🚨 SOLANA CEO: 'I AM ASHAMED' OVER AD CONTROVERSY
Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko broke his silence after backlash to a controversial ad blending U.S. patriotism with jabs at gender identity. Yakovenko: "
The ad was bad… gnawing at my soul. I am ashamed I downplayed it."
The ad, part of Solana's Accelerate conference promo, featured a man in therapy rejecting ‘inventing genders’ in favor of innovation.
After 1.2M views and mounting criticism, the post was deleted in 9 hours.
Yakovenko promised Solana will focus on open-source work and avoid culture wars.
