Solana Founder: Wanted to create something cool, cool and maybe change the world a little
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, spent his teenage years reading books, playing soccer, jogging, surfing the internet, and feeling bored. “Adolescence is a boring time. You're full of energy but don't have the opportunity to make an impact,” he said.
And when the first opportunity to make an impact arose, Yakovenko jumped at it, with the creation of the Solana blockchain and the Proof of History consensus mechanism.
This unique approach to securing decentralized networks gives Solana fast transaction speeds and scalability unmatched in the crypto world.
