In 2018 there was EOS which almost became a superior competitor to Ethereum but sadly died slowly.
Even though I still remember that EOS is really a coin that has full support from the community, but when you create a wallet you have to pay with BTC, ETH and USDT.
Just like with Solana, when we create a Solana wallet or Mint token from Solana's wallet, we have to pay a few dollars and this becomes a problem for us investors when Mint new coins in Solana's wallet.
