As Solana's ecosystem shifts toward rewarding contribution rather than pure extraction, infrastructure projects like FairScale are emerging as critical building blocks. This transition signals a maturing network that prioritizes sustainable value creation and fair participant incentives. FairScale's positioning aligns with this broader movement, offering mechanisms to align economic incentives with network health. The ability to quantify and reward genuine contributions could reshape how developers and communities participate in the Solana economy. Whether this approach gains traction will likely depend on adoption rates and the project's execution in delivering measurable value to users.
