Ethereum’s advantages over Solana lie in being more decentralized, more neutral, and more secure, said Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum. (Foreword: Scholars shout that “Nobel Prize in Economics” should be nominated for Vitalik: Ethereum has made extraordinary contributions to monetary economics) (Background Supplement: Vitalik Full Text: From Predictive Markets to “Information Finance”) Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently In an interview with Foresight News, responding to the idea that “Solana is getting stronger and many believe it has become Ethereum’s most important competitor,” Vitalik said that Ethereum actually has to go further than Solana Centralization: First, nodes running Solana are much more difficult than nodes running Ethereum Second, Solana’s PoS consensus mechanism is more centralized Third, more things about the Solana community are directly supported by the Solana Foundation of. Vitalik: Ethereum is not the highest performance L1 For his point of view, Vitalik first explained that Solana is more application-oriented: they are very application-oriented and like to talk about DePIN, the DePIN they do is working with some big companies, selling some hardware, and communications Companies collaborate to make a new Internet. These applications all have a characteristic, they have a much lower demand for decentralization than Ethereum, and I think some of the market goals they pursue are really different from Ethereum. Vitalik continued that Ethereum is not the highest-performing L1 on the market either: If you want the highest-performing L1 on the market, Ethereum can never meet your requirements. You only have two options, the first is to go to other high-performance blockchains, and the second is to opt for Ethereum L2, including Arbitrum, Base and others. However, Vitalik stresses that Ethereum will long be a decentralized, neutral and secure blockchain: So what does Ethereum have that other faster blockchains can’t? I assure you that it will be decentralized, neutral and very secure blockchain for the long term. Ethereum L1, not the best place for high-performance applications… Ethereum’s architecture is just like that, decentralized, neutral and secure, and Ethereum should be the only one comparable to Bitcoin. Ethereum and Solana currency price comparison Although Vitalik’s statement does make sense, whether it can be reflected in the currency price is another matter. Since this bull market, ETH has indeed performed worse than SOL. According to CoinGecko data, with the arrival of the bull market, the price of Ethereum has increased by only 55.6% in the past year and 19% in the past month. Ethereum Trends As for SOL, after returning from the bear market, the currency price has increased by 240% in the past year, and the increase in the past month has reached 37.5%. The current currency price has exceeded US$200. Analyzing the reasons for the trend of SOL, Ethereum’s ecological development has indeed slowed down in this bull market. Coupled with the continuous shipments of L2 Vampires, Giant Whales and the Ethereum Foundation, investors’ confidence in ETH will inevitably be affected; on the other hand, Solana, in In this bull market, the craze of meme coins, coupled with the ecological Saga mobile phone, DePIN, token issuance platform Pump.fun, etc., have brought multiple wealth creation effects to investors, and the currency price has naturally been encouraged to rise.
