Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko emphasizes that blockchain protocols must continuously evolve to meet user and developer needs, rejecting Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's vision of a 'locked' protocol. Yakovenko proposes a decentralized approach to constant protocol iteration, potentially accelerated through AI-driven governance and development. This divergence highlights distinct strategic paths for Solana as a fast-paced, adaptable platform and Ethereum as a primarily secure, immutable settlement layer.
