Raj argues Solana was built with a differentiated scaling approach: a single, non-sharded state machine with no layer-2s, designed for tens to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. He says relentless improvements in performance, cost, throughput, and latency have attracted fanatical validators, developers, and now institutional users, and that the network is economically sustainable through priority fees while targeting all finance and exchange execution. In his view, adoption and momentum are self-reinforcing and still early.
