Base

You have to know what you're good at.

Solana is a trendy brand fit for memecoins.
Base is a more serious brand fit for builders.

Base will win when the market is ready for the builders. Base is not a great fit for memecoins. There are many great application-focused tokens on Base. The time of the builders will come.

Disagree with this assessment. On example to refute "Solana is just for memecoins" is telco-DePIN - specifically HeliumMobile - which has serious builders and is one of the most successful crypto projects outside of finance.

The more accurate assessment is that a duopoly is forming.

latest data of @alliancedao applicants confirms my gut feeling. a duopoly is forming between base and solana. and it's unclear who #3 is at the moment.

Coinbase and Solana are very different brands and will attract different use cases overall even if there is some overlap. Think Apple / Microsoft

Agree that they are different brands. But, at least for DePIN projects, the data suggests that neither is winning along some use case or brand thesis.* It's more likely to just be BD related wins/losses, or just founder chain bias.

*You could argue that Solana winning for telco-related DePIN, but that's not clear yet either.
