We're building a security audit agent that runs entirely on our own infrastructure using open-weight models. A recent Solana audit showed why that matters🧵

GLM-5.3 Flash on 2x DGX Spark is getting really fast. 368 tok/s aggregate with 8 concurrent sessions (46/session), ~99 tok/s single-session, 1M context per request. Built on @jayleaton's TensorFold kit with our C8 tuning + an OpenAI logprobs patch. Benchmarked against vLLM (EXL3 and NVFP4) on the same harness. Thanks @jayleaton @miaai_lab github.com/LimeChain/glm-5.3…

Introducing LimeForge, a new product by LimeChain. Most onchain product ideas don't start as specs. They start as a sentence: “I want to build a lending protocol” “A marketplace for tokenized assets” “A new way for institutions to move assets onchain” The hard part is turning that idea into something a team can actually build. For the last 9 years, we've been doing exactly that at LimeChain. Across hundreds of blockchain products, we've accumulated a pretty ridiculous amount of knowledge about product definition, requirements, architecture, user flows and the decisions that need to happen before development starts. A lot of it lives in our internal docs, specifications, architecture decisions, project retrospectives and the heads of our engineers. So we packaged all that knowledge into LimeForge and we’re giving it to you. You bring it an idea, LimeForge helps you work through the product, define its requirements, map the architecture and user flows, and turn it into a build-ready spec and visual prototype. LimeForge is now live in early access. Link below 👇

Running DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 on 8x3090s is a really good experience. 95 tok/s single-session and up to 400 tok/s aggregate with 12 concurrent on a @vllm_project fork using PP8/TP1 and DSpark. Maybe the RTX 3090 is still better value than DGX Spark? github.com/LimeChain/vllm

Happy 1000 epochs @solana 🥳 Congrats to the validators, builders, devs and users who have helped bring Solana to this milestone We’re grateful to be a small part of this journey through our LimeChain validator and continued involvement in the Solana ecosystem Accelerate🏎️
a thousand epochs ago, it was an experiment a thousand epochs from now, they'll say it was obvious

Our Solana program step-debugger, Gimlet, has a new release 🚨 It now supports the sbpf-debugger feature from the Agave v4.0 runtime, letting @solana_devs debug @solana programs inside Mollusk/LiteSVM/TypeScript tests Here's an example of debugging a CPI 👇

Prop AMMs approach onchain execution differently - prioritizing execution quality over efficiency, often at ~36% higher compute units We’ve built tools that benchmark and analyse prop AMMs, here’s what we found: Prop AMMs are blooming on Solana, with newcomers showing up every month or so. This fundamentally different approach to onchain markets is still underexplored. We’ve taken the liberty of building tools, analysing the most prominent approaches and benchmark performance on different axis -- not only price-wise. For example, different Prop AMMs take different approaches -- some favour fast execution & minimal CU consumption, whilst others prefer to deliberately overconsume, or throttle, execution, ensuring that swaps are positioned further back in the block - the minimalistic oracle price updates; We’ve also measured the significance of the Jupiter overhead, or said differently - how much more costly are the swaps, in terms of compute units and execution time, when they’ve been done through Jupiter rather than directly going through the AMMs/props; On aggregate, swaps take roughly 36% more CU, or execution time, when done through Jupiter rather than direct instruction The following diagrams depict two 5-leg swaps, each executed in a local simulated environment with preloaded state; • the AMMs include: raydium_cp / whirlpool / meteora_damm / manifest / meteora_dlmm • the pmms include: bisonfi / humidifi / goonfi / solfi / tessera the AMM path is ~30.4% faster (as labeled), or put another way, the PMM path costs ~30.4% more. Effectively meaning that prop AMMs seem to lean on the “heavier” side -- effectively getting distributed further back in the block and ensuring no adverse selection happens by getting swapped against with stale state

this is super good btw!
We’ve released sbpf-coverage - a tool designed to generate testing code coverage for @solana programs At LimeChain we believe testing code coverage is an important part of the development lifecycle and something the @solana_devs community has been asking for It's finally here🧵

You can build something great in Web3 and still get ignored It’s not because the product is bad But because nobody understands why it matters We’re doing free online consultations, where you can talk with @BilyanaChristov about sharp inputs + clear next steps for your project

You can now explore and interact with the real execution logic behind @solana AMMs and Prop AMMs @lbkolev (LimeChain RnD) has built an open-source Solana aggregator that lets devs route real transactions through the various liquidity sources on Solana using one unified interface
We've built an open-source Solana aggregator. The setup aims to provide common grounds for the diverse set of liquidity sources on Solana, whilst leaving enough flexibility for extension, or complete overwrite, of some or all of the core components.
