Solid roundup, the Layer33 announcement is a big deal for decentralization. Their goal to move 33% of stake towards independant validators could actually address Solana's long-standing concentration concerns. I like how they're packaging it with a liquid staking token too since it aligns incentives, people can support decentralization without sacrificing yield. Fits well with the Visa USDC news showing institutional appetite is finally catching up to Solana's technical capabilities.
