GM Neonauts!

With Breakpoint around the corner, November was all about focus. Fewer announcements, more groundwork - improving resources for builders, and preparing for an important month ahead.

Let’s take a look at the highlights.

‍

⚒️ Product

New reads and deep dives for devs:

• Do LLMs dream of better Web3 vibe coders? - AI helps you ship faster, but it can just as easily ship bugs. This guide covers the main frameworks that can improve how LLMs perform in DeFi, common security failure modes, and a practical flow for safer builds.
• The two Ethereum-Solana roads you can take with Neon: Neon lets your EVM code run on Solana - no Rust, no rewrites from scratch. But what does that actually mean for builders? We broke everything down in our latest deep dive.

🌍 Events

Breakpoint 2025 is around the corner, and we’re heading to Abu Dhabi in full force!

Ivan Bjelajac, CEO of Neon Labs, will take the stage to explore how zero-knowledge tech can unlock new possibilities for Solana.
