Solana's marketing capabilities are indeed well-developed. A comparison of recent data reveals the clues.
On January 14th, Starknet's on-chain activity was actually quite low—only single-digit daily active users, with just over a dozen transactions per day. Such data, when viewed across the entire ecosystem, can be considered quite quiet. But their market cap was already starting at 1 billion USD, and the fully diluted valuation reached as high as 15 billion. Honestly, this kind of gap is quite outrageous.
The turnaround came quite quickly. By January 16th, Solana officially announced a move—launching the $STRK token through a certain DEX technology. The timing was very tight, indicating they were well-prepared. Some speculate that Solana might be secretly researching similar technical solutions, aiming to overtake competitors in a sudden move. Regardless, this wave of marketing combined with product strategy is definitely worth paying attention to.
---
Sol, this move is quite clever. Timing the STRK launch feels definitely strategic.
---
Wait, Starknet's daily active users are single digits? How dare it be worth $15 billion?
---
Here we go again, the old trick of marketing pump-and-dump. Who profits and who loses, nobody knows for sure.
---
Solana, this timing is extremely sharp. I need to see how it plays out next.
---
It's called marketing in a good way, but in a bad way, it's probably just a pump-and-dump rhythm.
---
The data is so poor yet still so valuable. I suspect I am living in a fake world.
---
STRK's price rose immediately after launch. I should have bought in early.

Solana wants to overtake on the curve? Why does it seem like every chain has the same idea?
Solana really knows how to play the game; the timing is impeccable.
Really want to see what tricks they have up their sleeve next.
With this level of marketing effort, no wonder the ecosystem is so hot.
But we should be cautious about the inflated data; anyone can hype it up.
Starknet's data is also too disappointing; activity is bleak, yet the market cap is still so high? It's a typical case of story outweighing the business.
