Vitalik Buterin supported Solana blockchain developers

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for the Solana blockchain, which is experiencing difficult times after the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. The situation with the FTX exchange provoked a serious drop in the price of SOL, which fell below $10 for the first time in two years, as a result of which the coin dropped to 17th place by market capitalization. Several platforms are planning to move from Solana to alternative blockchains, so the mood regarding the further prospects of this network is rather pessimistic.. For example, the owner of YouTube channel Bitboy Crypto Ben Armstrong (Ben Armstrong) believes that in the future Solana will leave even more projects. However, not all members of the crypto community are so categorical.. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for Solana developers, despite the fact that it is a competing blockchain. Buterin wrote that it is difficult for him to give an assessment from the outside, but nevertheless he wished success to the Solana developers. Many people bought SOL in the hope of a quick financial benefit, not caring about the value of the technology itself.. With those investors gone, it’s time for those who truly appreciate the potential of blockchain to shine, Buterin said. “Smart people have told me that there are serious developers at Solana and now that the terrible self-interested opportunists have been washed up with their money, the network has a bright future.. Hope the community has a chance to thrive,” Buterin tweeted. In early November, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko announced that the project team would focus on improving the stability of the network in order to solve the increasing problems with its shutdown.. Earlier, Yakovenko refuted claims that the Solana blockchain is an “Ethereum killer” because the networks can complement each other.
