Solana co-founder responds to Vitalik's "escape test" narrative: Solana will perish if it stops meeting user and developer needs.

Solana Labs co-founder Toly responded to Vitalik Buterin's assertion that "Ethereum itself must pass the detachment test" in an article on the X platform, stating that he disagrees. He argued that Solana needs continuous iteration and evolution and should not rely on any single team or individual. However, if it stops adapting to the needs of developers and users, Solana will die. Toly pointed out that Solana must have widespread and real-world human use cases and be adopted by a large number of developers, enabling them to generate substantial revenue from on-chain transaction value. This would create a positive feedback loop and allow more resources (such as LLM token credit) to be invested in upstream improvements to this general open-source protocol. He emphasized that the primary goal of protocol changes should be to solve the actual problems of developers or users, rather than trying to cover all needs; choosing not to solve most problems is necessary in itself.
