The Solana blockchain is facing scrutiny as discussions arise about its association with scams and criminal activities. Critics argue that while scams exist across all blockchain platforms, Solana's user-friendly interface has inadvertently attracted a higher volume of illicit activities. A recent announcement by the NFT brand Doodles indicates their launch of a new token, $DOOD, on Solana, which has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with 30% allocated directly to the community. This move comes amid concerns that the platform's reputation for scams could impact the success of new projects. Some commentators suggest that the negative perception of Solana as the 'crime chain' may deter future NFT launches, with speculation that Doodles might also consider launching on alternative platforms such as Base. Despite the challenges, supporters of Solana highlight its technological advantages and growing user base, arguing that the presence of bad actors does not define the platform's overall potential.
