TartarianI'm not big on the team at Solana, or the project itself, but as individuals, the founders do have extensive experience with big projects.
This makes them potentially good leaders of the project.
Anatoly Yakovenko is a co-founder of Solana, recognized for his pioneering work in blockchain technology and the creation of the Solana blockchain, which is known for its high speed and scalability.
Born in Ukraine, Yakovenko moved to the United States where he graduated with a degree in computer science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Before entering the blockchain space, he worked in the tech industry at companies like Qualcomm, where he gained significant experience in software engineering.
Yakovenko played a crucial role in developing Solana's Proof-of-History consensus mechanism, a key feature that helps the blockchain manage high transaction speeds.
Raj Gokal, another co-founder of Solana, oversees operations, product, and finance.
His background includes a decade in product management and finance, venture investing at General Catalyst, and leading product management at Omada Health.
