In this week’s episode, we sit down with Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana, for an in-person conversation recorded in San Francisco during Tech Week — with special thanks to Founders Inc for hosting us.

Anatoly shares the story behind Solana’s rise as one of the fastest and most scalable blockchains in the world, and what’s next for decentralized networks. We discuss the origins of Solana, how it’s powering new generations of developers and applications, the future of crypto beyond speculation, the experience of working with FTX during its collapse, and Anatoly’s long-term vision for building a truly open, on-chain financial system.
