I'd like to highlight another FC user who is an Ethereum-maxi, but is able to be objective on Solana vs Base The man works with 100s of chains with /indexing (his onchain ETL business), so he knows the dirty secrets that most on FC *refuse* to acknowledge lol also I'm his simp, so I'm biased

no offense to you sir but this seems grossly incorrect to me solana is most certainly a garbage centralized L1 where your security and funds and censorship resistance are all directly dependent on a dozen physical servers and the validator cabal that runs them. they can-and-do rollback the chain at any time, it regularly crashes and halts, and as an L1, that's authoritative; user funds are at risk every time the team takes a shit without wiping. im no cb fanboy but the difference is night and day with base - there's still 1 team running aws servers, but as an L2 roll up, a) my security doesn't depend on this team, they can't forge transactions or alter balances, b) my funds on base can't be touched by the base team, they can't rollback the chain, and c) even if they decide to censor me, roll up architecture guarantees a force-exit mechanism so i can withdraw my funds interacting directly with L1

also, shoutout to the unsung hero of the "decentralization" debate - client diversity with solana, client diversity is zero, meaning the future of the chain (and all assets TVL) depends on a single github repo and those who control it with any ethereum L2, the most important thing is that the L1 has client diversity, so even if an L2 stops development or becomes inactive, funds are secure thanks to the exit protocol. ethereum has the best and only frankly the only client diversity in the space.

This! Although I find the idea of adding an L2 to Solana supremely humourous 😂
