I am not sure about AIdoge but Solana has regained its popularity and its ecosystem is also growing very fast. It looks like it got support from big peoples that is actively investing money for the development of the ecosystem and actively doing campaign to attract new investors. Those airdrop campaigns in solana's ecosystem were one of the initiatives that took the price of solana to a new high after a long bear season. I am not sure if it can keep up with the ETH network or not but the initiative was well organized.
That's what they want to do with Solana, to keep up with Ethereum. But will they be able to do that soon? Well, with what they're doing right now, they're quickly gaining the attention in the market because it is one of the big winners that we have prior to the bull run that we're going to see. Needless to say, they're doing their best and does a lot of projects and these projects are probably also supported by Solana itself and that's why many of them gains popularity and capitals that are millions especially these meme coins that are built on it.
