As a seasoned crypto investor with a penchant for blockchain technology and its promising future, I find myself consistently intrigued by individuals who not only have a profound understanding of the space but also possess the ability to shape its narrative. Lily Liu, a name that may not be as familiar to some within the Solana community, is certainly one such individual.
The resurgence of the Solana blockchain over the past two years culminated with SOL reaching a new peak in late November. However, even two months prior, the blockchain’s community had already convened to map out future victories during its annual conference, which was organized by Solana Foundation President Lily Liu.
Liu, an investor at Anagram and L2 Iterative Ventures, might not be as widely recognized by Solana followers as the blockchain’s creators Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal. However, she could play a significant role behind the scenes. Although the Solana Foundation doesn’t directly manage the network, it carries substantial weight in molding the blockchain’s narrative.
More recently, Liu managed to make time for joining the board at Ledger. She’s also part of the founding team at Osmosis, a decentralized exchange, and provides advice to Brave, an innovative Web3 browser that paves new paths. Earlier, she co-founded Earn.com, a startup specializing in staking, which was purchased by Coinbase in 2018.
Liu consistently showcases her exceptional intellect on various platforms annually. She’s more than capable of advocating for Solana against some of the most prominent figures in the cryptocurrency world. Recently, she engaged in a debate with Sreeram Kannan (“The Blockchain Professor”) over the pros and cons of Ethereum versus Solana.
At the conference, Liu devised a unique conference structure. Rather than having 20-minute panel discussions, her team divided most time slots into five-minute keynote presentations for founders to refine and showcase their products. This setup aimed not only to inform Breakpoint’s attendees but also to create short promotional videos that the founders could utilize themselves.
In a new approach proposed by Liu, the spotlight moved away from Solana itself and towards the innovators constructing decentralized financial systems based on it, ranging from stablecoins to gaming and other applications. This shift could potentially tip the scales in the competition among blockchains, highlighting their practical use.
