Ethereum

I'm trying to sum up the Solana vs Ethereum discussion. Can someone help?

Solana:
- Uses a consensus mechanism (PoH) that allows more throughput but requires better computers which is a centralising force (computers will improve tho)
- No need for bridging (the L1 already scales)

researching evolution & collective intelligence

I think if the UX problem can improve then a Solana-like L2 on eth would have the best of both worlds? High-throughput and cheap nodes.

What am I missing? Can the UX problem be fixed?

Ethereum:
- Cheaper to set up a node (more decentralised)
- Can scale with L2s but requires bridging which is a bad UX (can this be fixed though?)

Ethereum's goal is to be the cheapest L1 to set up nodes and the easiest to build L2. This makes it technology agnostic when it comes to scaling.

Consensus mechanism is unrelated to throughput. State growth and VM performance are bottlenecks for throughout. Consensus effectively just has to agree on a state root (a hash).

IMO PoH is not a real thing, Solana consensus is just DPoS with a PoW component (if I understand). But doesn't matter.

Neither fish nor biscuit. I organise Ethereum Singapore and help at clrfund.  I dont think I have to be who I am on Twitter here and I love it

Fundamental reasons for each blockchain to win various use cases.

The reasons might be technical, strategic or cultural.

Are you trying to compare the technical tradeoffs or..?
