Odaily Planet Daily News: Dan Albert, executive director of the Solana Foundation, said that the ability to coordinate patches does not mean that the Solana network is centralized, a view that refutes recent claims that the network is not decentralized. On August 9, Solana validator Laine shared details of a critical vulnerability that they believed could paralyze the network. The validators privately coordinated the deployment of the patch, claiming that if the vulnerability was leaked, attackers could exploit it through reverse engineering and paralyze the network. Because the deployment of the patch was done quietly and the coordination work was done behind the scenes, some people questioned the degree of decentralization of the network. Cointelegraph)
