Solana UX vs Ethereum L2 UX: Are They Really Different?
After the successful activation of EIP 4844, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have minimal differences when it comes to user experience. Ethereum (ETH) developer Eric Conner says the two networks now demonstrate similar transaction fee and operational speed metrics.
Both networks now have transaction fees of less than $0.01 in equivalent, instant transaction confirmation, and integrations with all mainstream on-chain wallets.
Conner reacted to the opinion of Qiao Wang, co-founder of Messari. The seasoned analyst shared a conversation with a former Ethereum (ETH) user who described his experience with modern ETH as “annoying” due to its slowness and crudeness.
Returning to Ethereum (ETH) from Solana (SOL) seemed to the speaker like returning to Bitcoin (BTC) from Ethereum (ETH), Wang admitted.
As Guru-Investingpreviously reported, Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade was successfully activated on March 13, 2024. Thanks to the newly introduced “blob” data concept, it reduced fees on Ethereum-based L2 to below $0.01.
Solana (SOL) as a counternarrative to Ethereum (ETH): the opinion of Justin Bons
At the same time, Ethereum (ETH) skeptics continue to voice their criticism despite the radical upgrade being implemented.
Analyst Justin Bons of the CyberCapital VC fund, who has repeatedly criticized the scaling tactics of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), stated that Solana (SOL), with its “sufficient scalability,” serves as a kind of counter-narrative to Ethereum ( ETH).
At the same time, he admitted that at this point Solana (SOL) is far from having the best experience, or the best technology, “or the best of everything.”
