Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana-based developer platform Helius, took to Twitter to challenge Snowden's assertion that Solana is a centralized network
Solana (SOL) developer challenges Edward Snowden to prove his claims about the blockchain’s centralization.
Snowden, at the Token 2049 conference, said that some crypto projects are aiming for centralization to achieve faster, more efficient, and cheaper transactions. He added that while this may be true, meme coins and scams are primarily using such networks.
Snowden’s comments come as a response to a question about institutional investors and their preference for centralized networks, which he said are easier to integrate with existing financial systems. However, he highlighted the importance of decentralization in crypto, which he believes is crucial for resisting state interference.
Snowden’s remarks follow a prediction by a prominent crypto commentator that SOL will surge fivefold by Q4 2025, while Scaramucci said that Solana is well-positioned to spearhead the tokenization of the internet.
Snowden’s statement about Solana is interesting, especially given his strong advocacy for decentralization. He has consistently praised Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies for their ability to resist state interference. During the Token 2049 conference, he warned against diluting these principles to cater to institutional investors.
