**Ethereum vs Solana: The battle for the top of blockchain, who will have the last laugh? **

BlockBeats news, on September 28, Ethereum community member Ryan Berckmans responded to Multicoin partner Kyle's speech during TOKEN2049 on the social platform. Kyle mentioned in his speech that Solana is expected to surpass Ethereum. However, Berckmans firmly stated that Solana will never surpass Ethereum. 🤔

### Solana's peak and challenge

Berckmans believes that Solana is currently at the peak of its life cycle, but the fastest L2s (Layer 2 solutions) in the future will be faster than Solana. This means that the speed and cost advantages that Solana has now will gradually shrink or even disappear. Everyone will clearly see that the L2 model is a genius move that not only scales the way the world actually works, but also provides excellent value accumulation for Ethereum.

### Exaggeration and fictional stories?

Berckmans further pointed out that Kyle's story about Solana's advantages and progress is either over-exaggerated or completely fictitious. He ignored any details about Solana's structural disadvantages, such as the fact that they sell the same 50,000 TPS (transactions per second) to each customer, when in fact today's TPS is more like 1.1k at most. This is undoubtedly a huge gap that may affect users' trust and use of Solana.

### Solana's Real Advantages

Nevertheless, Berckmans also admitted that Solana's real structural advantage lies in its use of centralization and vertical integration to accelerate growth. At least for now, Solana has shown a higher curiosity and aggressiveness than Ethereum at the application layer, especially in the field of decentralized infrastructure and consumer crypto.

### The Future of Blockchain Competition

So, how will the future of blockchain competition develop? Will Ethereum continue to maintain its dominance, or will Solana be able to catch up or even surpass it? All this is full of uncertainty. For investors and users, it is wise to maintain a neutral and open attitude and pay attention to market dynamics and technological progress.
