The biggest problem to the Solana ecosystem isn’t technical — it’s cultural. 

Builders are being drowned out by extractive meme culture. Tools like @pumpdotfun, while novel, have become net negatives. They don’t onboard real users they siphon attention and liquidity away from value creation.

Even @pasternak now seems more focused on extracting than building.

We need to fix the incentives:

Highlight and fund real builders.

Create guardrails that reward reinvestment.

Build culture around creation, not just speculation.

Memes can be fun, but they shouldn't be the main event. If Solana wants to outlast the hype cycles, it must value the builders.
