“In the sacred pursuit of a truly stateless digital dominion, in which networks of interactions and transactions flow unimpeded among the proletariat, liberated from the yoke of capitalist intermediaries and government surveillance, the simple costs of creating a state should be trivial, moreover negligible,” Yakovenko emphasized.
One of the users asked whether the head of Solana used the ChatGPT chatbot to write this text.
Comments under Yakovenko’s post were filled with waves of jokes about revolution and Marxism. Significant activity came from his Chinese readers.
Earlier, Solana outlined the reasons for developers leaving the United States. He said the local regulatory environment is to blame, and urged lawmakers to study the industry more thoroughly to regulate it.
As reported in July, Yakovenko allowed the use of Ethereum as a Layer-2 solution for Solana. In a technical cooperation, asset holders in a potential L2 network will have finality guarantees and will be able to return to the protocol even in the event of double-spending.
