Solana is challenging Ethereum: Is the race for smart contract dominance changing?
Ethereum remains the "king" of smart contracts, but this throne is starting to shake as Solana expands its influence. With fast processing speeds, near-zero transaction fees, and high scalability, Solana is attracting new projects in several key areas:
🔹 Crypto assets (RWA): Ethereum leads, but Solana is making strong inroads thanks to lower costs – more suitable for trading bonds and tokenized stocks.
🔹 Decentralized infrastructure (DePIN): Solana enables real-time micropayments – something Ethereum has yet to achieve due to its fee structure.
🔹 AI + Blockchain: Solana is better suited for speed-sensitive AI agents, while Ethereum faces latency issues.
Although Ethereum has not yet been "overthrown," if $SOL continues to dominate fast-growing sectors, holding $ETH long-term may no longer be the obvious choice.
