[Solana Co-Founder Responds to Vitalik's 'Escape Test' Narrative: Solana Will Perish If It Stops Meeting User and Developer Needs] Odaily Planet Daily News – Solana Labs co-founder Toly responded on the X platform to Vitalik Buterin's viewpoint that 'Ethereum itself must pass the escape test,' expressing a differing opinion. He stated that Solana needs to continuously iterate and evolve and should not rely on any single team or individual. However, if it stops adjusting based on developer and user needs, Solana will head toward extinction. Toly pointed out that Solana must have broad and genuine human use cases and be adopted by a large number of developers, enabling it to generate significant revenue from on-chain transaction value. This would create a positive feedback loop, allowing more resources (such as LLM token credit) to be invested in upstream improvements to this general-purpose open-source protocol. He emphasized that the primary goal of protocol changes should be to address actual problems faced by developers or users, rather than striving to cover all needs. Choosing 'not to solve' most issues is itself necessary.
