Ethereum Community Member Refutes Solana's Supremacy Claims

According to BlockBeats, on September 28, Ethereum community member Ryan Berckmans responded on social media to Multicoin partner Kyle's presentation at TOKEN2049 titled 'Why Solana Will Surpass Ethereum.' Berckmans asserted that Solana will never surpass Ethereum, stating that Solana is currently at its peak in this cycle. Berckmans argued that the fastest Layer 2 solutions (L2s) will eventually outpace Solana. He emphasized that Solana's speed and cost advantages will diminish to zero. He believes that everyone will clearly see that the L2 model is a brilliant innovation, expanding in a way that aligns with the real-world operations while providing excellent value accumulation for Ethereum (ETH). Berckmans also criticized Kyle's narrative about Solana's advantages and progress, suggesting that it is either greatly exaggerated or entirely fictional. He pointed out that Kyle ignored any details about Solana's structural disadvantages, such as offering the same 50,000 transactions per second (TPS) to every customer, which in reality is closer to a maximum of 1,100 TPS today. In Berckmans' view, Solana's true structural advantage lies in leveraging centralization and vertical integration to accelerate growth. He acknowledged that, at least for now, Solana exhibits more curiosity and aggressiveness at the application layer compared to Ethereum, particularly in areas like decentralized infrastructure and consumer crypto.
