Armani Ferrante, CEO of @Backpack, on why Solana is becoming the aggregation layer for everything
βSolana has always been marching towards something much bigger than any single exchange. You could call it an API for all of finance, or a parallel economy and financial system. But I think the end state is Solana as the aggregation layer for everything."
"Itβs all about importing market structure. Not just crypto-native assets, but the entire economy, because the network effect is money.β

RAG Concepts You Need to Know as a Developer in 2026
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) improves LLM responses by retrieving relevant information before generating an answer.
Here are the key building blocks:
1οΈβ£ Chunking β Break large documents into smaller, meaningful pieces.
2οΈβ£ Embeddings β Convert text into vectors that capture semantic meaning.
3οΈβ£ Vector Search β Find semantically similar content using vector similarity.
4οΈβ£ Hybrid Search β Combine keyword search (BM25) with vector search for better retrieval.
5οΈβ£ Reranking β Reorder retrieved results using a stronger model to improve relevance.
6οΈβ£ Query Expansion β Expand the original query to improve recall.
7οΈβ£ Metadata Filtering β Filter results using metadata such as date, source, category, or access level.
8οΈβ£ Context Compression β Remove unnecessary information and keep only the most relevant context.
9οΈβ£ Graph RAG β Use knowledge graphs to capture relationships between entities.
π Agentic RAG β Let an agent decide what, how, and when to retrieve information.
1οΈβ£1οΈβ£ Vectorless RAG β Use traditional keyword-based retrieval instead of vector search.
1οΈβ£2οΈβ£ Semantic Cache β Reuse similar previous queries and answers to reduce latency and cost.
1οΈβ£3οΈβ£ Grounding β Ensure the generated answer is based on retrieved context.
1οΈβ£4οΈβ£ RAG Evaluation β Measure relevance, faithfulness, context usage, and answer quality.
1οΈβ£5οΈβ£ RAG Pipeline β Connect the complete flow: Ingest β Index β Retrieve β Augment β Generate
Understanding these concepts helps you design RAG systems that are more relevant, efficient, and reliable.
