I think the real problem for Solana is not tech, but that Ethereum & EVM network effects are really strong, and in the bear market we're in network effects matter even more.

yeah while that might be true to some degree, I don't see that property attracting new builders on the chain, which is vital for continued growth and relevance. 

Builder decision: Build on exciting new L2 on eth with incentives, with bigger ecosystem and user base, or build on Solana with tech lock in?

I listened to a podcast with Anatoly recently and he had an interesting take on that. He thinks long-term, being non-EVM gives them more hope of survival b/c there's fungibility across EVM chains (Dont like AVAX, go somewhere else).

Ppl who build on Solana's stack have higher switching costs if they want to leave.
