Solana Foundation

Solana suffered a near-existential blow in late 2022 when its foremost advocate and patron, Sam Bankman-Fried, was exposed as a con man. But despite this setback, Solana’s advocates have continued to build and to burnish the blockchain’s reputation for innovation and creativity. And despite some high-profile technical snafus, including a 20-hour outage in February, Solana has remained popular with both users and developers.
