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

Base as an optimistic roll-up *can* be rolled back, but I don't believe they ever have Totally agree that inheriting the decentralization of Ethereum is a net positive though and de-risks much of the centralizations we see in L2s Perhaps the bigger piece here is that comparing the decentralization of an EVM L2 and an alt-L1 like Solana isn't really an apples-to-apples comparison (can't really view Base independent of Ethereum mainnet)
