According to ChainCatcher, Pantera Capital said in its report that Solana is the Mac OS in the blockchain.

In its report, it said that Solana has gained considerable market share in the past year, a shift reminiscent of Microsoft's dominance in the early desktop computer market until Apple made a breakthrough through its vertical integration approach. Solana is now a major competitor in the future of blockchain development.

Solana's overall architecture has a product roadmap that focuses on optimizing each component of its own blockchain, similar to Apple's approach to vertically integrating hardware and software stacks in macOS.
