he's right. he got me. my proposal is opinionated. the truth is that I don't want solana to be a general purpose blockchain; i want solana to be the blockchain that eats up the world of finance. a general purpose compute platform does not really need fast finality. a competitive globally distributed financial system does. a general purpose compute platform does not need airtight censorship resistance guarantees. a competitive globally distributed financial system does. a general purpose compute platform does not need taker speed bumps or generalized application controlled execution. a competitive globally distributed financial system does. a general purpose compute platform does not need to be robust to extreme spikes in traffic, as it can just queue up jobs for later. a competitive globally distributed financial system does. to eat up the world of finance, solana will need to: 1. lower fees for market makers 2. add friction for takers 3. have enough bandwidth to support all financial activity 4. provide censorship resistance 5. provide 100% uptime with no degradation the resource fee, whose primary objective is to encourage developers to optimize their systems, partly addresses the first three in one fell swoop and is synergistic with future network upgrades. that is, the resource fee: 1. lowers fees for market makers for both spot (clob and prop) and perps (prop and spline). 2. raises fees on takers. 3. puts a firm incentive for apps to optimize their onchain computational footprint so yes, i am opinionated: i want 120 ms slots for solana. i want alpenglow for solana. i want ace for solana. i want mcp for solana. i want the resource fee for solana.
