Episode notes

I would say at this point, Solana has been through at least as much hardship as Ethereum has. And they're different hardships. They're very different. I just see us as on a very similar trajectory and that is not, I don'tsee this as a zero sum situation at all actually. So there's four validator clients in active development. The one by Solana Labs, fire dancer by jump,. There's SIG, which is a Zig client implementation and there's GEDO and there's also a tiny dancer, which is an light client.

Bankless hasn’t had the most coverage of Solana, the network, and SOL, the asset, but in this episode that changes. Our guest, Austin Federa is Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation and is the host of the Validated podcast.

David was recently a guest on Austin’s podcast where they went back and forth on some of the cultural and philosophical differences between the Solana and Ethereum projects. Today is a continuation of that episode.

Despite some differences in community perspectives, Austin brings a fresh perspective on the design philosophy that relates Solana the network to SOL the asset and so much more.
