Larisa Barbu, the chief operating officer of Exchange Art, credits Solana’s recent explosion to the resilient nature of its community, focusing on developers and FOMO after major roadmap updates.
With 2024 upon us, Cointelegraph’s Hashing It Out podcast is focusing on narratives that are tipped to be at the heart of the crypto conversations this year. In episode 44, Larisa Barbu, the chief operating officer of Exchange Art — a fine art marketplace on Solana that recently integrated with Ethereum — breaks down Solana’s exponential growth in late 2023 and discusses its potential to continue in 2024.
Barbu explains how resilient the Solana ecosystem is and outlines the increase in activity on the layer-1 network beyond price action and speculation.
Barbu cites the Solana community’s resilience to survive the market downturn after the collapses of Terra and FTX in 2022. She says the belief in the vision emboldened developers to stick to the network and continue building.
