Solana Co-Founder Toly: No Longer Has Official GitHub Commit Access, Network Moves Towards True Decentralization

BlockBeats News, December 12th, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference, "One of my favorite things is: decentralization does not mean no leader, but rather the rich emergence of leaders. Over the past five years, too many people have stepped up—people from foundations, Labs, as well as community members, app and protocol builders who had nothing to do with these initial organizations—they have truly taken on the leadership role of the entire network."

"Now, I don't even have commit access to GitHub anymore, and my speaking slot on stage was only two minutes. My goal is to sit in the audience—I think that means seeing the entire network really mature and have a life of its own. I'm very proud of that."
