๐ Solana 2026: Rising from the ashes of FTX, fully powering the application layer!
At the Consensus Hong Kong 2026 conference, industry leaders from Jupiter, Backpack, Kamino, and DoubleZero conveyed a clear message: if 2024 is the carnival of Memecoins, then 2026 will be the year of real finance and user experience.
Here are the key takeaways from this roundtable forum:
๐น Resilience after adversity. Backpack founder Armani Ferrante recalled: the collapse of FTX was "the most brutal experience imaginable," but it was this ordeal that filtered out the speculators. Solana has not lost any core technology teams; those who remain are shaping the future of the ecosystem.
๐น Farewell to memes, embrace TradFi. The guests firmly believe: Solana's next chapter is to attract traditional finance (TradFi) to the blockchain. The crypto industry is no longer just a "proof of concept"; the current goal is to harness the massive liquidity of the global market.
๐น Users don't care about the underlying protocol. Jupiter president Siao Zhu bluntly stated: users simply do not care whether applications are built on Solana or Ethereum; what they care about is the user experience. Therefore, value is shifting from the infrastructure layer to the application layer.
๐น Reject comfort zones. DoubleZero co-founder Austin Federa contributed a memorable quote: "In the blockchain world, the most dangerous feeling is 'comfort.' If you feel you have an advantage, it means someone is preparing to stab you in the back and take your lunch."
Summary: Solana is betting on lower latency and minimalist product design. The goal is clear: to enable even ordinary users who do not understand blockchain to seamlessly use on-chain financial services.โก๏ธ
