The SOL ecosystem exploded over the weekend—two leading lending protocols had a public falling out!

To put it simply: one side accused the other of product risks and misleading users, even going so far as to block the other's API tools. The founders of both sides got involved directly, making for a heated confrontation. The SOL Foundation stepped in urgently to calm things down, essentially saying, “Don’t air our dirty laundry in public—internal strife only benefits other blockchains.”

First, the conclusion: the sky hasn’t fallen. In a fast-growing ecosystem, it’s pretty common for core projects to have technical disagreements, which to some extent shows that everyone is working seriously. But in the short term, this kind of negative sentiment will definitely impact prices, and volatility is inevitable.

So what should ordinary investors do?

**Don’t let emotions lead you.** The data speaks for itself—these two protocols have a combined TVL in the billions of dollars, so the ecosystem foundation is still solid. Don’t panic sell just because the big players are arguing; don’t give up your quality tokens so easily.

**Stay informed, but don’t just watch the drama.** Focus on two things: do the “risk points” they’re arguing about actually threaten fund safety? Can the foundation push for a quick reconciliation and restore cooperation? These two factors determine how serious this incident really is.

**Diversification is key.** No matter how bullish you are on an ecosystem, don’t go all-in. With proper asset allocation, you can stay calm in the face of such unexpected events.

My personal take: internal strife actually proves that the ecosystem is still active and growing, with everyone competing for market share. In the short term, it’s just noise; in the long term, as long as the issues are properly resolved, healthy competition will only drive overall progress. Stay calm and don’t let internal friction cloud your judgment of the bigger trend.
