Hello Builder,

Web3 is clearly shifting toward more independent and resilient infrastructure, signaling maturity for institutional adoption.

Solana’s 100% uptime during cloud outages showcases its technical reliability, supported by diverse providers like Cherry Servers.

Meanwhile, projects like Tensora and Fireblocks merge blockchain with AI to build scalable, enterprise-ready digital systems.

Let's dive 🚀 into the topics:

🌐 Web3

Is Solana ready for institutions? $700M real world assets and no downtime

Solana maintained 100% uptime and Solana's uninterrupted performance is credited to its strategic migration towards a bare-metal validator infrastructure and its reduced reliance on large cloud platforms. Among Solana's top validator operators, Cherry Servers plays a notable role, accounting for about 5.2% of the active stake. 

Why Web3 Needs Decentralized Infrastructure Before It’s Too Late

Owning physical servers and spreading systems across multiple providers and geographies is increasingly strategic. Dedicated hardware ensures control over data, redundancy, security, compliance, and costs, often cheaper over long-term than cloud bills.
