Solana Deletes Controversial Ad After Facing Backlash from the Community
The Solana team had to delete the "Accelerate" ad after receiving criticism.
The team did not respond to the angry reactions from the community on social media.
The Solana team had to delete its ad "America is Back – It's Time to Accelerate" after receiving harsh criticism from the cryptocurrency community. The team posted the ad late in the evening Asia time on its X account. While the ad focused on political messaging, it appeared to be offensive in terms of gender identity.
What is Solana's Controversial Ad?
The Solana team is organizing the "Accelerate" event to celebrate American founders, technology, and innovation. The event consists of two programs: "Death Ship" and "Expand or Die." The event will be held from March 19 to 23 of this year.
The Solana Foundation's event primarily highlights America's leadership in technological innovation over the past few decades, as well as the current U.S. administration's initiative to make America great again by supporting advanced technologies such as cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
