Solana's Head of Growth for Asia Pacific, Yaoyao, posted on the X platform that before joining Solana, in 2023, they attended a Starknet event and tried to discuss expansion plans for the Asia Pacific region with the team. During a conversation with a Starknet executive, the executive displayed arrogance, stating that Yaoyao's inquiry about the reasons and ways to join the company was very rude.

Yaoyao mentioned that they were still working at Bybit at the time and were also undergoing interviews with Solana, and this experience ultimately led to their decision to join Solana. Yaoyao also stated that the ecosystem is defined by people, and if one does not stand with the community, there will be no support.
