Public Blockchains vs Private Permissioned Chains: Why Build on Solana

Where a founder starts shapes what they can build, and in the blockchain sector that choice comes down to deploying on a private permissioned chain or building on a public layer 1 network.

A private chain looks appealing because it offers complete control. You design the rules, set the limits and decide who gets access. It also makes you responsible for every part of protocol design, building on untested ground, which is slow to maintain and expensive to run. What private permissioned chains have never reached is critical mass.

Solana processes tens of millions of transactions a day across an ecosystem of developers, traders and institutions. The high-performance infrastructure is already in place, the users and developers are already there, and shared security cuts the operational overhead so teams can spend their time on growth instead.
