However, the next proposal invalidated the decision. The SLND2 mentioned that the network has been listening to the users' criticism over the first one and how it was conducted. Along with this, the voting time was prolonged to one day. Solend noted that the SOL price started to grow and there is some time to receive more feedback and consider alternatives. The SOL price increased by around 12% in the last 24 hours. Currently, the coin trades at about $36.
