Solana Foundation chair Lily Liu said on Oct. 16 that the project’s large-scale public display in Shanghai was meant as a gesture of appreciation toward the Chinese community. The display referred to Solana’s lighting show on the full exterior wall of Citibank Tower in Lujiazui on the night of Oct. 14. Liu said publicity around the event caused registrations for Solana’s Shanghai gathering to rise fourfold overnight, pushing the total far beyond the attendance cap previously filed with local government authorities. She added that organizers were unable to prevent excessive crowds from gathering at the venue. To comply with local requirements, the event has been postponed and will be held at a later date once organizers can better accommodate the size of the community. Liu also apologized to people who had traveled from nearby areas and from farther away in hopes of attending the Shanghai event.

The display referred to Solana’s lighting show on the full exterior wall of Citibank Tower in Lujiazui, Shanghai, on the night of Oct. 14. Liu said publicity tied to the event caused registrations for Solana’s Shanghai gathering to increase fourfold overnight, far exceeding the attendance limit that had been filed with local government authorities. She said organizers were also unable to stop too many people from crowding into the site.
To meet local requirements, the event will be postponed and held later, once the venue setup can better accommodate the size of the community. Liu also apologized to people who came from nearby and from farther away hoping to attend the Solana event in Shanghai.
