[Lily Liu Responds to 'Solana Shanghai Event': Overwhelming Registration Leads to Exceeding Attendance Limit, Event Postponed for Better Preparation] BlockBeats News, October 16 — Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu issued a statement saying, 'We showcased Solana on the big screen (referring to the full-wall light show displayed on the exterior of the Citibank Building in Lujiazui, Shanghai, on the evening of October 14) because of Solana's deep appreciation for the Chinese community. It is also a reflection of our heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome from the Chinese community.' Due to the publicity, the registration for the 'Solana Shanghai Event' quadrupled overnight, far exceeding the attendance limit reported to local government authorities. We were unable to prevent the overwhelming influx of attendees at the event site. Therefore, in order to comply with local regulations, the event will be postponed until we can better accommodate the breadth and scale of the community. We extend our apologies to all friends who traveled from near and far to participate in the Shanghai Solana event.
