Solana unveils programmable BP Badge for Breakpoint 2026 attendees

  • —Badge runs on ESP32-C5 RISC-V chip at 240 MHz with 16 MB flash and a 320×240 TFT display
  • —Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5 and 802.15.4; powered by a 1000 mAh battery over USB-C
  • —Attendees can build and flash their own applications on-site
