do you notice? 👀
1/8

in MCP-Solana
❌ bundles
❌ block-builders
❌ BAM
don’t work.
bundles don’t execute in-order
same for builders & BAM
can't even drop reverting Tx (unknown 🤷♂️)
that's OK - MPC lets DeFi evolve beyond "which Tx was first"
(listen to @MaxResnick1 yap👇)
2/
MPC is NOT a 5 yrs roadmap - @solana devs 🐐🐐🐐
3/

so why speedrun ETH's failed experiments?👇
why not do what MCP does?
1) sort Tx & bundles by reward/CU
2) keep bundle support
we *know*
- DEX can compete with CEX (prop AMMs)
- they need reliable ordering
let's give them what they need!
/5
are the "temporary" solutions helping us?
block builders:
lose @solana's real-time continuous block-building
BAM:
take away validators' decision over including Tx
BOTH hurt the argument
"solana is decentralized, fair, and nobody runs DeFi's matching engine"
/6
so who's actually deciding this?
apps & validators
- validators (and their stakers) will decide what to run
- apps who send Tx *exclusively* to these solutions help them show higher rewards (mostly artificially)
/7
but @SolanaFndn plays a giant role too
SF showed that if it wants to - it can use its huge stake (~2%) to get validators to adopt a long-term tech, even if it costs them $ short-term
a bit unfair to ask the hardly-breakeven validators to act benevolently..
