On December 8th, Yuga Labs co-founder Garga.eth (Greg Solano) posted on X, stating that they had launched a token on Solana and that their co-founders Toly and Raj (Solana co-founders) would welcome you with open arms. This statement seems to have angered Jesse Pollak, the head of the Base protocol, who said that comparisons between Solana and L1 should be stopped and that unity within the Ethereum ecosystem will make it stronger.

Garga.eth clarified, "Don't misunderstand me, I love Ethereum and have helped many on-chain users enter the Ethereum ecosystem for years. ApeChain is also based on Ethereum, and I have great respect for the work that Base has done. I was just expressing dissatisfaction with a podcast host who criticized NFT projects and meme coins."
