- Solana is AI-ready, Ethereum is not, here’s why
- Cardano (ADA) community disagrees
Solana, the most popular L1 blockchain of 2025, provides a much safer tech basis for artificial intelligence (AI) applications compared to networks on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Solana dApp developers have more opportunities to reuse the code, Mert Mumtaz, CEO of infrastructure platform Helius says.
Solana is AI-ready, Ethereum is not, here’s why
Thanks to the features of its program design, Solana L1 is much safer for AI experiences compared to Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem networks. While building on Solana, developers need to write significantly less code from scratch, Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana infrastructure service Helius, shares with his 310,000 X followers.

Also, in recent months, the accesibility of Solana coding tools significantly increased, with the barriers to entry lowering for new developers.
In turn, these breakthroughs in resource-effectiveness and accessibility will bring more promising teams to Solana soon:
If you reason up from these, it’s hard not to see how we don’t see at least several more 9-10 digit startups on Solana this year
As covered by U.Today previously, Mert Mumtaz hinted at an “easy” opportunity for Zcash (ZEC) crypto to reach $9,500 based on simple valuation models.
Cardano (ADA) community disagrees
The discussion about which blockchain is AI-ready is heated. Ethereum (ETH) inches closer to the activation of EIP-8004 “Trusted Agents,” which are set to make the largest smart contract platform accessible for autonomous AI agents.
Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) supporters showed up immediately in the comments to Mumtaz’s tweet. They opined that Cardano (ADA) has multiple advantages in the AI race.
A blockchain that was built on foundations of peer-reviewed research, formal proofs, substantially lower hardware requirements, and runs on Haskell would be orders of magnitude better for AI.
As the cryptocurrency market recovers, Solana (SOL) price spikes to $143, adding 1.78% in last 24 hours.

After the Fusaka upgrade, small-value transactions surged, causing massive losses. Although the success rate of attacks is low, attackers continue to carry out these schemes due to low costs. Users need to carefully verify addresses and remain vigilant against such risks.
