According to Odaily Planet Daily, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko expressed his views on the X platform, comparing the Solana ecosystem to a decentralized and dispersed Y Combinator.

He noted that the Solana ecosystem is characterized by “founders rather than developers,” “startups rather than projects,” and “engineering rather than research.”

Yakovenko acknowledged that the Solana ecosystem suffers from inefficient communication due to its decentralized nature, suggesting communicating with multiple entities including Solana Labs, Anza, the Solana Foundation, Helius, Metaplex, Colosseum, Jito, and Triton.
