Austin Federa, the strategic director of the Solana Foundation, explained in a podcast how the builders of Solana persisted and continued to improve the project's technology during the bear market. According to him, Solana's recent performance improvements have corrected many of the issues that plagued its performance during the 2021 bull market. He pointed out: "I think you saw a lot of 'thinkinfluencers' on Twitter 18 months ago saying that Solana's architecture was fundamentally flawed to some extent and that they could never stabilize it due to the 'original sin' in the codebase - which is very similar to most of the most radical statements on Twitter (i.e. the X platform). But the fact is that this is not actually the case." (The Block)
