Golden finance reports that Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake states that Solana's golden age is coming to an end and will not pose a threat to Ethereum. Despite Solana's strong growth momentum, Drake mentions that Ethereum focuses on long-term gains. He said: "Solana is currently at its peak, but I believe this will be the end of Solana's golden age, as all of Solana's competitive advantages in terms of latency and throughput will disappear, because the fundamental architectural differences make it unscalable." Currently, Ethereum developers heavily rely on Layer 2 to provide faster and cheaper transactions. Drake stated: "I think Layer 1 is competing with Bitcoin, while Layer 2 is competing with Solana. Therefore, competing with Solana does not even fall within the responsibilities of Layer 1; we should compete on security and health. So if Solana has any competition, it needs to come from applications and Layer 2."
