"Build on a certain Layer2, and we will fully support you."

This was the original promise. But what is the reality? Recently, such complaints have flooded the community, and the latest "main character" is Base.

A founder of a blockchain game team shared their three-year journey. They were full of hope when investing, but frequently disappointed while waiting, as the promised support was never fulfilled. The team spent a long time developing on Base, with various metrics stuck, and growth stagnating.

Until they made a decision — migrate to Solana.

The turn of events came quickly. The same product, switching to a different ecosystem, and the data instantly came alive. From a suppressed state, it was suddenly released, and the growth curve sharply rose. The various bottlenecks encountered on Base seemed to be no longer issues on Solana.

This story is not just about Base, but about the current state of ecosystem development: promises are easy, but real resource allocation, user accumulation, and ecosystem prosperity require time and substantial support. Some platform support policies indeed do not match actual needs, and there is a huge gap between developers' expectations and reality.
