    Biggest mint of the year and #Solana is cruising along at ~3-4k TPS. Major congrats to the core devs for addressing the network congestion issues we've seen with past drops.

    Bear market sliver-linings: it now costs ~$.15 cents to mint a #SolanaNFT with @metaplex. Never been a better time to get started as a creator.

    1/ Something I'd love to see come out of #Solana Ignition hackathon is a lottery system for NFT drops. It could give anyone the ability to participate regardless of time zones or commitments and would mitigate the impact of front-running and bots.
