[Justin Bons @Justin_Bons]

SOL is best positioned to deliver on the promise of the cypherpunk revolution 🗽

BTC & ETH push users into centralized L2s due to a lack of L1 capacity

Only a high-throughput chain like SOL can support privacy at scale!

Making SOL a better money, SoV & platform for freedom! 🧵

The brain-dead response to that is: "SOL is centralized!"

The truth is that SOL is one of the most decentralized cryptocurrencies out there & will only become more so on its current trajectory:

SOL is decentralized

With around 900 validators, a Nakamoto Coefficient of 20 & ZERO permissioned elements. The facts speak for themselves: SOL's decentralization is respectable

Being more decentralized than BTC yet less decentralized than ETH currently. That is, if we ignore BTC & ETH governance...

There is no "off-switch", it is not all fake & there is no secretive cabal controlling everything. Foundation subsidies are being phased out (explaining why validator counts have dropped recently)

The amount of crazy propoganda leveraged against SOL is worthy of the important role it will likely play in the world. Much like the early days of BTC & ETH when they were still threats to the status quo

As restricting the capacity of BTC & ETH has neutered their revolutionary impact:

Scalability matters

There is no point to crypto if the world cannot use the most empowering aspects of the tech at scale

The real tragedy is that chains that restrict capacity in the name of decentralization only end up destroying both in the long run

Pushing users into centralized alternatives, as the top L2s can now all steal user funds & censor. Or the fact that even mass self-custody becomes impossible with so little capacity. Ends up defeating all the first principles these chains once claimed to hold dear

Without scale, crypto cannot be money or finance. Reducing it to only being a SoV, a purely speculative asset. Which, ironically, also makes it a bad SoV!

Economics

Props to ETH for adopting the ideal economic design: Low tail inflation + fee burn. That is why SOL also effectively adopted the same economic design!

The difference is that SOL scales, while ETH does not

This matters a lot, as ultimately decentralization, scarcity & security are derived from FEES!

A high-throughput chain like SOL can support commerce & all of finance. Massively eclipsing the fees that a low-capacity network can charge

We now have plenty of experiance with congested blockchain economics & can conclude that high individual TX fees are not sustainable. Because usage inevitably bleeds over to alternatives, such as centralized systems or competitors like SOL!

That is how I see a path for a high-throughput chain, such as SOL, to become the most decentralized chain in existence by a massive margin in the long run. As fees are what PAY for decentralization, scarcity & security

Fat protocol thesis

The most powerful revelation in blockchain design is that combining all three aspects: Money, SoV & SC platform makes all three stronger. It becomes a virtuous cycle. As these attributes reinforce each other

A strong foundation in money/utility (creates more scarcity & stability), strengthening the SoV aspects. While it is becoming a better SoV strengthens its use in finance (platform), which in turn strengthens security (SoV) & so it goes on in an endless self-reinforcing positive cycle

That is why BTC is not the best SoV, ETH is not the best SC platform & "privacy coins" are not the best privacy solution

The perfect blockchain design combines all three into a single chain. That was Bitcoin's & Ethereum's original vision & I am still here to make that cypherpunk dream become a reality

Today, SOL is without a doubt best positioned to take on that role, as it is sufficiently decentralized & has high capacity, with the right economic design. While & this is very important: SOL is by far the leader in real usage right now

Privacy

We have to build robust privacy solutions where the users/usage is

Tools like @theprivacycash built on SOL, in my view, offer the best balance of trade-offs. Similar to Tornado Cash & Railgun on ETH. Anonymizing users at the "application layer" still allows them to interact with transparent, pre-existing smart contracts on-chain

Privacy is still computationally expensive, so it is not yet feasible to build a high-throughput chain where privacy is the default. It is one of the many reasons why I advocate for on-chain privacy as an option

There are also plenty of cases where transparency is a good thing. So by anonymizing individual users, we can get the best of both worlds

Conclusion

There is narrative & there is reality. The truth breaks the popular narrative in this case

We must push back, for the sake of the cypherpunk dream. As many people will ridicule these "out of sync" statements, but if you really stop to think about it, honestly. You will find that the code does not lie:

Economics is a powerful force, & politics often only trails behind once it is set in motion. So it should not come as a surprise:

That in a game-theoretical cryptographic network based on economic incentives, the chain with the best economics (based on usage) will also become the most decentralized, thereby "liberating" the most people in the process

That is what it means to truly deliver on the original promises of the cypherpunk revolution & Satoshi's Bitcoin. To be P2P Electronic Cash!

So help us spread this controversial message, if you care about crypto & its original vision. Then say it loud:

SOL is cypherpunk! 🔥

This is a really key point. When leader -> leader communication happens over DoubleZero we see a substantially Increased Bandwidth and Reduced Latency - this will only increase as more and more validators join the network.

Stop lying about Solana!

SOL is a public & permissionless blockchain with a high validator count & Nakamoto Coefficient

Making censorship or theft impossible for the same reasons BTC & ETH are secure: Decentralization!

So stop spreading ignorance & educate yourself instead! 🎓

The problems today facing modern blockchains are that of communication, not compute.

Multicast acts as hardware acceleration for packets, finding the shortest possible path to propagate state updates globally.

This technology, when applied to blockchain, is truly a step-function change for what's possible in terms of data propagation.

SoLaNa Is DeAd 🤡

Except...

- Solana was #1 in real economic value (what people pay to access blockspace): $8.5 million in the past week
- $29 billion in weekly spot DEX volume, higher than the entire "Ethereum ecosystem"
- 540 million weekly transactions, 3x more than ALL OTHER CHAINS COMBINED
- 15 million weekly actives, MORE THAN ALL OTHER CHAINS COMBINED

Not to mention:

- SOL ETFs absolutely crushing, seeing net inflows from institutions as a new longterm holder base forms
- Colosseum ended, thousands of new builders are joining our ecosystem this month
- Solana continues to be the place where the bleeding edge lives: see the ascendence of ORE, MetaDAO, Rush, Soar, etc. New products find PMF every week
- Apps on Solana earned $23 million (!) this week in revenues, it continues to be the preferred network for serious builders
- Solana Breakpoint is one month away, and hundreds of teams will make groundbreaking announcements + Alpenglow on testnet
- ________ is launching this week - plus another staggering set of new products

Manlets and Solana enjoyers -

The reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated

Facts matter. Usage matters. Products matter. Revenue matters.

Hang in there :)
