Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko expressed regret for downplaying the impact of a controversial Solana Foundation advertisement, calling it “mean and punching down on a marginalized group.” He thanked those in the Solana ecosystem who called it out and committed to refocusing on core mission of decentralization and open-source software development. The ad, titled “America is Back – Time to Accelerate,” faced backlash for injecting political discourse into the crypto space and was deleted after receiving over one million views. Solana Foundation Vice President of Technology Matt Sorg clarified that only a few individuals were involved in the ad’s production and that it did not represent the Solana community.
