ChainThink report, December 11: At the Solana Breakpoint conference, Bitwise Co-Founder and CIO stated that applications on Solana truly harness the final 1% of performance compared to networks like Ethereum, delivering the next marginal gains in liquidity and scalability for users.

On many blockchains, running a node is simply "downloading software and double-clicking to launch," after which the amount staked—whether large or small—makes little difference to the network or user experience; however, on Solana, the application landscape evolves daily, with rapid iteration at the protocol layer, performance, and capacity, where node performance directly determines the ceiling.

It's precisely because of this that we are especially attentive: as this product (referring to staking-based ETF/trust) increasingly locks in more SOL and grows in weight, it is crucial that the ecosystem, developers, users, and the entire community feel—its scale expansion will not crush market structure or the ecosystem, but instead make the network more stable, reliable, and resilient enough to support the next wave of innovation.
