Solana Cancels Major Shanghai Event As Attendance Surge Creates Problems
Summary
Solana Accelerate China, scheduled for October 16 in Shanghai, was postponed shortly before it began after registrations exceeded the venue’s permitted capacity, according to Solana Foundation president Lily Liu. Organisers cited attendance and venue compliance, not a government ban, although China’s restrictions on commercial cryptocurrency activity fueled speculation about intervention. No replacement date had been announced. The disruption inconvenienced attendees and highlighted practical challenges for Solana’s efforts to engage developers in China.
