“Great leader and developer, but not very objective about competitors”Toly is the co-founder of Solana and is objectively one of the most interesting developers and creators in this market. He created one of the most interesting chains in recent years and is the current and only competitor to Ethereum and its Layer 2 ecosystem (arbitrum, base, optimism, etc.). I really like his contribution to the market by bringing solutions like Sealevel and the Solana virtual machine (SVM), which allow this chain to be one of the fastest in terms of parallel transaction execution. However, I must be objective, and he should be too, because in several situations when he found himself discussing certain chains, especially Ethereum, he often showed signs of immaturity by not taking questions seriously or by presenting his idea as the only real source. Furthermore, at times when ETH was underperforming, he used his media influence to launch full-blown smear campaigns against the asset. Unfortunately, this is one of the main problems with this CEO or co-CEO, who loses objectivity and thinks his solution is the only efficient one. For this reason, I have to admit that while I respect Toly as a developer, I don't respect him as a person or as the head of Solana.

“The man behind the chain”Toly’s basically the face of Solana at this point Built something fast, bold, and kind of insane Even if you're not a Solana maxi, you gotta respect the grind

“Solana Genius”Honestly, I don't like Solana very match since it used to fall down very often back to those days. However, as a character himself I consider toly as a really good founder with interesting opinions about actual topics. And, despite my unloving Solana chain, we all have to do justice Solana, because it showed us how fast blockchain could be and brought NFT metas that changed many lives.

“Big brain behind Solana”Anatoly has proven his ability and capabilities over and over again. Even during the solana toughest time he work tirelessly to upturn the fate of solana. He literally deserves all the recognition he is getting.

As the founder of Solana, he’s taken bold bets on performance, scaling, and the future of high-throughput blockchains. Whether you agree with his approach or not, his conviction and willingness to execute are undeniable. A key figure who’s shaped how the space thinks about speed, decentralization, and developer ecosystems.
