Odaily News Solana Foundation Executive Director Dan Albert said the ability to coordinate patches does not mean the Solana network is centralized, a view that refutes recent claims that the network is not decentralized. On August 9, Solana validator Laine shared details of a critical vulnerability they believe could have paralyzed the network. Validators privately coordinated the deployment of the patch, claiming that if the vulnerability was leaked, attackers could reverse engineer it and paralyze the network. Because the deployment of the patch was done quietly and the coordination was done behind the scenes, some questioned the degree of decentralization of the network. Cointelegraph)
