According to Odaily, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake has expressed that Solana's golden era is nearing its end and will not pose a threat to Ethereum. Despite Solana's strong growth momentum, Drake emphasized Ethereum's focus on long-term gains. He stated, "Solana is currently at its peak, but I believe this marks the end of Solana's golden era. The fundamental architectural differences mean that Solana's competitive advantages in latency and throughput will eventually disappear, making it less scalable."
Currently, Ethereum developers heavily rely on Layer 2 solutions to offer faster and more cost-effective transactions. Drake noted, "I believe Layer 1 is competing with Bitcoin, while Layer 2 is competing with Solana. Therefore, competing with Solana is not even within the scope of Layer 1's responsibilities. We should focus on competition in terms of security and health. Thus, if Solana faces any competition, it needs to come from applications and Layer 2."
