Solana

Building a social protocol on Solana feels like one of the bigger opportunities in crypto right now 

There's a few people exploring it but it feels like an obvious opportunity bc there's a decent amount of DAUs on Solana and it seems like the ecosystem that's growing the fastest in crypto

It seems that Solana is onboarding users at a faster rate than ETH 

This is just my hunch. Haven’t dug too deep into the data so it’s anecdotal 

More daily activity and volume so easier to capture users/fees/value

What benefits would being built on Solana have over something like Farcaster that is built on Ethereum (Optimism)?

Who are these people, would love to connect

For a brief movement in Farcaster history I thought both Ethereum and Solana communities would land here...

Maybe but how many of those users have been active onchain lately? 

I’d bet that Solana has onboarded more people to onchain activity this year than all EVMs chains combined 

FC could cater more to the Solana crowd by enabling transaction support without building FC on Solana

My point is that there’s an opportunity to cater to this crowd whether it’s FC or a new social protocol that’s more natively built on Solana

I feel like the aggregate user base of all EVM compatible chains is still way bigger than Solana, even if you discount side L1s. idk, just like you it's just a hunch, but if I were to choose an ecosystem to build on for a social protocol with a vocation of onboarding as many users as possible, I would probably go with something EVM.

I could hardly find any solana crowd on fc. Probably tribal

Solana for sure feels like getting more new ppl in & grow fast. Community also very proactive. Just an observation w/o details

How long have you been working it on it?
