❶. Bots are constantly exploiting users.
This issue affects all chains except central chains such as
➜Ethereum’s
➜ Base
➜ Decision
Or L2s for #Cardano
Where the sequencing device can capture fees, reducing the rewards for stake holders.
It is a trade-off between central L2s.
❷ Transactions fail without sufficient slippage, but users still pay fees for failed attempts.
➫ If the swap does not meet the user's requirements, it will still be paid since the network processed it according to the instructions.
➫ Failed transactions are counted in TPS metrics, just like in #Ethereum.
❸.#FTXplatform will sell
$7.5B in $SOL with the grand opening in March 2025 and monthly openings continuing through 2028.
❹. The blockchain has experienced at least 12 network outages so far.
➫ Despite the#Solanaoutage, improvements are being made with Firedancer and a multi-client setup like Ethereum.
❺. Five RPC providers can pre-process your transactions.
➫ Any RPC node can misuse your data, so always choose trusted nodes.
➫ This applies to Ethereum as well.
➫ The truth is that if people are trading, there will always be a system for trading and there will always be a way for demand to be re-extracted.
❻. Their TPS is misleadingly marketed as 3000, but it includes voting and failed transactions.
➫ The actual TPS is around 600.
➫ TPS metrics are complex, tracked by third-party block explorers, and include voting transactions, which fit the Solana consensus model.
➫ Solana handles over 800 TPS without voting and aims to reach 50k-200k with updates like Firedancer.
❼. Recently voted, giving validators (wealthy - whales) 100% of high priority transactions
➫ Solana's recent change removed the tipping-related copy mechanism to prevent trades with validators, improving rewards and network health.
➫ People were exiting the network to avoid the burn, which hurt Solana's incentives.
❽. If you want to become a network auditor, you will need a large fortune.
➫ Solana validators cost more, but are rewarded for better performance, which helps Solana meet demand, a problem Cardano doesn't have, and Ethereum has outsourced L2s.
❾. The Solana project and network has been in beta for 4.5 years.
10. Solana's circulating supply increased by $59.09 million in the past year, reaching $8.5 billion.
➫ Solana's circulating supply also grew due to early investment unlocks and inflation, but unlocks have started to decline.
➫ The inflation rate is around 3.5%, and it decreases annually until it reaches 1.5%.
➫ All networks have their strengths and weaknesses, however Solana leads in most metrics.
➫ SOL is constantly outperforming competitors, attracting more activity and developers.
➫ Criticism often comes from holders of poorly performing altcoins.
What do you expect for Solana in the future?
