The Solana blockchain network deletes a controversial advertisement after receiving strong backlash regarding gender identity issues.
The advertisement, promoting the Solana Accelerate conference, depicted a character named 'America' in a therapy session and was criticized for trivializing gender identity.
Prominent figures within the cryptocurrency community expressed disapproval of the Solana ad, highlighting its inappropriateness and insensitivity.
The backlash against the ad contradicts Solana Foundation's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as stated in its code of conduct.
