PANews reported on November 10 that in a recent interview, Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko talked about the unique position of this ecosystem in the blockchain field. "In my opinion, scalability, infrastructure focus, and transaction efficiency are Solana's three major advantages." Of course, he is also aware of the challenges Solana faces in a world where blockchain technology continues to develop and platforms further develop.
Anatoly Yakovenko compared Solana to Ethereum and various L2 solutions, highlighting the trade-offs between L1 and L2. L2 solutions typically use centralized sorters for low-latency transaction ordering. However, Yakovenko noted that these can cause the same congestion issues as L1 chains. While L2s are often seen as a short-term solution to congestion issues, they face scaling bottlenecks when multiple applications or markets use them.
Yakovenko stressed that Solana's advantage lies in execution. While Ethereum is scaling through L2, Solana's development remains focused on making its L1 perfect. He acknowledged that one day, blockchains will offer similar functionality to Solana and provide faster iterations, but for now, the pace of Solana's improvements puts it far ahead of its competitors. For Anatoly Yakovenko, the core of Solana's potential lies in perfecting its infrastructure to support fairer and more open transaction processing and achieve a truly decentralized future. This, he said, will make Solana one of the leading blockchains in the coming years.
