This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 25 January 2022 and 9 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): LodFod, Meta02 ( article contribs). Peer reviewers: GGLOL1600, Yuhcool.
Hello, the first paragraph is biased and should be rewritten. It should serve as a general overview and not as an excuse to slander the subject.
There is no reason for it to include the information about the wallet hack in the intro - the precedent is out there: the Ethereum page also doesn't include information about the DAO hack in the first paragraph. Plus, at this moment, the first paragraph suggests that the Solana blockchain was hacked, which is provably false. The Slope wallet was hacked, which has nothing to do with the security of the blockchain itself. That is something completely different and should be corrected.
Moreover, the first paragraph says nothing about the blockchain and intentionally withholds information about the blockchain speeds, energy efficiency, defi, NFTs, partnerships, wallets etc. And again, there is the precedent in the Ethereum article.
Lastly, the market cap information should be stated in one of the following chapters, not the intro. The precedents: Ethereum article, Cardano article, Bitcoin article...
The biased language of this article is apparent, especially when you compare it to other blockchain articles on Wikipedia. Clearus ( talk) 00:25, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
compared to other blockchain articlesis not the standard we use here. The standard we use is 'compared to the reliable sources that write about Solana'. MrOllie ( talk) 14:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or advocacy, and none of the sources you have proposed are reliable for this content. As for the wallets being hacked vs. the blockchain itself being hacked, to just say 'some wallets were hacked' would be more confusing than informative. We could rephrase it to say that 'thousands of Solana wallets were hacked' or similar, but to remove it completely would be inappropriate. Grayfell ( talk) 20:43, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Jito Labs now provides access to its Block Engine for any Solana MEV searcher. The Block Engine is integrated with the Jito-Solana validator client to provide searchers the first MEV infrastructure on Solana. Solana can be staked on the Jito Network. https://www.jito.network/ https://www.jito.wtf/blog/ ScanCorrect ( talk) 13:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I’m requesting to include the information about the Solana Saga winning Bust of the Year from Marques Brownlee’s Smartphone Awards 2023.
Appending to this question as well, should the Solana Saga receive its own Wikipedia page; or should it just be contained within Solana’s page? 209.33.19.39 ( talk) 16:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

and also on side note the first line under characters is same as first sentence and Eth alternative is also not a characteristic suggest move to history 2A02:A420:72:ED70:F06F:2A4A:B85:56D5 ( talk) 12:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
The introduction states:
“The blockchain has experienced several major outages, was subjected to a hack”
This claim has already been contested on the talk page, and for the avoidance of doubt you can put me down as someone who objects to the claim, because there have been no events in our timeline that would be accurately described as a hack of the Solana blockchain. Hence per WP:MINREF there needs to be an inline citation for this claim ReeeeingIntoTheVoid ( talk) 00:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
The lead says "a class action lawsuit was filed against the platform". This doesn't make sense because the platform isn't something you can sue. Which is why the lawsuit was filed against Solana Labs, not the Solana blockchain platform.
On the same note, multiple instances of "Solana" below should be replaced with "Solana Labs":
On 1 July 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed against Solana. The lawsuit accused Solana of selling unregistered securities tokens in the form of Solana from 24 March 2020, onward and that Solana deliberately misled investors concerning the total circulating supply of SOL tokens.
That second sentence is also just a mess but one issue at a time. ReeeeingIntoTheVoid ( talk) 01:00, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
This page is in dire need of updating, and all edits I have made to the page have been reverted because I need to gain 'consensus' first (which is not Wikipedia policy). Regardless, I suggest making the following edits to the page:
- Provide additional history about the founding of Solana, and the founder - Add a photograph of the founder for visual aid - Add the cryptocurrency category - Add comparisons about Solana to other blockchains (fast/cheap fees vs. centralized)
All information is supported by WP:RS. Suggested edits are below.

Please respond with whether you agree, and if you disagree, why. Thanks.

Hailed for its high speeds and cheap transaction fees, the blockchain previously championed by Sam Bankman-Fried saw the price of its SOL token plummet in the wake of his FTX crypto exchange’s implosion., which reads rather differently. We should not cherry pick part of a sentence. MrOllie ( talk) 13:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry, are my edits in violation of WP:SOAP, WP:NPOV, or WP:COI?"
I don't know why the sidebar says that he is. It's not a popular misconception or anything ReeeeingIntoTheVoid ( talk) 21:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I work for Solana Foundation and therefore have a conflict of interest. I'd like to propose a change for more impartial editors to weigh against Wikipedia's rules as follows:
