Triton: Building Solana RPC Nodes | The Next Billion #11 Full Episode

Is an RPC node necessary? In this episode of The Next Billion podcast, George Harrap engages with Brian Long, co-founder of Triton One. Triton One is one of the first blockchain infrastructure providers for the Solana blockchain. Brian also oversees the validators.app website and the Block Logic validator, one of the first validators on Solana. George and Brian dive deep into Triton's history and how the Step app was associated with it from the beginning. Their conversation covers the Solana ecosystem's current state, recent developments, and the use of cryptocurrencies as regular money. Brian then illustrates the necessity of RPC nodes and how they are used in actual digital systems. Their discourse finally leads to how more projects are operating their own validators and what that means for the blockchain.
