It's worth questioning whether Solana's recent comparison shot at Starknet holds up under scrutiny. The official Solana account called out the competing L2 solution, but when you dig into the actual on-chain metrics, things get more nuanced. Both networks have distinct trade-offs—Starknet emphasizes Cairo-based security and scalability, while Solana touts throughput and user experience. The real question: are these platforms even direct competitors, or are they solving different problems in the blockchain ecosystem? The public callout raises eyebrows about whether performance metrics alone justify the critique.
