The CEO of the UNISWAP Labs, Hayden Adams, estimated that Solana has a “better roadmap, a team and an approach” to directly develop decentralized finances (DEFI) on the monolithic layer 1.
In recent years, Ethereum has focused on the development of a modular approach centered on rollers. Much more activity is now occurring on layer 2 networks, and some criticisms have argued that they are parasite compared to layer 1.
Adams expressed skepticism as to the abandonment of years of work in this particular direction, arguing that Solana would be better suited to the race for layer 1.
“Do you want to throw this on the last straight because of the reason?” He estimated.
Adams added that he would go well with a scaling approach centered on L1. However, this would require “substantial compromise”.
“Ethereum is for everything”
This occurs after the co-founder without benches David Hoffman said that “Ethereum L1 was for Defi”.
In an article still to be published, Hoffman maintains that Ethereum should be “the obvious place for manufacturers, users and assets to reside”. He says that “no blockchain” will ever have the properties that Ethereum has, insisting that it is the only decentralized intelligent contract platform with “a perfect increase”.
He claims that so many possible economy should be on the L1. “L1 should serve everyone,” he added.
