Vitalik Buterin supported Solana blockchain developers The situation with the FTX exchange provoked a serious drop in the price of SOL, which fell below $10 for the first time in two years, as a result of which the coin dropped to 17th place in terms of market capitalization.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for the developers of Solana, despite the fact that it is a competing blockchain. Buterin wrote that it is difficult for him to give an assessment from the outside, but nevertheless he wished success to the Solana developers “Smart people have told me that there are serious developers at Solana, and now that the horrible self-interested opportunists have been washed up with their money, the network has a bright future. Hope the community has a chance to thrive,” Buterin tweeted.
