According to Foresight News, Solana co-founder Toly has stated that virtual machines (VMs) are not significant until they begin to slow down system performance. He noted that there are approximately six main programs in crypto projects: tokens, NFTs, oracles, AMMs (automated market makers), bonding curves, and order books (CLOB). Due to the complexity of these programs, interfaces may have a negative impact.#Solana #virtualmachines #systemperformance #cryptoprojects #tokens #NFTs #oracles #AMMs #bondingcurves #orderbooks #Toly
🚀 Solana Co-Founder Criticizes Ethereum Community's L2 Views

According to Odaily, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has expressed his disagreement with the Ethereum community's perspective that Layer 2 (L2) solutions are the most sustainable approach for blockchain scalability. Yakovenko argued that while the logic might seem sound, it is fundamentally flawed. He stated that having multiple L2 solutions is unnecessary, as a single L2 capable of parallel execution could utilize all available blobspace and handle every use case.
Yakovenko emphasized that there are not unlimited useful smart contracts or execution environments. He noted that there are only about six significant underlying smart contracts. He also pointed out that the optionality for developers is infinite, which he believes is unnecessary. In fact, he argued that any developer optionality that increases business risk is negative, citing the ERC20 interface as an example. He questioned whether additional components like extra sequencers, L2 multisigs, governance systems, and VM customizations add to business risk.
In a follow-up comment, Yakovenko added that across all blockchains, the primary activities people engage in today involve tokens, NFTs, and automated market makers (AMMs). He mentioned that other activities might include bonding curves, lending, oracles, central limit order books (CLOBs), and perpetuals. However, he has not observed these activities becoming decisive drivers for product-market fit.#Solana #Ethereum #Layer2 #Blockchain #AnatolyYakovenko #SmartContracts #Scalability #NFTs #AMMs #Governance #SOL #ETH
🚀 Solana And Ethereum: Diverging Philosophies On Smart Contracts

According to Odaily, Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, commented on Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko's statement about the limited number of essential smart contracts. Pollak highlighted a philosophical difference between Solana and Ethereum regarding the use of smart contracts. He noted that in the Solana ecosystem, there is a belief that only about six contracts are worth writing, leading to their reuse and less focus on contract verification, open-source development, and expansion. Solana aims to create a decentralized Nasdaq with a focus on capital markets.
In contrast, the Ethereum ecosystem views the potential of smart contracts as vast, with an emphasis on open-source, verified, and scalable contracts. Ethereum's mission is to build a global economy encompassing all its components, including capital markets. Pollak expressed interest in observing how these philosophies will evolve in the coming years, acknowledging opportunities in both approaches.
Earlier, Yakovenko responded to Ethereum community members who suggested that Layer 2 (L2) solutions are the most sustainable business model for block sales. He argued that multiple L2s are unnecessary if a single L2 can handle parallel execution and utilize all available blobspace for various use cases. Yakovenko emphasized that there are not infinitely useful smart contracts or execution environments, asserting that only about six essential smart contracts exist. He criticized the notion of unlimited developer options, stating that it increases business risk, citing examples like the ERC20 interface and additional governance systems.
Yakovenko further elaborated in the comments, stating that across all blockchains, the primary uses today are tokens, NFTs, and automated market makers (AMMs), followed by bonding curves, lending, oracles, central limit order books (CLOBs), and perpetuals. He noted that these factors have not yet become decisive drivers for product-market fit.#Solana #Ethereum #SmartContracts #Decentralization #CapitalMarkets #OpenSource #Blockchain #Layer2 #NFTs #AMMs #BusinessModel #ProductMarketFit #SOL #ETH
