Hey @frank-thetrader.bsky.social. it's been a while. Hope all is well. That was some NDA you signed.

Something good is cooking.
Shadow to the moon!!

I honestly don’t know — I’m not part of the team.

@frank-thetrader.bsky.social did comment a couple months ago about being excited about NDA.

Things tend to go quiet until there’s something concrete.

All we really have are the infra signals — and those suggest it’s still active, not abandoned.

Rugged= infra would be dead.
• RPC endpoints shut down
• Storage nodes decommissioned
• Validators offline
• Costs cut to zero

Reality:
• Infra still responds
• Nodes still reachable
• Storage still serving data
• Validators still producing blocks

Interpretation is open — the infra facts aren’t.

@frank-thetrader.bsky.social Long time no see — hope all’s good on your end.

SHDW will be part of the Solana Privacy Hackathon on 12 Jan

We’re bringing our entire privacy stack, agent-native execution, quantum-safe cryptography, & x402 infrastructure, to test privacy where it matters most: real builders, real constraints, real scale

Stay in the dark

With Solana’s throughput scaling this fast, the bottleneck clearly shifts toward storage + data availability.
$SHDW feels positioned at the exact layer that will absorb the next wave of on-chain demand.
Looking forward to next update

Seeing data like this makes it clear why infra on Solana still has huge asymmetry.
$SHDW is positioned exactly where the next wave of real demand will hit- storage and on-chain data.
One of the few infra plays still severely undervalued relative to where the ecosystem is going

@genesysgo.bsky.social

Privacy + storage are leading the market—FIL up 96% shows the demand.
SHDW hasn’t even been priced into this rotation yet.
The opportunity is wide open once real workloads hit Shadow Drive.
What’s your read on this window, @frank-thetrader.bsky.social ?

Never been more excited to sign an NDA before 🔥🔥🔥

Glad you’re recharging, Frank — fresh mind always brings stronger execution.
Looking forward to what's coming 🔥 $SHDW 🚀

Frank, this level of ownership and detail is exactly why I’ve stayed invested despite being down.

Been here since the early versions, and I genuinely believe V3 will turn this around.
Excited to watch $SHDW rise again. 🔥
Thanks for the great work.

And, regardless of what anyone thinks, we will deploy this network so everyone can see what’s possible.

After that, everyone can individually decide what they think of it and what they will or will not do with it.

Hope that helps!

Oh… it’s literally night and day… one was a dumpster fire and the other actually works and does what it says it does.

I’m not at all proud of how v2 went, it was embarrassing. Many many developmental failures, but AI wasn’t good enough yet for me to jump in and do it myself.

Great to see this level of refinement happening at the protocol layer — these optimizations really set the stage for stronger scalability and network performance ahead. Solid work 👏

Nice progress on cleaning and refining aspects of the gossip network over the past few days!

Clean modular design like this is how ecosystems win long term. You're setting the foundation for real scalability here. Great work. LFG!!

In building v3’s codebase, I created a dedicated module whose sole purpose is to manage the FFI surfaces. This bridge is how the iOS app initializes the storage runtime on the mobile device.

Why this is important is bc when we port to Android, it means simply adding new surfaces to one just module

Keep peepin’ the commits. Scrubbing module by module

Home stretch!

Everything runs, the iOS app builds and runs perfectly!

Now, it’s just a matter of going module by module to clean up any AI slop remaining and optimize the codebase… but, it all works!

Weeeeee!

Fucking awesome! Nice work. Looking forward to launch. LFG!!!

I’m pretty excited to announce that the actual storage runtime for shdwDrive v3 is basically done!

Steven and I have some bug hunting to finish up, but I’ve moved onto polishing the iOS app.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be able to give a more definite time frame as far as an actual release date!

Of course!

Now just need to wire the new runtime together with the iOS app and can submit to Apple for publishing!

Then I can finish working on compute (which is about 40% finished.

Fun times!

Omg… I think it’s finally where I want it to be!

I basically designed a lightweight protocol, perfect for mobile devices, that puts the responsibility for verifying that a node is running authentic unmodified software on the node itself, as opposed to the network.

👀

Keep the good news coming! Congratulations!! LFG!!

I mean… why not…

Real shadow holders don't give a fck of what you say outside the project. It's not ideal, from a traditional comms strategy, but that will not affect the tech or thesis. It just gives you noise.

I trade with conviction, and my bet is that you are gonna make history.

The sheer amount of people on CT who wrecked themselves literally for no reason other than they got their feelings hurt will never cease to amaze me.

No wonder ya’ll can’t get ahead… say whatever you want about how emotional I may or may not be… I don’t trade on emotion and neither should you.
