Hi guys, it looks like Solana is confidently going to get into the top three by coinmarketcap. That's right, fundamental projects like Solana should be in the top 3.
But I am interested to hear your opinion, what project could repeat the success of Solana, and just as confidently get into the top 10, and grow in price several times?
If study Solana, then I can highlight the following factors that influenced its success:
1. Fundamental project
2. Strongest venture funds
3. Strong community
Based on this, several projects can be distinguished that have the same factors: NEAR Protocol, Avalanche, Cosmos, Elrond, (also can add Polkadot and Cardano, but these projects are already in the top10)
The only real competitor on that list is NEAR protocol. It has appchains with Octopus Network (which has superior tech and scalability to Polkadot), it can run the EVM with Aurora sidechain, it has the only 100% trustless cross-chain bridge, it uses blockchain (unlike IOTA and Hedera, which use less secure DAGs and Hashgraphs), and NEAR can scale to infinite TPS with horizontal sharding. I should also mention that NEAR has 2 second transaction finality, which is superior to Solana, it has private transactions on private shards. NEAR is financially backed by coinbase and greyscale, so it has the funding it needs to grow its ecosystem (800 million dollars of it dedicated to grants). The thing that won me over was the absolutely ridiculous amount of APY I'm getting farming on Ref Finance on NEAR and Burrow will launch soon, which means I can cash out my NEAR by taking a loan and I won't have to legally pay taxes. It would surprise me if NEAR surpasses Solana and ends up in the top 5 cryptos.
