Polkadot's investment in tech innovation and performance optimization, like Polkadot 2.0, has the potential to boost DOT's price. It improves scalability and resource allocation, attracting more projects and users. Solana's efforts, such as the planned TPS - boosting system, also enhance its competitiveness. If these lead to increased adoption and usage, SOL's price could rise. However, market conditions and competition also play roles, so the exact impact on price appreciation is hard to predict.

Both Polkadot and Solana are focusing on technological advancements to attract more users and projects, potentially impacting the value of DOT and SOL. However, market factors and competition will also influence their prices in the long run.
