He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

How do you see the relationship between Solana and Ethereum, like Apple and Android? Are other public chains considered as competitors to you?

I've never thought of solana as a settlement platform, I thought that settlement is a feature of any BFT system.  The goal for solana was always to globally synchronize information as fast as possible.  That also implies settlement, but thats just a side effect.

I think there is feature overlap, so that make it competitive.  But the designs are so far apart that it's really cool to see the r&d done by ethereum folks and try to apply those lessons towards a totally different goal.
