Will Solana flip Ethereum?

[adirk1]

<div class="bbWrapper">As you all know Solana helps with providing smart contracts like Ether, but it&#039;s doing faster (x10000) and with almost no gas fee like the Ether which is a gas killer these days. But still Sol is not that close to Ether in its market cap, some say Sol wll flip Ether, some say it won&#039;t and some don&#039;t know, and some say Ether will kill Sol when the 2.0 version of it will come out?<br /> <br /> What do you think and why do you think that way? Please provide explanations to your answer, I&#039;m still new to this world and looking to know the coin battles better.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Solana and Ether are both CronyCoins so it&#039;s no bother to me but I seriously doubt something with the network effects of Ether, the most popular altcoin, will be &quot;flippened&quot; by Solana, which comes no closer to living up to the promises of ETH</div>

 

[Vasili27]

<div class="bbWrapper">In time I think SOL will flip ETH, off of the basis that SOLs TPS is 65,000 to Eths 30 as well as SOL not having gas fees which is a really big plus because ETH is a gas guzzler. not to say SOL is problem free, they have had there network down like 3 times I believe which is a little concerning. Personally I think MATIC network is the best out of both. mainly because since most Dapps are in EVM. MATIC allows all of these to be transferred right over without having developers changing anything. It also has a very high TPS and allows blockchains to connect with each other and has very very cheap gas fees.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Someone mentioned in the other mega-crypto thread that SOL has few nodes and suffers from more centralization V decentralization. Just repeating what was said, I&#039;m no expert so don&#039;t ask me to clarify further, lol.</div>

Solana focused only on TPS but it has only 1000 nodes which makes it more centrelized and less secured, it&#039;s really a mess with these two. <br /> <br /> Personally, I have more money on Ether than on Sol and but I still hope both will rise.<br /> <br /> I also invested in MATIC, but MATIC cannot survive without ETH so I believe if ETH drops MATIC will drop too.</div>

Also your right MATIC does need ETH to survive I have both SOL and MATIC. I dont own any ETH currently but holding it will certainly only do you good.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">do you think SOL will become the main network used for the NFT world? or is this something 2.0 is going to do? ive been hearing a lot of different things saying that eventually ETH will not be used as much for NFT once they find a better network to run on with will lower gas.</div>

Not saying Solana will go away after 2.0 is implemented but I don&#039;t think it will be as good as 2.0</div>

Part of it comes from first mover advantage. It takes years for good projects to get developed.<br /> <br /> The other part of it comes from economies of scale. Eth network has attracted the early riches and serious people, whereas binance network unfortunately has the reputation of attracting scammers.<br /> <br /> This is because the barrier of entry is low for both developers and investors. In the past they talked about migrating away from eth to binance to lower fee. Now it become a clear no not to hurt the project branding.</div>

You could do it with matic/polygon and just switch it to a different network. if people find a better solution to ETH network issues I think they will take it for time being which is why sol, ada and matic are getting bigger.</div>

[Kevin88660]

<div class="bbWrapper">The key thing is if solona can avoid the mistake of binance network which we can only tell from hindsight now.<br /> <br /> Binance network’s cheap fee and low barrier of entry has attracted scammers pretending to be developers, and opportunistic speculator who thinks they can run before the scammers rug pull. This leaves the serious investors being hurt. And therefore serious developers get hurt as well due to reputation issue. <br /> <br /> As a result you don’t see old successful projects eager to migrate to binance network or other cheaper network. <br /> <br /> Why do you pay to live in a rich neighbourhood when cost of living is high? You do not want to get robbed or scammed at night. This probably explains the etheurem network premium currently.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ethereum is for people who like Apple products. Solana is for people who like Android products. This is probably the best way to describe the difference between the 2 from a psychological viewpoint.<br /> <br /> If you look at the NFT market, the best returns are from Ethereum based NFT projects. NFTs are the best form of utility right now for crypto, and the market prefers Ethereum-based projects over Solana-based projects.</div>

Ethereum is the settlement layer of crypto - layer 1. Layer 2 solutions are already here (ZkSync, Optimism, Arbitrum etc). These L2s have the same (or lower) fees than Solana and any of the other L1s. <br /> <br /> Blockchain will be a multi-layered protocol. Which will start out with a settlement layer and an execution layer. The settlement layer will need to be the most secure and backed network. The execution layer can be any of the roll-up solutions already out there (Zksync etc) or even the &quot;competitor&quot; L1s that are out there now e.g. polygon, sol.<br /> <br /> Calling the Ethereum network outdated is like saying the TCP/IP protocol is obsolete.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">There is also no such thing as &quot;Ethereum 2.0&quot;.<br /> <br /> Layer 2 protocols are already live. These will settle their txs on Ethereum. Check here for TVL + volume: <a href="https://l2beat.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">L2BEAT – The state of the layer two ecosystem</a><br /> <br /> Fees on Layer 2 protocols range anywhere between $0.24 and $2. But these fees will decline significantly once volume starts picking up.

<div class="bbWrapper">Ethereum is currently the only blockchain that solves the blockchain trilemma.<br /> <br /> Scalability, Decentralization and Security.<br /> <br /> Solana is very centralized. Approx. 80% of circulating supply is owned by insiders. Running a validator requires some hardcore hardware. And it is run by the Solana Foundation.</div>
