Solana vs. Polygon for NFT Minting

• Speed & Fees:
  • Solana: Faster (65,000 TPS) and cheaper (fractions of a cent).
  • Polygon: Slower (7,000 TPS) but still affordable (under $1).
• Ecosystem:
  • Solana: Smaller but growing (Magic Eden, SolSea).
  • Polygon: Larger, Ethereum-linked (OpenSea, Rarible).
• Developer Tools:
  • Solana: Advanced (Rust, C) but harder to learn.
  • Polygon: Ethereum-compatible (EVM, Solidity), easier for devs.
• Security:
  • Solana: Less decentralized, occasional outages.
  • Polygon: More reliable, inherits Ethereum’s security.

Choose Solana for speed, low costs, and large-scale minting.
Choose Polygon for Ethereum integration, security, and established marketplaces.
