Solana Founder: It's Difficult for the Foundation to "Force" Ecosystem Development; Products Must Come First Before Promotion
Solana founder toly spoke this morning about the role of the Solana Foundation in ecosystem development, stating: "Someone has to launch the product first before the foundation can promote and market it. People will provide feedback, test it, and tell the team what's not working, and then the team will make improvements.""It's hard for the foundation to force anything... Even when offering grants or investments, there must first be a product that people are willing to use, only then can the ecosystem accelerate its development."

Solana Developers Unveil Quantum Resistance Plan, Proposing Integration of Falcon Digital Signature Scheme
: The Solana Foundation has announced that its core development team, Anza, has reached an agreement with Jump Crypto's Firedancer on a potential post-quantum solution, planning to introduce a new digital signature scheme called Falcon. Although the threat of quantum computing is not expected to materialize for several years, Solana has already developed a phased upgrade roadmap. The plan includes ongoing research into Falcon and other alternatives, introducing post-quantum schemes for new wallets when necessary, and ultimately completing the migration of existing wallets. Currently, the quantum-resistant primitive Winternitz Vault, developed by Blueshift, has been operating on Solana for over two years. The Solana Foundation stated that the network's high-speed, low-latency design is compatible with such solutions and expects the migration will not significantly impact performance.

Curve Founder Calls on DeFi Industry to Establish Unified Security Standards to Reduce Centralized Single Points of Failure
Michael Egorov (@newmichwill), founder of Curve Finance, posted that recent security incidents in the DeFi space—triggered by centralized failure points—have occurred frequently and severely damaged the industry’s reputation. Citing examples such as Aave users being unable to withdraw funds following the rsETH exploit and the LayerZero cross-chain bridge hack, he emphasized that problems must be prevented *before* they occur—not addressed only after damage is done. He called on the industry to jointly establish DeFi security standards, proposing that the Ethereum Foundation and Solana Foundation take the lead in collaborating with projects across ecosystems, auditing firms, and risk-assessment teams to develop principles and specifications for secure system design—and suggesting that lessons could be drawn from traditional finance’s approaches to safeguarding centralized nodes.
