Solana's development path indeed has its own unique style, and there's no denying that. However, many overlook a key fact: the Ethereum ecosystem is not limited to the Ethereum mainnet itself. It has long evolved into a network composed of dozens of chains—each optimized for different scenarios, operating independently yet collaborating with each other. This modular ecosystem design stands in stark contrast to Solana's single-chain high-speed approach.

The prosperity of EVM-compatible chains essentially reflects a core logic of blockchain development: no single chain can fully meet all needs. Arbitrum handles complex contracts, Optimism optimizes user experience, Polygon focuses on gaming and NFTs—each finds its niche in a specialized track. Meanwhile, Solana adheres to a strategy of extreme performance on a single chain, which, although having an absolute advantage in throughput, has relatively limited diversity in ecological applications and fault tolerance.

In the long run, both paths have their pros and cons. Ethereum bets on multi-chain collaboration to generate stronger network effects, while Solana bets on continuous technological iteration to break through single-chain bottlenecks. Ultimately, the market will validate which paradigm is more viable through adoption rates.
