What are the disadvantages of using Solana?

While Solana is known for its speed and low transaction fees, it does have some drawbacks. One of the biggest concerns is the relative centralization it enforces with the network’s validator requirements, thus making decentralization limited. Further, Solana has suffered outages and other stability concerns in the past, thus its reliability is an issue. Having a smaller developer ecosystem than Ethereum can limit its access to tools and community support. And lastly, great performance notwithstanding, its ecosystem is yet to mature fully, which essentially means it might lack the robust infrastructure available with more established blockchains.
