Ada was the dog of Anatoly Yakovenko, the founder of Solana. Contrary to popular belief, Anatoly was the original founder of Solana, yet no one had found the name of his dog that he mentioned and posted about on his Instagram until now.

If you go to his Instagram page, there’s dozens of images of his beloved dog, who was a bullmatian terrier. https://www.instagram.com/aeyakovenko/ Additionally, you can find more pictures of his dog on his wife’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lauraeskelton/photos He also mentions his dog on Twitter https://twitter.com/aeyakovenko/status/1447632119304384515

To find his dogs name, we had to dig through his and his wife's social media accounts. First, we located his wife’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/skelovenko. She has her GitHub account directly linked on her profile, and she created a code titled Dog Chat. https://github.com/lauraskelton/dog-chat The image she uses to demonstrate her code is her and Anatoly’s dog. The image demonstrates, “Message from Ada: “Woof.” This shows that their dog is named Ada. See image below:
