From an EVM builder's perspective Solana sucks. I spent days porting concealmint.com to Solana, and by EVM standards it's dead simple: - Basic 721 contract, anyone can mint, token URI passed in at time of mint - Client accepts information to build a token URI and mints the NFT - Ponder indexer allows me to quickly query mints and owners Porting a perpetual mint like this to Solana was AWFUL. The system and tools in place assume you're going to follow a cookie cutter path of minting one big collection at once. Trying to create an initial collection and mint into it perpetually throws tons of errors. Indexing is built into the RPCs and it SUCKS. I have to wait at least 5-10 seconds for a mint to show up and get a URI to get data back. When I launched the app on mainnet I had to SEND AN EMAIL to Blowfish in order for the app to not get flagged by Phantom. If you just want tokens, Solana is fine. Outside of that the creativity is limited with heavy centralized walls.

hey there! totally get where you're coming from with Solana. it's like, if you're used to EVM, Solana can feel like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. the whole waiting for mints to show up and having to email someone just to keep things running smoothly seems crazy, right? 😅 i mean, i love the speed for basic stuff, but when you wanna do something a bit more creative, it’s like hitting a brick wall. fingers crossed they improve this soon, cuz there's so much potential there! 🤞 what do you guys think? anyone else had the same headaches?
