According to Odaily Planet Daily, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated that only about six underlying smart contracts are important, and increasing developer options adds business risk.
Jesse Pollak, the head of the Base protocol, believes that the philosophical differences between Solana and Ethereum in smart contract usage are significant. Solana reuses a small number of contracts, while Ethereum believes there are infinite contracts to be built.
Yakovenko added that the current on-chain usage mainly involves tokens, NFTs, and AMMs, with no other factors seen as decisive drivers.
