[Solana founder makes surprising Satoshi Nakamoto statement]
Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko recently mentioned in a post that "Solana is a Bitcoin Layer 2 supported by Satoshi but not endorsed. She hid it better this time," sparking discussion. Although Solana is an independent Layer 1 blockchain, Yakovenko may have hinted that its design philosophy borrows some aspects from Bitcoin.
Solana was launched in 2020 to increase transaction throughput at lower costs and increase resistance to censorship. Yakovenko humorously called Solana Bitcoin Layer 2, but in fact, Solana uses a unique proof-of-history (PoH) consensus mechanism, which is essentially different from Bitcoin.
This is not the first time he has made this comparison, as back in February, Yakovenko responded to Satoshi’s email conversations with Bitcoin developers, pointing out the similarities in the two philosophies.
