Manta Co-founder: Polkadot is a "highly toxic" ecosystem, lacking true value for Web3.

Manta Network co-founder Victorji.eth publicly criticized the Polkadot ecosystem on Twitter, calling it a "highly toxic" ecosystem that lacks true value for Web3 and does not focus on users or adoption rates. As the founder of the project with the largest TVL and market cap/FDV in the former Polkadot ecosystem, he stated that the team has completely shifted to the Manta Pacific project, as the Polkadot ecosystem is essentially "dead."

Victorji.eth also accused the Polkadot team of discrimination against Asian developers, pointing out that projects from Europe and the United States receive far more funding than those from Asia. He encouraged developers to turn to more active ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin.
