Remember the bold claims from two years ago? At that time, some people were shouting that Starknet was the true successor to Solana. Fast forward to today, and the situation has reversed in a somewhat painful way— the Solana network experienced an extreme case of 8 users making 10 transactions, which was used as a negative example. What does this comparison data reflect behind it? Is it the decline of Solana, or is the entire Layer2/public chain ecosystem going through different stages of development? It’s worth pondering that Starknet and Solana are fundamentally not on the same path—the former focuses on scaling solutions for the Ethereum ecosystem, while the latter is an independent public chain system. The previous declaration of war now seems to have targeted the wrong opponent. Ecosystem prosperity is not solely dependent on technical metrics; application ecosystems, user stickiness, and market cycles are all key variables. A temporary dip in data cannot change the long-term development trend.

Laughing out loud, the summary about messing up the opponent is hilarious. Thinking about it now, it's a bit embarrassing.

8 users, 10 transactions? Haha, this data is too incredible. The crypto world is really magical realism.

Haha, this is the crypto world. The "chosen one" from two years ago has now become a joke.
Getting the wrong opponent is hilarious; it feels like Starknet fans were just shouting blindly back then.
Solana is also pretty miserable now, but who says a downturn means it's over? The ecosystem is not that simple.
The key still depends on who can retain users; having great technology is useless if you can't keep people.
Honestly, the two approaches are different, and comparing data directly is just ridiculous.
What can short-term data tell us? Market cycles are something everyone has to go through.
But Solana fans probably should reflect a bit; they were overhyping too much.
Ecosystem prosperity is normal with ups and downs; what happens next is still uncertain.

Ha, the talk about Starknet from two years ago now sounds like a joke
Messing up the opponent is really impressive, and they still have the nerve to talk about data
Solana is like this now, but you can't say it's completely finished, it depends on how things go from here
Ecosystem development isn't something that happens overnight; everyone understands the cycle issue
Wait, 8 users and 10 transactions, is that real? Need to check the original data
Short-term data doesn't mean the direction is wrong; too many people don't want to hear this truth
Ultimately, it still depends on who can keep users engaged; technical indicators are just the basics

Haha, the bragging from two years ago has now become a joke
---
The idea of messing up the opponent is interesting, but actually no one has won
---
Basically, it's about finding a scapegoat, not wanting to admit to overlooking something
---
No matter how strong the technology is, if the ecosystem dies, it's useless. When will we understand this principle?
---
If Solana really declines, what should I do with my bag?
---
User stickiness? Come on, everyone, think about how to retain people
---
A short-term downturn and a long-term trend, I've heard this for over a year... still waiting
---
Stop bragging, let's see who can survive until the next bull market
---
Misidentifying the opponent, it feels like the entire track is denying each other
---
In the application ecosystem, who the hell has actually built something?

The saying "mistakenly attacking opponents" is hilarious; at the time, it was truly a collective climax. Looking back now, it's all just a joke.
Sol did indeed underperform, but there's no point in comparing who is worse.
The ecosystem stuff depends on three to five years, not just looking at quarterly data.
Starknet probably isn't doing well these days either, no one should mock anyone.
Wait, are 8 users and 10 transactions real? That's so outrageous.
Having fundamentally different approaches is indeed correct, but why didn't anyone understand that back then?
Talking about ecosystem prosperity is easy; the real challenge is retaining people.
