Toly: Solana must continuously iterate and update; to survive, it must always remain practical.

BlockBeats News, January 18, Solana co-founder Toly responded to Vitalik's view that "Ethereum itself must be tested by the escape test," stating that he has a completely different perspective. Solana must continuously iterate and update, and should not rely on any single team or individual. However, if Solana stops making adjustments based on the needs of developers and users, it will perish. Solana must have significant practical utility for humanity and be used by a large number of developers, who in turn can earn substantial income from the transaction value on Solana. Only in this way can more LLM token credit be obtained for upstream improvements to Solana as a general-purpose open-source protocol.

Therefore, in order to survive, it is necessary to always maintain practicality. The primary goal of protocol changes should be to solve the problems of developers or users, but this does not mean solving all problems. In fact, saying "no" to most problems is necessary.
