Ethereum (ETH) developer Eric Conner, co-author of EIP 1559, one of Ethereum (ETH)’s game-changing updates, explains why it makes no sense to compare the second largest blockchain and Solana (SOL).
Solana UX vs. Ethereum L2 UX: Are They Really Different?
After the successful activation of EIP 4844, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) have extremely minimal differences in terms of user experience. Ethereum (ETH) developer Eric Conner says the two networks now demonstrate similar metrics in terms of transaction fees and operational speed.
I’m so tired of this filming. I’m going to start calling them all out.
Solana UX compared to Ethereum L2 UX has extremely minimal differences.
Commissions <$0.01, instant broadcasts, major wallet integrations

Both networks now have transaction fees of less than $0.01 in equivalent instant transaction confirmations and integrations with all major on-chain wallets.
Conner reacted to the opinion of Qiao Wang, co-founder of Messari. The veteran analyst shared a conversation with an old Ethereum (ETH) user who described his experience with modern ETH as “annoying” due to its slowness and crudeness.
The return to Ethereum (ETH) from Solana (SOL) seemed to the speaker like a return to Bitcoin (BTC) from Ethereum (ETH), Wang admitted.
As previously explained by U.Today, Ethereum’s Dencun update was successfully activated on March 13, 2024. Thanks to the recently introduced “blob” data concept, it reduced fees on Ethereum-based L2s to below $ 0.01.
Solana (SOL) as a counter-narrative to Ethereum (ETH): Justin Bons’ opinion
At the same time, Ethereum (ETH) skeptics continue to voice their criticism despite the radical upgrade adopted.
Analyst Justin Bons of the CyberCapital VC fund, who has repeatedly criticized the scaling tactics of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), said 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 stage Solana (SOL) is far from having the best experience, or the best technology, “or the best of anything.”
