CoinVoice has learned that Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference, "What I like most is that decentralization does not mean the absence of leaders, but rather the rich emergence of leaders. Over the past five years, too many people have stepped up—people from the foundation, from Labs, as well as community members, applications, and protocol builders who are not part of these initial organizations—they have truly taken on leadership roles for the entire network."
As it has developed to this point, I no longer even have commit rights on GitHub, and it only took me two minutes to speak when I got on stage. My goal is to sit in the audience—I think that means seeing the whole network truly mature and have its own life. I am very proud of this." [Original link]
