sol.new vs the rest
Full Solana toolkit vs specialized meme launchpads — what each is best at.
TL;DR
Launchpads excel at one flow: spin up a meme and trade it. sol.new covers the whole day: passkey wallet, tokens, NFTs, pay, gift, stake, earn, liquid stake, fair draws, and portfolio lookup by address or name.
