$SOL

In mid-April 2025, a critical vulnerability was found in Solana’s ZK ElGamal Proof Program, allowing attackers to potentially create unlimited tokens.

Some criticized the behind-the-scenes fix as centralized control. But co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko defended it, saying other blockchains would do the same.

😁 Funfact: Bitcoin Core also faced this problem in 2018, which could have created $BTC inflation.

Solana’s not new to these challenges, but it continues to act swiftly to protect its network.
