Gather ’round, friends, and let me spin you a yarn about Solana, the most popular L1 blockchain of 2025, which claims to be safer for artificial intelligence (AI) than Ethereum’s Virtual Machine. Why? Because Solana dApp developers can reuse code like a barn cat with a knack for finding the same bowl of kibble-every day, without fail. Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius (a platform that sounds like it’s for wizards), says it’s the bees’ knees.
Solana is AI-ready, Ethereum is not, here’s why
Thanks to Solana’s “program design” (which sounds suspiciously like a fancy way of saying “we did our homework”), it’s supposedly safer for AI than Ethereum’s Virtual Machine. Developers on Solana need to write less code from scratch, according to Mumtaz, who also happens to have 310,000 X followers. Coincidence? I think not.
Mumtaz claims Solana allows “reusable code” like “pipelines, swaps, token hooks”-all things that can be integrated with a few prompts, no stress tests or security audits. Sounds like the tech equivalent of a self-serve buffet at a party where the host forgot to buy insurance.
And wouldn’t you know it, Solana’s coding tools have gotten easier to use lately, lowering barriers for new developers like a drawbridge at a medieval castle. Suddenly, coding feels less like climbing Mount Everest and more like a stroll through the park-assuming the park is paved with gold and guarded by friendly dragons.
With these “breakthroughs” in resource-effectiveness and accessibility, Mumtaz boldly predicts more 9-10 digit startups on Solana this year:
If you reason up from these, it’s hard not to see how we don’t see at least several more 9-10 digit startups on Solana this year.
And just when you thought he couldn’t get any bolder, Mumtaz also hinted Zcash (ZEC) could hit $9,500 with “simple valuation models.” Simple? Pfft. That’s like saying herding cats is a “light afternoon activity.”
Cardano (ADA) community disagrees
The debate over which blockchain is AI-ready is as heated as a July picnic in the Sahara. Ethereum inches closer to EIP-8004 “Trusted Agents,” which will supposedly make it accessible for AI agents. But meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) supporters, ever the optimists, popped up like daisies in a meadow:
A blockchain built on peer-reviewed research, formal proofs, lower hardware requirements, and Haskell would be orders of magnitude better for AI.
Well, if that’s not the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what is.
As the crypto market stirs like a pot of gumbo, Solana (SOL) price soared to $143, gaining 1.78% in 24 hours. Whether it’s due to AI hype or just a lucky charm, only time will tell. But hey, at least it’s cheaper than a new hat for your pet iguana. 🐍🎩
