Why is Solana development more popular in the AI era? Developer experience benchmarks with top-tier chains

【BitPush】Compared to the EVM ecosystem, Solana’s development environment is indeed quite interesting. Many people may not have noticed that with the support of AI, the advantages of Solana’s program model are being amplified.

Simply put, most operations on Solana—such as token creation, asset exchange, and transfers—don’t require developers to write contracts from scratch. What does this mean? Developers can directly reuse existing pipelines and modules on the client side, eliminating the need for traditional security audits, which greatly speeds up development efficiency. Especially when it comes to Token Hooks and DEX integration, you only need to describe your needs with simple prompts, and AI can handle the rest.

It’s worth noting that writing contracts on Solana with Rust has always been criticized for being high-threshold, error-prone, and having a steep learning curve. But the emergence of AI perfectly fills this gap. Now, AI can help developers quickly generate and optimize code, turning complex low-level abstractions into manageable instructions.

Industry insiders predict that this development convenience could give rise to several unicorns this year. We’re talking about startups valued from $1 billion to $10 billion landing within the Solana ecosystem. This is undoubtedly a positive signal for the overall activity and vitality of the entire chain ecosystem.
