FlashTrade Shuts Down, Founder Seeks to Sell Tech Stack to Compensate FAF Holders

Odaily News: Anas posted on platform X, stating that the Solana perpetual contract protocol FlashTrade will be shutting down the project and seeks to sell its existing tech stack to compensate FAF holders. Anas cited severe internal team disagreements, a shrinking market, and a prolonged lack of profitability as reasons for the closure, adding that what hurt him most personally was the Solana Foundation's indifference toward the team. He claimed that the Solana Foundation only fully supports one team because it believes this contributes to Solana's success, while emphasizing that he is not blaming the foundation for the project's failure and acknowledged being overly emotional about the matter. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko subsequently responded, stating that the foundation cannot determine whether a product succeeds, as its primary role is to assist with go-to-market efforts and expand exposure at product launch, and that ultimately, whether attention translates into users depends on the product itself.
