In today’s episode, we have the creator of Solana and the Co-founder of Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko. We brought on Anatoly to ask: is Solana going to make it?

Price is down. A major public backer…SBF is down for the count…will Solana make it? Will it survive the bear market? Anatoly shares his thoughts.

In addition, he also shares the full Solana story, back to its earliest inflection points all the way to the current state of Solana today.
