If you choose the right direction and track, you will get a hundredfold benefit!
I personally feel that the development direction of the blockchain in the next 10 years will be decided in 2024. Technically, we will no longer cross the river by feeling the stones. It is necessary to concentrate on breakthroughs, that is, to achieve the first tens of millions of DAPP applications.
The direction of the decisive battle at present is roughly:
1. [L1 high-performance public chain] ETH, SOL, Sui, Aptos.. Alt L1, solve the efficiency problem from the lowest level first. (Metaphor: CPU single-core efficiency is maxed out)
2. [Parallel Solution] Parallel EVM solves efficiency problems from the perspective of consensus and software efficiency. (Metaphor: CPU multi-core efficiency is maxed out)
3. [Modular blockchain] TIA, MANTA, Cosmos.. Structured blockchain solves efficiency problems from a structural perspective. (Metaphor: server cluster)
4. [L2, L3, profile] ARB, OP,... Improve efficiency and software optimization by solving part of the consensus mechanism (metaphor: load balancing)
