Solana co-founder cites biggest threat to Ether

 

Solana (SOL), one of the biggest gainers of 2023, seems like losing its steam in the early trading days of 2024. However, Solana’s Co-founders came ahead to address a crucial question, Will Solana ever require Layer 2 solutions? He also suggested what could be a threat to Ethereum and SOL in the process ahead.

Solana to focus on Layer 2 now?

Anatoly Yakovenko, the Co-Founder of Solana Labs in post acknowledged that developers could create Layer 2s on Solana. He suggested the blockchain’s primary objective is to synchronize a global atomic state machine at speeds dictated by the laws of physics.

As per Yakovenko’s view, any Layer 2, side chain, or zero-knowledge proof validation may seem innovative but they function as external execution environments that lack atomic composition with the broader Layer 1 state. 

He highlighted Solana’s dedication to scaling Layer 1 directly, aiming to enhance the single virtual machine instance with potential hardware upgrades. The team is also focusing on eliminating the need for Layer 2 solutions.

Nakamotolisk, a crypto analyst, observed that Solana’s pursuit of a global atomic state machine might indicate a departure from decentralization. Drawing a parallel with traditional finance (tradfi) high-frequency trading firms, Nakamotolisk highlighted that entities synchronizing information at the speed of physics might raise concerns about centralization. 

This comparison raises questions about potential government censorship challenges faced by highly centralized high-frequency trading exchanges.

SOL co-founder suggests this

Meanwhile, Ethereum faces criticisms for its slow progress in implementing Layer 2 solutions. It is countering challenges like the absence of multisigs and a less-than-optimal user experience. Solana’s Co-Founder suggested that if his vision holds true, Ethereum’s biggest threat lies in the concentration of value in execution hotspots.

However, an X user offered a balanced perspective. He suggested the truth might lie somewhere in between. The user expressed excitement about exploring different degrees of “atomic composability” and anticipated advancements in the atomic composability of rollups sharing the same base layer.

As the crypto community debates Solana’s goals and Ethereum’s challenges with Layer 2 implementation SOL has recorded major fluctuations. After a rapid rise in late 2023, reaching a local top of $126, SOL has since seen varying price actions.

Solana is trading at an average price of $102.27, at the price. Meanwhile, its 24 hour trading volume is down by 40% to stand at $3.4 billion.
