  1. Despite fewer nodes, Solana has seen record highs in network activity, decentralized exchange volumes, and ETF inflows.

    Sqlana is centralized larp. Validators are insanely expensive to run ($20,000,000/year minimum to just break even)

    It doesn’t have slashing. Nothing is at stake and yet it’s “proof of stake”.

    Tokenomics are absolutely broken and inflationary to all hell.

    Lots of rampant crime with memecoin cabals, notorious rugs, and even Meteora, Jito, the Solana Foundation being investigated right now with massive potential RICO lawsuits.

    Nothing’s changed since FTX. It’s still a centralized crime chain with a useless token.
