Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated that the network should prioritize optimization for five major applications—Phantom, Pump.fun, Fomo, Jupiter, and Kamino—over validators, developers, market makers, or core engineers. He emphasized that products with significant assets under management and high retail trading volume deserve the most attention. Yakovenko also praised the Ethereum Foundation for effectively supporting Aave's transaction needs, responding to criticism about Ethereum designers not using their own network. No specific technical upgrades or changes to validator rules were announced, but the focus on key applications signals Solana's strategic direction for improving user experience and network performance.
