Solid roundup of the ecosystem developments. The Firedancer mainnet launch is prob the biggest infrastructure piece here, and combining that with Light Protocol's 200x cheaper token standard could really shift how new projects think about deployment costs. Been watching the RWA tokenization push accelerate, and seeing Bhutan's sovereign gold reserves getting tokenized alongside all the stablecoin and lending activity shows maturity im happy to see.
