BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes thinks it’s going to be “very, very tough” for different smart-contract platforms to surpass Ethereum (ETH).
Hayes says in a brand new interview with The Massive Whale that Ethereum presently leads the pack when it comes to progressive functions and variety of builders.
He argues that improvements begin on Ethereum after which “copycats” materialize on different chains.
“The Ethereum expertise and the folks constructing this stuff, they’re essentially the most progressive, after which all people else copies them. So till I see a brand new chain the place a brand new primitive is launched there first, and it hasn’t began on the Ethereum community, then I don’t assume they’re going to overhaul them.”
Hayes does acknowledge that “there’s numerous noise” relating to Solana (SOL).
“It’s executed extraordinarily effectively. They’ve actually good UI/UX. An important, engaged group. The entire memecoin factor has been top-of-the-line issues that’s ever occurred for Solana, however on the finish of the day, what’s it? It’s like one-fourth the market cap of ETH or one thing like that.
I feel, once more, on a probabilistic foundation, it’s going to be extraordinarily tough for them to assail ETH. Particularly [because] it’s not like ETH is standing nonetheless. Now we have now layer-2s, and the price of transactions has been pushed right down to that stage, we have now sooner transactions per second if that’s one thing that issues to you. So Ethereum is changing into aggressive once more and it already has these different benefits.”
Ethereum’s market cap is round $296 billion at time of writing, whereas Solana’s is round $68.1 billion.
