According to TechFlow, on November 15, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin gave an exclusive interview to Foresight News in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and expressed his views on the competitive relationship between Solana and Ethereum. He pointed out that Solana is more centralized than Ethereum in many aspects: nodes are more difficult to run, the PoS mechanism is more centralized, and more projects directly rely on the support of the Solana Foundation.
Vitalik emphasized that there are essential differences in the market positioning of Ethereum and Solana. Solana focuses more on cooperating with large enterprises to develop DePIN projects, and such applications have relatively low requirements for decentralization. Ethereum, on the other hand, focuses on building a decentralized, neutral and secure base layer, and its degree of decentralization is even higher than that of Bitcoin.
Regarding performance issues, Vitalik said, “If you want a 100 TPS blockchain, Ethereum’s L1 will never meet your requirements. You have only two options. The first is to go to other high-performance blockchains. The second is based on Ethereum L2, including Arbitrum, Base, MegaETH, etc. "He also pointed out that Ethereum has made significant progress in client diversity and resistance to censorship. Currently, no single client accounts for more than 52%, and it is suspicious. The blocking rate of transactions has been reduced from 80% to 20-50%.
