Ethereum outsmarted everyone
most chains compromised decentralization for performance.
Ethereum stayed maximally decentralized
& will now leapfrog them with zkEVMs.
it’ll match their performance without giving up its values
& never lost its dominance.
stick with the winner
Solana validator count is collapsing toward zero
5k → 800 in one year
running a validator keeps getting harder
as hardware requirements keep rising
“Solana is decentralized”
Lighter is building LighterEVM
but it has the same flaw as HyperEVM.
it’s much slower than the exchange core.
builders are stuck on a slow EVM, while the exchange runs on the fast core.
RISE integrated an orderbook directly into its ultrafast EVM.
so both builders and @risextrade stay on the fast chain
with full DeFi synchronous composability, which other solutions lose.
