The Pacmoon team decided to migrate to Solana due to several challenges they faced with the Blast network. According to Lamboland, a key team member, Blast network's framework did not adequately support native tokens and lacked the necessary social support for community-driven growth of meme coins. These challenges led the team to seek a more supportive environment on the Solana blockchain, known for fostering a thriving memecoin ecosystem.

Attention all Pacmoon holders! Prior to the migration, it is recommended that you burn your $PAC tokens before August 14.
