Debate: Solana Is More Future-Proof Than Ethereum
summary
One side argues Ethereum wins on 9,000 monthly active developers (plus an estimated 20–30k closed‑source teams), long survival since 2015, $50B TVL and $150B in stablecoins, and established standards like ERC‑20/721/1155 that anchor custodians and institutions. The other side claims Solana delivers superior consumer throughput with 5 million daily active wallets, Rust tooling (3.5M Rust devs), Visa/Helium integrations, and a new validator client called Fire Dancer, while acknowledging Solana’s past outages and ongoing MEV/toxic‑ME challenges.
