Solana's co-founder just threw down the gauntlet in what might be the blockchain world's spiciest callout this month. The target? Base and its leadership.
Here's the deal: he's pushing for Base applications to migrate onto Solana's infrastructure, specifically demanding that transactions get linearized by Solana's staked block producers. The pitch sounds straightforward on paper—better for Solana devs, cleaner execution model.
But then came the kicker. He dismissed alternative approaches as "alignment bullshit," cutting straight through the usual diplomatic tech-speak. No sugarcoating. No corporate jargon. Just a blunt challenge that highlights the ongoing tension between competing layer-1 ecosystems.
This isn't just technical nitpicking. It's about developer resources, liquidity fragmentation, and which network ultimately captures the next wave of decentralized applications. The Solana camp clearly believes their consensus mechanism offers something Base can't match.
Whether this leads to actual migration or just more Twitter beef remains to be seen. But one thing's certain: the gloves are off in the race for blockchain dominance.

Haha, the mutual bickering has started again, same old routine.
How could Base possibly listen to advice? It's all for their own ecosystem.
Solana always says the same thing every time, can they actually deliver something real?
Feels like just a traffic war, not much real significance.
My wallet doesn't care who wins, I'm playing on both sides.
This "alignment bullshit" is really hard to take seriously now, they're just straight up arguing.
Wait, why did my assets actually depreciate?
By the way, is anyone still developing on Base these days?

The founder of Sol is really being ruthless this time, directly dissing Base's rhetoric... But I think the phrase "alignment bullshit" is pretty savage.
How will Base respond?
Will the real migration just be empty talk? It’s always like this anyway.

Here we go again, Solana is really going all out against Base.
Base might really get crushed this time.
To put it plainly, they’re just fighting for the ecosystem. Who will have the last laugh is still uncertain.
The term “alignment bullshit” is spot on, haha.
Same old tricks, let’s see if anyone actually moves over to Solana.
They keep dissing each other every day, it’s just confusing users.
Solana is fierce, but Base isn’t easy to mess with either.
When will this back-and-forth ever end?
But hey, it’s entertaining to watch, so let the competition continue!

Here we go again, Solana is once again calling Base over to team up.
The Base team definitely won’t respond, so what’s the point?
It’s just the spectators who are the happiest—they don’t care who wins.

Haha, "alignment bullshit," no one can keep that mouth in check. I really like this kind of straight talk.

The founder of SOL really can't hold it together this time, alignment bullshit haha, is Base about to have its talent poached?

Not gonna lie, the way the Sol founder put it sounds like they're just poaching developers... What can Base even do?
Seriously? They're calling out "alignment bullshit" that directly? That's pretty harsh.
Wait, is this an actual fight or just another round of Twitter drama? I'll bet five bucks nothing will change in the end.
The infrastructure wars never end—I'm just watching to see who survives in the end.
Now how will Base respond... Solana really is stepping up their game.

alignment bullshit? Haha, they're just straight-up calling them out. Solana is going all in this time.
The Base team is going to be really busy now, looks like things are about to blow up.
Honestly, which consensus mechanism is better should be backed by data, just talking tough doesn't mean much.
Damn, the competition between layer 1s is getting fiercer, they're starting to poach each other's people.
I actually enjoy this kind of direct confrontation, it's way more genuine than those fake "collaborations."
For real, will devs on Base jump ship? Fragmented liquidity is going to hurt them this time.
Solana wants to grab Base's market share, but it won't be that easy, it's more complicated than it looks.
Looks like another Twitter war is brewing—grabbing some popcorn and waiting for the show.

Uh... they're dissing each other again. When will these two ecosystems ever calm down?
People from Base must be getting anxious now.
Oh my, Solana is really outspoken this time.
This is why I only hold BTC.
Is that linearized approach really more elegant, or is it just marketing?
