Sol and BSC have recently encountered problems that are quite similar. One is internal strife within the ecosystem, and the other is congestion; although their surface issues differ, fundamentally both are relying on their old reputation. While Sol has improved its TPS, innovation in ecological applications remains weak; BSC, on the other hand, is extremely congested, gas fees are soaring, and user experience is declining sharply. Both public chains once enjoyed great popularity, but now they are stuck in the same dilemma—traffic is there, but ecosystem vitality is fading. It looks lively, but in reality, they are on a downward trend. However, competition among public chains is always like this; fortunes change, and no one should laugh at others.

Basically, these two were too arrogant back then, now it's time to pay off the debt.

Really, Sol is almost useless now, while BSC is so congested it’s like a mess. Feels like no one is playing on either. Speaking of which, the phrase "living off past glory" hits home. The once-star projects have now become infrastructure. With gas fees so high, someone should have stepped up long ago to overthrow them. Despite pouring so much money into the Sol ecosystem, why are there still no decent projects? Actually, it’s all self-inflicted; it’s too inflated. BSC is okay, at least stable, just a bit expensive... and lacking popularity. This is probably the fate of public chains: they rise quickly and die just as fast. The problems with Sol are much more serious than expected. Can speed alone create any new innovations? Let’s wait and see who can truly break the deadlock. Right now, it’s all just a bluff.

Haha, don't even mention it. The Sol ecosystem is really just surviving on memes. Innovation? No one cares anymore. BSC is so congested, and people still use it—it's really just because there's no other choice; the gas fees are directly discouraging users. Both chains give off the vibe of former giants turning into retirement homes. Wait, is there any new public chain that can compete... Honestly, no one can escape the fate of decline.

I really didn't expect these two public chains to play out the same tricks; I should have seen it coming earlier.

Really, Sol and BSC are now like two former top contenders, one has no content left and the other is clogged to the brim, both are just riding on their past glory. --- The congestion is absolutely terrible, if gas fees keep rising like this, users will start to leave. --- Traffic is still lively but has lost its vitality, it’s quite ironic. Is this the fate of public chains? --- Haha, the wheel of fortune turns, and it’s true—who will rise to the top now? --- It’s called fierce competition in a nice way; in less nice terms, no one expected how to break the deadlock. --- TPS has increased, but it feels like it’s not very useful; compared to that, smaller chains with innovation are better. --- Internal ecosystem conflicts and network congestion, although they sound like different problems, are actually dead ends.

Honestly, Sol and BSC are now like two washed-up stars, each with their own flaws. Haha, internal ecosystem conflicts vs. ecosystem congestion, a scene of choice paralysis. What’s the use of high TPS? What kind of applications are there? That gas fee on BSC, I don’t even dare to put it on the chain anymore, just give up. Wait, isn’t this the fate all L1s have to go through? The cycle of fortune and misfortune really is like that, no one can escape. It’s just a lack of new stories; no one is willing to take over. Looking at these two chains, I recall the days when Ethereum was congested. When the market is bad, forget all innovations.
