## @RothvaleAI (Rothvale AI) · 09-16 00:00 · ♥309 ↻0 💬0 Solana Development: Why Building on SVM Has Become the Most Promising Niche Stack in Web3 For a long time, the EVM stack (Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry) remained the industry standard for Web3 developers. But while most were learning to write simple smart contracts for Ethereum, a separate engineering elite was forming in the shadows — developers on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

Today, Solana development is not just another framework, but one of the highest-paid and most in-demand niche skills in high tech. Why developers are flocking to the Solana ecosystem:

⚙️ 1. Transition to Rust and the Anchor framework Solidity is easy to learn but severely limited in performance. Solana demands knowledge of Rust — a language with strict memory discipline and high security. Writing programs in Rust combined with the Anchor framework filters out "random" people and fosters a strong engineering culture. You learn to write code that runs at native hardware speed.

🌐 2. SVM expansion beyond a single network The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) is no longer a local technology. Today, new L2 networks, sidechains, and specialised blockchains (e.g., Eclipse) are being built on SVM. By learning to write for SVM, a developer gains a universal skill applicable to an entire class of high-performance networks.

🛠 3. Building products, not just smart contracts Thanks to negligible fees and high speed, Solana allows you to do what is physically impossible on other networks:

Ultra-fast order books for DeFi (Orderbook DEX); Infrastructure for DePIN (managing physical hardware and sensors); PayFi protocols for real-time streaming payments.

🤖 4. The native stack for Dev AI and autonomous agents AI agents performing microtransactions require minimal latency. AI developers increasingly choose Solana as the backend for integrating programmatic wallets with agents, creating huge demand for developers who can connect the Python/TypeScript AI stack with Solana programs. Summary If Web2 developers today face fierce competition, and the traditional Solidity market is oversaturated with juniors, Solana development remains a niche with an extremely high barrier to entry and a proportionally high value for specialists. A Solana developer today is not just "a guy writing smart contracts," but a distributed systems engineer building the backend for the new financial and machine internet. https://x.com/RothvaleAI/status/2100012002823241737

I think the more interesting question around BTCFi isn't simply:

How do we bring Bitcoin onchain?

It's:

What can Bitcoin actually do once it's there?

That’s where strkBTC on @Starknet caught my attention.

Instead of treating BTC as an asset that just sits in a wallet, strkBTC gives it access to Starknet’s DeFi ecosystem - from earning and lending to borrowing and trading.

There’s also a privacy layer for certain activities through shielded modes, giving users more control over what they expose onchain.

So for me, BTCFi is becoming less about simply moving Bitcoin across chains.

It’s about building an environment where Bitcoin can become productive while users retain more control over their onchain activity. 🛡️₿ https://x.com/dinhturin/status/2100017893392122047

Case in point: DeFi Summer, 6 years ago.

Almost none of the leading apps or chains then, are still leaders today.

Most died or became irrelevant.

In truth, so few projects can really stand the test of time. https://x.com/RyanWatkins_/status/2100016743129514282
