Solana mocks Ethereum L2 Starknet over massive valuation versus low activity
The remark sparked a wave of responses from crypto projects and industry figures.
Solana’s official X account on Wednesday publicly mocked Starknet, a prominent layer 2 solution, over a stark mismatch between the project’s valuation and on-chain activity.
The statement pointed to Starknet’s low daily active users and transactions despite maintaining a billion-dollar market capitalization.
“Starknet has 8 daily active users, 10 daily transactions, and still somehow has a 1b MC and 15b FDV,” Solana stated. “Send it straight to 0.”
The post appears to be a sarcastic comment referencing a snapshot of on-chain data from 2024 that showed Starknet with very low daily active users and transaction counts at the time.
