Ethereum ($ETH ) and Solana ($SOL ) are two giants among blockchain platforms. One is a veteran of smart contracts, the other is a newcomer with insane speed. Both are competing for leadership in Web3, DeFi, NFT, and institutional attention.
Technologies
Ethereum operates on Proof of Stake, has a strong ecosystem, but the network is often overloaded and fees remain high.
Solana uses Proof of History + PoS, allowing it to process up to 65,000 transactions/second, with negligible fees.
2. Ecosystem
Ethereum is the "Google" of crypto: the largest community, hundreds of thousands of projects, institutional support.
Solana is the "TikTok generation of Web3": fast, easy, with strong meme coins (BONK, WEN) and a booming NFT scene.
3. Prices and potential
ETH is trading within the range of 3300–3500. If an ETF for ETH appears, it could easily break $4000.
SOL is holding around $140–$150 on average. Breaking $150 opens the way to $180+. On a correction to $120 — a good entry point.
📌 Conclusion
ETH = stability + long-term fundamentals + good token for staking
SOL = speed + risk + rapid growth
