The survey shows that 32 out of 42 Solana founders view “MEME” coins as beneficial to Solana’s ecosystem. Moreover, more than half would opt to work on blockchain alternatives like Base or SUI, indicating a flexible approach within the industry.

Founders identified Multichain as the leading venture capital in the crypto space, while Binance Labs fell short. Despite its independent progress, Solana’s past association with FTX remains a reputational hurdle. Solana’s startup scene sees HIGH appreciation for Jito, but partners like Pump.fun and AI Agent are less favored.
