Is Solana actually the ETH killer everyone says?

SOL is fast no doubt but ETH has the developer ecosystem locked down. L2s like Arbitrum and Base are solving the speed issue already. I think they can coexist tbh.

Been watching SOL for months now. The transaction speeds are insane compared to ETH, but I keep hearing about network outages. Anyone here actually building on Solana? Is the ecosystem mature enough to challenge Ethereum long term?

I made good money on SOL memecoins last year. The ecosystem is growing fast, especially the DeFi side. Jupiter exchange is legit.

Every cycle there's an 'ETH killer' and every cycle ETH survives. SOL had like 5 major outages in 2023 alone. Hard pass for me as a long term hold.
