# Solana + Base: The chains of choice

As the adult entertainment industry embraces cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, Solana has emerged as a leading platform for creators and entrepreneurs looking to launch their own tokens and dApps. With its high-speed transactions, low fees, and growing ecosystem of applications, Solana offers a range of features that make it particularly attractive for adult content creators.

One of the key advantages of Solana is its speed and scalability. With the ability to process up to 65,000 transactions per second, Solana is well-suited for handling the high volume of micro-transactions that are common in the adult entertainment industry. Whether it's tipping performers, purchasing content, or subscribing to premium services, Solana's fast and efficient network ensures that transactions are processed quickly and seamlessly. This is crucial for creators who rely on a steady stream of small payments from their fans and customers.

Another significant benefit of Solana is its low transaction costs. While other blockchains like Ethereum have struggled with high gas fees, Solana's design allows it to maintain very low transaction fees, often just a fraction of a cent. This is particularly important for the dreamdates platform, which will often deal with frequent, low-value transactions. With Solana, creators can keep more of their earnings, rather than seeing a significant portion eaten up by fees.

In addition to its speed, Solana also supports smart contract functionality, allowing for the creation of complex, self-executing agreements. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for dreamdates, notably automated payment structures and royalty distributions associated to provable owners of the models.&#x20;

Solana's community demographics align well with the target audience for dreamdates. With a user base that skews young, male, and risk-tolerant, Solana provides a receptive and engaged initial audience for adult-oriented tokens and dApps.\
\
The route for mainstream, B2C adoption of dreamdates is well-suited to Solana. Over the last 12 months, as the crypto-market has rallied, retail attention has been drawn to the Solana as opposed to Ethereum, this is likely owing largely to the crippling gas fees. Given the ultimate audience for dreamdates is 'retail', Solana made sense as the native chain for the platform.\
\
Further to the preference of Solana; Base is also emerging as a very consumer-friendly blockchain as Coinbase plans to help onboard their 100m CEX users to their L2, Base. Whilst being different to Solana in that it uses EVM, as well as being an L2 to Ethereum, it is very simialr in its low transaction cost and high throughput speed.\

We believe our core target market will engage with both Base and Solana, hence deciding to provide cross-chain liquidity pools.
