According to Odaily, Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana ecosystem development platform Helius, recently highlighted the significance of enhancing the research culture within the Solana community. In a post on the X platform, Mumtaz criticized the Solana community's negative stance towards Ethereum's research culture, calling it unwise. He stressed that the Solana ecosystem equally requires extensive research, particularly in the area of fee markets.

Mumtaz argued that practicality and research are not mutually exclusive and that it is essential to balance both. He also announced the formation of a new Solana research team named SEAL and invited interested individuals to submit their resumes for consideration.
