Solana Chair Lily Liu: What fintech needs is not "showing off technology," but speed, cost, liquidity, and utility.Solana Chair Lily Liu: What Fintech Needs Is Not “Showing Off Technology,” but Speed, Cost, Liquidity, and Utility
At Dubai Binance Blockchain Week, Lily Liu emphasized that Solana’s core goal has never been “technology for technology’s sake,” but rather building infrastructure that truly serves the financial system. She pointed out that the most fundamental needs of finance are only four: speed, cost, programmability, and liquidity.
Solana chose to put all these capabilities on a single chain, which is why it insists on not doing L2, sharding, or sub-chains. “This is the reason Solana was considered ‘heretical’ early on, and it’s also the key to keeping our vision clear.” Lily stated that a platform that enables developers to build applications and enhance the “utility of money” is the most valuable.
