FROM QUALCOMM ENGINEER TO SOLANA FOUNDER: THE TOLY STORY 🚀
I was struck by the fact that the creator of $SOL didn’t come from the world of finance. Anatoly Yakovenko was born in Ukraine, emigrated to the United States as a child, and spent more than 12 years as an engineer at Qualcomm, working on wireless systems.
In 2017, he published his idea, Proof of History, a method for ordering events on the network and making it much faster. In 2018, he co-founded Solana with other engineers. Today, $SOL is one of the largest networks in the world. It reached an all-time high of $293, and tomorrow Breakpoint, its major annual event, kicks off in London.
I believe that ideas that change everything don’t always come from a Wall Street office: sometimes they’re built by an engineer who spent years solving problems almost no one noticed.
Did you know the story behind Solana, or were you just following the price? #Solana
