Featured Session: The Story of Solana—Why It’s the Ecosystem Fueling the Future of Web3

Mar 8, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

Solana has processed 200B+ transactions since launch, which is more than all other blockchains combined. That’s enabled by its design, which has a high degree of composability. But looking toward the future of Web3, what does this composability enable: What will people build? What will they build that they haven't even thought of yet? In this fireside chat, hear from Solana's co-founder, Raj Gokal and its seed investor, Rodolfo Gonzalez as they discuss the company's origin, lessons learned and how design decisions enabled it to become blockchain's fastest-growing platform.
