Odaily Planet Daily News Regarding Solana co-founder Anatoly's statement that 'there are only about 6 important (underlying) smart contracts', Base protocol head Jesse Pollak stated: 'In my view, one of the biggest philosophical differences between Solana + SVM and Ethereum + EVM is our perspective on what can and will be built on-chain using smart contracts. In the Solana realm, the current view is that 'only about 6 contracts are worth writing'. Therefore, these contracts are fixed and reused, with less focus on contract validation, open source, scalability, and expansion. Our mission is to build a decentralized Nasdaq, focusing on the functionalities of capital markets. In the EVM realm, the current mindset is that we are merely scratching the surface of the world computer, and there are about infinite contracts to build. This leads to everything being open source, validated, and capable of being scaled, forked, and expanded after being built. Our mission is to establish a global economy that includes every component of the economy (including both capital markets and so on). It will be interesting to observe how these philosophies evolve in the coming years. Both have a wealth of opportunities.' Earlier today, in response to the views raised by Ethereum community members that 'L2 is the most sustainable block sale business', Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko commented: 'It seems logical, but it is also incorrect. Multiple L2s are meaningless. If a single L2 can handle parallel execution, then it can exhaust all blobspace and run every use case. More importantly, there are not infinitely useful smart contracts, let alone execution environments. There are only about 6 (or so) important (underlying) smart contracts. The optionality for developers is infinite, which is not necessary at all. In fact, any developer optionality that increases business risk is negative, such as the ERC20 interface. Every additional sorter, L2 multisig, governance system, VM customization, etc., increases business risk?' He then added in the comments section: 'Today, what people use and do across all chains are tokens, NFTs, and AMMs. Then possibly joint curves/lending/oracles/CLOBs/perps. I have yet to see this change become a decisive driver of PMF.'
