- Kyle Samani got into Ethereum in 2016 and invested in Solana in 2017 due to Ethereum’s scaling issues and Solana’s product focus.
- Solana’s founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, prioritized known solutions instead of unsolved computer science problems.

- While financial primitives were expected, the specific mechanisms like AMMs and liquidity pools were not.
