Solana has long been ascending in DeFi, even surpassing Ethereum in some metrics. However, lately, Solana has seen issues, and also new challenges. These include Sui Network and Cutoshi.
Solana Faces Challenges as ‘High-Performance’ Chain
Boasting as the fastest chain ever, Solana (SOL) has rebounded from its many issues in the past years. After the collapse of FTX, a major investor in Solana, the network and its token suffered. SOL dropped to its yearly lows, reaching single digits. Since then, Solana has proved its resilience. However, more issues linger.
Despite a remarkable recovery, which saw SOL up 533.98% this year, the network faces issues. This puts SOL at $139.54 and the fifth spot among crypto markets. Still, Solana is facing challenges. Continued network congestion and outages put into question its technical resilience.
Moreover, Solana is facing continued criticism over its centralization. Independent validators are few, and most control millions in staked SOL. At the same time, smaller validators rely almost entirely on grants from the Solana Foundation. Some even rely on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), a practice of frontrunning user transactions for profit, which harms users.
Sui Strong Tech Challenges Solana
The “Solana killer” Sui (SUI) is on the upside, rapidly rising among blockchain rankings. Currently standing among the top 20 tokens, this DeFi powerhouse reached an impressive $5 billion market cap. Sui achieved this just two years after its launch.
The key to this growth is its strong tech. The developers behind Sui are former blockchain developers at Facebook. Previously working on Facebook’s discontinued Libra crypto, the developers used this know-how for Sui.
Thanks to its developers, Sui has several important features that challenge Solana. For one, Sui is also positioning itself as a high-performance blockchain, with low fees and fast. At the same time, Sui appeals to developers,
Still, despite this, Sui faces challenges. Its token distribution heavily favors developers and the team, opening it to criticism. This has brought low performance since its launch. The token is up just 10.54% since its launch in 2023. Still, Sui is recovering and is up 359.80% this year.

Cutoshi is Building a True Decentralized Ecosystem
Another token challenging Solana is Cutoshi (CUTO). This memecoin, based on the Chinese Lucky Cat, is not just any memecoin. It is building a complete DeFi ecosystem run by its users and packed with utility.
Cutoshi is building a multichain DEX, token farming, NFTs, a learning platform, and much more. All these serve to reward users and build a stable platform that is there for the long run. Built on Ethereum and embodying the values of Bitcoin creator Satoshi, Cutoshi is all about decentralization. This contrasts with Solana’s centralized infrastructure.
Cutoshi also directly uses Solana’s strategy of leveraging memecoins for growth. As a memecoin itself, it has viral capabilities, attracting retail investors that see potential in memecoins. With memecoins seeing explosive growth recently, this strategy could pay off.
This utility, as well as its fixed supply and deflationary mechanisms, put Cutoshi on a path to $1 very soon. The token could reach this level as soon as it is listed on major exchanges. From there, it can challenge Solana and many more. What is more, thanks to its low presale price of $0.015, Cutoshi is a major opportunity for traders.
