Solana co-founder responds to Vitalik's "escape test" narrative: If it stops meeting the needs of users and developers, Solana will perish

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Solana Labs co-founder toly responded on the X platform to Vitalik Buterin’s statement that “Ethereum itself must pass the escape test,” expressing a different view. He stated that Solana needs continuous iteration and evolution and should not rely on any single team or individual. However, if development and user needs are no longer considered, Solana will face 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 earn substantial income from on-chain transaction value, thereby creating positive feedback and investing more resources (such as LLM token credits) into upstream improvements of this universal open-source protocol. He emphasized that the primary goal of protocol changes should be to solve actual problems faced by developers or users, and not to pursue covering all needs; choosing to “not solve” most issues is itself necessary.
