Solana scaling solutions are numerous, with Layer2 and sidechains each showcasing their strengths. However, this leads to fragmented funds and complicated chain switching, making the user experience quite frustrating. No one wants to frequently switch networks and pay extra fees.

Recently, I came across an interesting idea—rather than forcing users to leave the Solana mainnet and jump to various L2 solutions, why not improve the mainnet itself? This approach breaks the conventional scaling mindset. By directly enhancing the mainnet's processing capacity and user experience, it eliminates cross-chain risks and complicated operations. In simple terms, it aims to keep users seamlessly engaged within the Solana ecosystem, rather than dispersing them everywhere. This direction has significant potential for the long-term healthy development of the ecosystem.

honestly this mainnet-first approach hits different... like why fragment everything when you can just fix the base layer? seen too many students get burnt switching between chains, fees eating their lunch money.

This is the right way. Don't bother with so many L2 solutions; if the mainnet is full, just upgrade the mainnet and that's it. --- Honestly, jumping around like this is exhausting, and the gas fees double every time. --- That's reasonable. Instead of dispersing the ecosystem, it's better to strengthen the mainnet, which is much more straightforward. --- Exactly, stop always thinking about creating new things. Isn't it better to make the existing ones solid? --- The Solana ecosystem is so competitive, and splitting into several parts—how can it compete with other public chains? --- Good idea, but it's difficult. If the mainnet's throughput can't be improved, we have to keep tinkering. --- I agree with this logic. No need to play tricks there; just focus on stacking performance. --- If the mainnet experience improves, no one will want to leave. I just wonder if it's technically feasible. --- Haha, finally someone is thinking about the core issue. Fragmented ecosystems are the real cancer. --- The frustrating cross-chain experience has long needed proper improvement. The mainnet's effort to enhance this is indeed clever.

No hype, no negativity. Strengthening the mainnet is indeed much more comfortable than opening L2 everywhere, worry-free. --- It should have been done like this a long time ago. Switching back and forth every day—who can handle that? --- I agree with this logic. Instead of scattering, it's better to concentrate firepower and make the mainnet solid. --- Sounds good, but the key is whether they can really deliver. Otherwise, it's just talk. --- Forget it, I'll just wait and see how Solana whips the whip. --- Finally, someone hit the point. L2 hell is too outrageous. --- The mainnet is congested like this and still dares to boast. I think it's unlikely. --- Hey, this idea is good. It saves the trouble of cross-chain stuff.

Really, there are now too many L2 solutions, and users are playing a link adventure. It's better to strengthen the mainnet directly to save trouble. --- If the Solana mainnet can truly operate stably, who would want to bother with so many side chains, switching back and forth is exhausting. --- Break the mental barriers, I haven't thought of this perspective before... But can it really be achieved? --- Instead of dispersing liquidity in four directions, it's better to concentrate firepower on the mainnet; the logic makes sense. --- It sounds wonderful, but I'm just worried it will end up a mess. Can SOL really stabilize? Let's wait and see. --- Yes, yes, this approach is definitely better than splitting the ecosystem. Finally, someone has a clear understanding. --- It sounds good, but the key is whether it can actually run. There are already many boastings about it.
