Partnership with Google Cloud and Integration of Solana Chain Data into BigQuery
Through a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, Solana chain data has been
integrated with Google Cloud's BigQuery service.
This collaboration paves the way for in-depth analysis of blockchain data,
harnessing the power of Google's advanced machine learning, AI, and business
intelligence tools.

Partnership with AWS and Solana Support on AWS Blockchain Node Runners
Solana has announced its support through a partnership with Amazon Web Services
(AWS) for the AWS Blockchain Node Runners.
This enables developers to easily deploy and maintain Solana RPC nodes on the
AWS platform, facilitating a smoother development process.
The AWS Blockchain Node Runners, already compatible with Ethereum, has now
embraced Solana as the second blockchain platform supported, reflecting Solana's
growing prominence in the industry.

Launch of the Testnet for Firedancer, a High-Performance New Solana Validator Client
The testnet for "Firedancer," a new high-performance validator client for the
Solana network, has been launched.
This innovation aims to enhance the scalability and efficiency of the Solana
network, promising to improve network stability and throughput.
Breakpoint 2023: Firedancer Update
Launch of the Open Beta for GameShift, a Gaming Development Platform on Solana
The open beta of the new gaming development platform "GameShift" was introduced.
GameShift provides an API that simplifies Web3 gaming development, which has
traditionally been challenging due to the need to manage multiple protocols.
It is designed to allow developers to create games using Solana's fast
transactions and low costs.
Specifically, it is possible to manage users, make credit card payments, and
issue and manage in-game item NFTs and NFT collections starting from a
non-custodial wallet. Compressed NFT technology is used internally, making it
possible to mint cheaper than conventional Solana NFTs, allowing more data
ownership such as turning items into NFTs, and forming an NFT market. is
expected.
This platform is expected to make it easier for a greater number of developers
to enter the blockchain gaming space.

Sling, a P2P Payment Platform Developed and Launched on Solana
Leveraging Solana's low transaction fees and high-speed transactions, the P2P
payment application Sling has been launched.
Utilizing blockchain technology means there's no need to construct a ledger
system from scratch, significantly reducing the development and operational
costs for payment platforms.
Additionally, it offers the heightened security and transparency benefits that
blockchain provides.
Sling continues to be developed to address the high fees and long transaction
times typically associated with international payments.
The beta version, which is currently free to use (OPOS! Only Possible On
Solana!), is now available, and you can join the waitlist via the following
website.

Render Network Completes Migration from Ethereum to Solana
The Render Network, renowned in the digital creation industry for its
decentralized GPU rendering capabilities, offers a platform where artists can
perform 3D rendering without hefty upfront GPU costs.
Resource owners with surplus GPU power can earn incentives by contributing to
the network.
The migration from Ethereum to Solana equips Render Network with faster
transactions and lower costs, enhancing accessibility for artists and resource
providers.
The use of GPU resources for AI computations accentuates the current GPU
shortage, and Render Network promotes efficient resource utilization.
The shift to Solana enables the construction of a broader digital
infrastructure, poised to meet growing demands with scalability and
cost-effectiveness.

Helium Network Completes Migration to Solana
The Helium Network has completed its migration to the Solana blockchain. As a
decentralized network supporting IoT devices and 5G communications, Helium
Network provides token incentives for users who contribute to its expansion by
setting up hotspots.
Initially, Helium Network operated on its own blockchain tailored for IoT and 5G
networks while managing token incentives.
Facing scalability challenges with over 400,000 hotspots and 700,000 wallets by
2021, Helium decided that the only solution was to migrate to Solana, known for
its scalability (OPOS).
The technical challenges and solutions of this migration were discussed in a
dedicated session.
