Solana co-founder Toly: No longer have official GitHub commit access, the network is moving towards true decentralization

On December 12th, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference, “What I love most is that decentralization doesn’t mean no leaders, but rather a rich emergence of leaders. Over the past five years, so many people have stepped forward—people from the Foundation, Labs, as well as community members, builders of applications and protocols who are not part of these initial organizations—who have truly taken on leadership roles for the entire network. Now, I don’t even have commit access on GitHub, and it only took me two minutes to speak on stage. My goal is to sit in the audience—I think that means seeing the network truly mature and have its own life. I am very proud of this.”
