Starknet once faced some pretty fair criticism—the metrics told the whole story. User adoption was sluggish, and trading volumes didn't exactly paint a rosy picture.

The plot twist? Other projects started calling it out too. What makes it interesting is that even Solana weighed in, and honestly, they weren't completely off base either. You can argue about the specifics, but when multiple players in the ecosystem start pointing at the same issues, there's probably something there worth paying attention to.
