Those are all great reasons to be excited about Solana.
However, the most compelling IMO is that truly novel products are emerging on a consistent basis from Solana primordial soup. I just don’t see systems like MetaDAO, Ore, etc. being born anywhere else.
This isn’t to downplay the obvious use cases in trading, infra, or payments. They’re critical, and we are funding plenty of stablecoin-related startups right now. But it’s the wave of highly experimental yet commercially viable products forming in the eco that gives us conviction to focus on Solana specifically.
@Colosseum has been approached by nearly every major L1 + L2 foundation to expand to their networks. So far, we’ve declined not because we’re Solana maxis, but because we haven’t seen the same level of founder product-market fit elsewhere.
People often credit us for growing
@Solana’s hackathons to where they are today. The truth is our model only works because Solana already has exceptionally strong PMF with developers and startup founders.
