What is Farcaster’s opinion on Solana vs Ethereum?

Sol is a great execution layer, makes zero sense as a settlement layer running on bare-metal nodes rented at datacenters

Excited for innovation the SVM will bring to Ethereum L2s like Eclipse next year.

So the argument is, because validation on Solana requires large amounts of compute, the entry requirements are too high for credible neutrality?

Seems well put^

My concern is that this is too nuanced a point for any end users to actually care, which is what drives network success at the end of the day

Agreed on the first part. The second part is pretty nebulous to me. As we’ve seen, many ETH validators are subject to OFAC

Beyond just the node requirement (although that's a big one)

Multi-client architecture

A culture of refining towards making the base layer as censorship-resistant as possible 

Solana is far behind eth on this, and actively laughs at some of these ideals
