Anatoly Yakovenko calls himself the biggest skeptic of cryptocurrencies, even though he developed one of the fastest-growing crypto networks, Solana. The blockchain can reportedly process 50,000 transactions per second, far more than competing smart contract blockchain Ethereum, which currently stalls out at 45 transactions per second. In five years, Yakovenko expects the speed to be at least four times greater than it is now.
