Is Solana quietly eliminating more than half of its validators? A controversial but calculated move
The Solana Foundation has just announced a noteworthy strategic change in the validator support program – a decisive move to reduce the network's dependence on the Foundation itself and promote true decentralization. But behind this is a surprising fact: more than 57% of validators could 'disappear' if they no longer receive stake from the Foundation?
Bold move: “1 in, 3 out” to promote self-reliance

The Solana Foundation has decided it’s time to tidy up its validator ranks. And now — for every new validator in the network… three old-timers are out. Yes, it sounds like the media franchise "The Hunger Games." 🎯💥
What’s happening?
#SolanaFoundation is introducing a strict rule: if a validator has been in the network for more than 18 months and has less than 1,000 $SOL external stake — goodbye! Their place will be taken by a more sprightly newcomer. 🤺
🎯 Why all this?
To reduce dependence on the generous delegations from the Foundation itself and to improve the level of decentralization that every blockchain idealist dreams of. Now the path to the validator club is open to new enthusiasts with strong community support. 🚀🌍
📢 Node owners, don’t relax!
Now it’s not enough for a validator to just "be." They need to attract delegators, maintain communication with the community, and generally — behave like a crypto-romantic with an active life position. 🕺💼
💪 Benefits for SOL holders
This is not just a cleanup — it’s an upgrade! More equality, more competition, and as a result, a healthier and more resilient Solana network. 🌱⚡

Solana Foundation Faces Backlash Over Controversial Anti-Queer Ad
The Solana Foundation found itself at the center of controversy after releasing and later deleting an advertisement that many labeled as anti-LGBTQ. The ad, which ran for nearly nine hours, portrayed "America" in therapy, struggling to focus on technology due to societal discussions about gender identity and pronouns.
The now-deleted video depicted a therapist telling "America" that "numbers are non-binary" and advising them to concentrate on gender-related issues rather than technological advancements. The ad culminated with America exclaiming, "I want to invent technologies, not genders."Critics from within the Solana community and beyond condemned the ad, calling it a right-wing talking point that clashed with the foundation’s previously stated values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
A Reversal of Solana's DEI Commitments?
The backlash was intensified by the fact that just months ago, the Solana Foundation promoted DEI principles at its Singapore conference. Its code of conduct explicitly prohibited "verbal or physical intimidation" based on gender, gender identity, and expression. Attendees who violated these guidelines faced potential ejection and bans from future events.
Despite this prior commitment to inclusivity, the latest ad campaign appeared to pivot toward right-wing cultural narratives, raising questions about Solana’s stance on diversity moving forward.
A spokesperson for the Solana Foundation has yet to respond to media inquiries regarding whether this ad reflects a broader strategic shift in the organization’s core values.
Crypto’s Growing Political Divide
This controversy comes amid a broader discussion about crypto's political alignment. While many in the industry have supported Donald Trump due to his pro-crypto stance, the space has largely remained bipartisan, with advocates working across political lines.
However, Solana's ad may signal a deeper partisan shift within the crypto sector, with some fearing it could alienate key stakeholders and investors.
For now, the Solana Foundation must navigate the fallout, balancing its community's values with broader industry and political considerations.
