Uniswap Founder Warns: Ethereum May Fall Behind Solana at Layer 1 (L1)
Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap, expressed his concern about the development trajectory of the Ethereum network. He warned that the network's renewed focus on Layer 1 (L1) solutions instead of continuing to develop Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions could result in it lagging behind competitors like Solana.
Adams emphasized that the issue is not about narratives on Twitter, but about actual progress in engineering and development. He stated:
"It's not about Twitter narratives — it's real engineering work. We are much closer to achieving scalable DeFi using L2 compared to L1."
Solana is characterized by a strong development team and a clear roadmap focused on scalability, making it a formidable competitor. Adams's remarks suggest that Ethereum urgently needs to prioritize L2 solutions to maintain its leadership in decentralized finance.
