How a Ukrainian created a startup worth more than $1 billion💸
The story of Anatoliy Yakovenko, who met his first investor D. Quick, at an underwater hockey club in 2018. "I remember him coming out of the pool and saying: "Hey, I'm creating my own blockchain."
The Ukrainian founded the blockchain startup Solana 🔎
Quick liked the idea and participated in the company's ICO. At the time, Solana sold almost 80 million tokens, with one token costing 4 cents.
Interesting fact: the Solana blockchain is named the popular Solana Beach in California.
Since then, the SOL token has grown 4,300 times and is now considered the fifth most expensive in the world with a market capitalization of $50 billion.
Solana processes about 3,187 transactions per second. Ethereum has 15 transactions per second, while Bitcoin has five-seven.
Yakovenko is now continuing to develop Solana. In June, the team announced the launch of Actions and Blinks - solutions aimed at simplifying interaction with the Solana blockchain. 12 replies
