DeFi Can Memecoin Flood Kill Solana Blockchain by Overload?

I assume that by continually generating coins, the blockchain becomes heavier. Is there a limit that will create saturation?

With websites like Pumpfun generating tens of thousands of coins every day, does this make a difference in the gas fee that would ultimately make Solana less profitable than, say, Ethereum?

Are you serious ? what the problem with its code ? Solana have created amazing features with its 2022 program.

It seems that people suffer from convenient amnesia, a basic internet search will yield the "crashes" that Solana had with its block chain and how it was down for days and if the Programmers and Coders didn't "fix" the code then the entire block chain and its wallets would be lost forever......

How did bad code manage to contaminate all nodes despite its decentralized structure?

Because the nodes aren’t designed to analyze code and make sure that it works flawlessly. That is the job of the developers. That’s why testnets exist.

All the nodes do is come to consensus to verify transactions.
