Solana's deep collaboration with X is indeed worth paying attention to. As a social platform with hundreds of millions of users, if X directly integrates Solana into its application, the logic behind it is very clear—using the traffic entry point of social media to directly showcase the possibilities of on-chain applications to ordinary users.

This is not only a means of ecological traffic diversion but also a way to break through barriers and spread widely. The traditional social media user’s threshold for engaging with crypto applications will be significantly lowered. When Web3 features become part of daily social interactions, the cost of user education will decrease substantially. Solana leverages this to expand its ecological participant base, while X is also seeking new avenues for commercial growth.

The essence of their cooperation is essentially a test—whether it is possible for the general public to naturally transition to on-chain interactions without perceiving it. This will have a substantial impact on the overall popularization of the ecosystem.

This trick, to put it simply, is about making people get caught in it unknowingly, really sneaky. That's right, but the key is whether those technical bottlenecks can be solved. Solana's move this time is a brilliant one, X isn't stupid either, a win-win situation. Lower user education costs? Come on, in the end, you still have to pay tuition. Yeah, this is what you call a new way of monetizing traffic, very clever. If it works, other chains will probably follow suit. The question is, are there really that many people interested in on-chain interactions? I remain skeptical. Anyway, at least it provides ordinary people with a low-threshold entry point. It's a bit exaggerated, but the direction is indeed correct. If this move succeeds, the adoption rate of Web3 will accelerate significantly.

I don't know, it feels like big platforms are just competing internally, and ordinary users still won't use it. --- This explanation sounds good, but the key is whether users will buy into it. I'm still a bit hesitant. --- Breaking through the circle for wider dissemination, it sounds good, but I just want to know when the experience will truly be smooth. --- Haha, "without perception," isn't that just secretly manipulating users? --- Solana's move this time is quite clever; leveraging X's traffic can indeed open up the market. --- I'm curious, can X's monthly active users really convert into on-chain users? The data will tell. --- Alright, another new marketing game. Let's wait and see the results.

Oh no, isn't this the same trick from 2018? Back then it was all about breaking barriers, popularization, and traffic, and look what happened... Retail investors are just retail investors. Wait, not perceiving the transition to on-chain? That sounds pretty suspicious. One misstep and you might get tricked into a contract to go all-in. Solana's move is indeed ruthless. X has traffic, Sol has an ecosystem. For experienced users like me, this is a signal — whether to get on or off the train is the question now. I flipped a car here back in 2017. Now, seeing this kind of cooperation, I reflexively break out in cold sweat. Those with experience know that feeling. Is the barrier for mainstream users to access Web3 lower? Why do I feel the cost of getting scammed is actually lower? This move, frankly, is just to make you unknowingly hand over your money while you're scrolling through screens. After all these years, I finally see through it.

Really? This move is a bit ruthless, quietly slipping Web3 in, and users don't even have time to react before it goes on the chain… --- It feels like X is gambling to see if they can directly pull ordinary people in… --- So essentially, it's just traffic monetization, and the Solana ecosystem can also expand along the way… --- No wonder there have been so many movements from X recently; it turns out they are laying such a big plan --- If this move really materializes, it’s fortunate for those who are still teaching newcomers what a wallet is… --- But it depends on whether users buy into it; forced integration can easily backfire --- Another "seamless on-chain experience for users" dream, sounds too good to be true
