For the outsider who is not well-acquainted with the crypto sector, it may not be obvious — given how much marketing hype there is about every blockchain — but Ethereum has far and away the most advanced technology in crypto, and any project outside of Ethereum is at best a long-shot fueled by VC ambitions.
Let's go through tangible metrics:
Ethereum mainnet supports 21.3 TPS, and blob-enabled rollups now push that to 125+ TPS — all while preserving Ethereum’s base-layer security and verifiability. No other protocol scales with this level of trustlessness. Competing chains boost TPS by sacrificing verifiability — offloading consensus or requiring privileged hardware (see chart below).
The idea that high-TPS chains have "better tech" for parallel execution is also outdated. MegaETH — a high-performance Ethereum scalability solution — brings true parallelism and high throughput to the EVM, secured by ETH via EigenLayer and EigenDA. On execution, MegaETH now outpaces all so-called high-scalability virtual machines (see below). On data availability, EigenDA already exceeds the capacity of every competing DA solution.
When it comes to DeFi security and tooling, the EVM has always been unmatched — as Aave founder Stani Kulechov points out in an interview with Laura Shin:

And on client software, Ethereum leads by a wide margin. No other chain comes close to its level of client diversity — a key factor in decentralization and network resilience.
At this point, the EVM and Ethereum stack offer:
• The most secure virtual machine with the strongest developer tooling
• The most decentralized and verifiable network architecture
• The most scalable modular tech stack — across execution, settlement, and data availability — without compromising decentralization
Despite cutting corners everywhere, other chains cannot come close to Ethereum on any metric.
