As someone who's spent time on both chains, I'll say this — Solana is blazing fast and great for pushing updates quickly, but the tooling still feels fragile at times. Ethereum, on the other hand, may be slower, but the dev ecosystem is rock solid.

For critical apps? I go ETH.
For experiments and performance-heavy stuff? Solana all day.

Also, lately I've been exploring L2s more (shoutout to Base & zkSync), and they feel like the sweet spot between both worlds.

Anyone else building cross-chain these days?
