BlockBeats News, December 12 — Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference, “My favorite part is that decentralization doesn’t mean the absence of leaders, but rather the emergence of a rich variety of leaders. Over the past five years, too many people have stepped forward — from the foundation, Labs, as well as community members, builders of applications and protocols who are not affiliated with these initial organizations — they have truly taken on leadership roles across the network. Now, I even no longer have commit access on GitHub, and it only takes me two minutes to speak on stage. My goal is to sit in the audience — I think that means the network is truly maturing and has its own life. I am very proud of this.”
