PANews reported on November 10 that in a recent interview, Solana's founder Anatoly Yakovenko discussed the unique position of this ecosystem in the blockchain space. 'In my view, scalability, infrastructure focus, and transaction efficiency are the three major advantages of Solana.' Of course, he is also aware of the challenges Solana faces in a world where blockchain technology is constantly evolving and platforms are further developing.
Anatoly Yakovenko compared Solana to Ethereum and various L2 solutions, highlighting the trade-offs between L1 and L2. L2 solutions typically use centralized sorters for low-latency transaction sorting. However, Yakovenko pointed out that these could lead to congestion issues similar to those faced by L1 chains. While L2 is often seen as a short-term solution to congestion problems, they encounter scaling bottlenecks when multiple applications or markets utilize them.
Yakovenko emphasized that Solana's advantage lies in its execution capability. While Ethereum is scaling through L2, Solana's development continues to focus on perfecting its L1. He acknowledged that one day, blockchains will offer functionalities similar to Solana and provide faster iterations, but for now, Solana's pace of improvement keeps it far ahead of its competitors. For Anatoly Yakovenko, the core of Solana's potential lies in refining its infrastructure to support fairer and more open transaction processing, achieving a truly decentralized future. He stated that this would position Solana as one of the leading blockchains in the coming years.
