According to CoinMeta, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko responded to the criticisms from Bankless co-founder David Hoffman in a tweet on November 15th by demonstrating a Solana mainnet node running on a tablet, which used less than one CPU core. Yakovenko stated, "We did it," and added, "SOL is a currency." The demonstration showed that the tablet-based node caught up with the Solana blockchain in about 10 seconds and began voting. Firedancer developer Ritchie Patel reported that the node connected via 5G network, and the process of booting up to the latest block and starting voting was completed within 10 seconds. Yakovenko also mentioned that maintaining multiple Ethereum virtual machine networks requires a large amount of memory and processing resources, emphasizing the importance of lowering hardware requirements. Meanwhile, the price of Solana ( SOL ) was around $72 at the time of writing, with a rise of over 3% in the past 24 hours.
