Since its launch in March 2020, Solana has quickly become the competitor to Ethereum. But how did Solana emerge so suddenly, and why does it matter so much to the larger crypto ecosystem? Raoul goes right to the source – Anatoly Yakovenko, a co-founder and the CEO of the “fastest blockchain in the world” – for answers to those and many more questions. Raoul and Anatoly dig into anything and everything you want and need to know about Solana, including an explanation of recent network outages, an inside look at the rise of Solana-based NFTs, and a preview of a flagship mobile phone. Tune in, and be sure to have your notepad handy. If you want to understand the future of crypto, you must understand Solana. Recorded on August 22, 2022.
