# @addicteddotfun: $3.5M revenue in 48h on Solana after 4 years on Ethereum/Base

## Summary

Addicted, a consumer app team, says it moved from Ethereum and Base to Solana six months ago after four years of building on those chains without traction. The team reports that after launching Addicted on Solana it earned $3.5M in revenue in 48 hours, which it says surpassed Pump.fun's 24-hour revenue. It attributes its success to what it describes as Solana's open, builder-first culture, citing responsive support, introductions to other teams, and help reaching the public. The team also says it received no support on Base, where it launched six-plus products, and it names several Solana consumer apps as evidence of the ecosystem's strength.

we spent 4 years building on ethereum and base. nothing took off.

6 months ago, we moved to @solana 

launched addicted → $3.5M in revenue in 48h, flipping pumpfun’s 24h rev.

if you’re still building on base or any eth L2, you’re wasting your potential.

solana isn’t just faster and more scalable. it’s the best place for consumer apps to find pmf.

here’s why:

1

base and ethereum feel like closed dinner parties.

we launched 6+ products on base. got zero support. meanwhile, base kept shilling zora, farcaster, and their “inner circle.” they even launched their own memecoin ($2.5M mc rn lol)

if you’re not part of their “inner circle” or building what they like, you just get ignored.

solana is the opposite.

they treat builders as the core. they don’t judge what you’re building. they connect you with other teams and help push your product to the public.

we came to solana with zero connections, zero track record, and yet the foundation gave us so much support and helped our product win.

2

a chain’s attitude sets the vibe for its entire ecosystem.

these "inner circle" vibes are deeply built in base and eth ecosystem. you end up spending more time trying to make cool frens than actually building.

after 6 months building on solana, we were shocked by how open and supportive solana builders are. they reply fast, offer real help, and push each other forward. @MeteoraAG is the perfect example.

solana is open and builder-first. the whole ecosystem follows that.

base and ethereum aren’t.

that's what ppl call “culture”

3

on base and ethereum, there’s a massive disconnect between users and builders.

most builders treat speculation like a disease and try to build “serious” products for imaginary users.

even worse, the direction of these ecosystems is decided top-down. base and ethereum pick what’s “cool” instead of letting trends form naturally from users and communities.

solana doesn’t do that. they let builders experiment and help figure it out.

that’s why biggest consumer apps are all on solana:

pumpfun, axiom, moonshot, helium, believe, jupiter, collector crypt, phygitals, vector, bags...

and its only getting started.

first up -  season 2 of addicted

the biggest survival game in crypto history.

and we'll keep dropping new viral games, all on solana.

stay tuned on @pndmdotorg  

just build on solana.
