Solana Foundation Chief Steps In as Kamino–Jupiter Lend Dispute Escalates
Lily Liu’s involvement marks a notable escalation in a disagreement pitting Kamino Finance, a veteran in Solana lending, against Jupiter Lend, a protocol that has grown to $1 billion in total value locked since its August launch. The dispute — framed around lending mechanics, integrations and allocation of liquidity — has drawn attention across Solana governance forums and developer channels as both projects jockey for market share and partner integrations.
The Solana Foundation president stepping in matters because it raises the prospect of an institutional push toward clearer standards for protocol interactions and risk management on-chain. Market participants say a mediated outcome could stabilise lending APYs and liquidity flows on Solana, while a protracted conflict risks fragmenting liquidity and raising short-term volatility for SOL-linked lending markets. Watch for formal statements and on-chain metrics to gauge any shift in user deposits or governance proposals.
