Wow. When i post here I get actual conversation compared to twitter where all i get is dunking and shilling. Let me try a harder one...

Is Solana overvalued relative to L2s & chains like Tron that have much more usage?

I’m not sure about Solana, but one thing I’m thinking recently is that blockchain scaling trilemma is now IMO: decentralization, security and fragmentation. Monolithic chains of course have less fragmentation of all solutions.

The question if it’s possible to scale monolithic chain without losing decentralization. I think local fee markets are very cool idea. Sharding with shared state basically. So if it works, I think it’s just better in every way.

But also, it can may be too complicated to implement, or L2 just win because they cheaper to run and can do the same. Don’t think it explains the price, but I do think it’s at least interesting compared to other chains that just do naive sharding or limit validators to 29 nodes.
