Old Concepts Revived as Solana’s Technology Matures
The Solana ecosystem is experiencing friction as Avara CEO Stani Kulechov criticized the DeFi project Kamino for allegedly copying Aave’s technology and having a subpar user interface. This sparked discussions on Crypto Twitter regarding innovation in Solana.
Key insights include:
- Solana's infrastructure supports new business models previously unfeasible due to its low transaction fees, high speed, and consistent uptime.
- Santiago Santos from Inversion Capital highlighted the potential of revisiting past concepts like crypto gaming and options protocols.
- Tensor’s social trading app, Vector, has outperformed its Solana NFT marketplace in revenue, indicating a renewed interest in social trading.
- Sol Strategies, under new CEO Leah Wald, mirrors strategies used by MicroStrategy for Bitcoin, hinting at institutional interest in Solana.
- Historical tech trends reveal that successful execution often outweighs being first to market, suggesting Solana could be poised for significant developments.
