🌐 Layer 1 Wars: Is the Battle Really Over? Or Just Heating Up Again?

Okay, let's be real — remember when everyone said “L1 wars are done”? Yeah, not quite. 2025 is bringing plot twists. 👀

🪐 Solana’s having a main character moment.

Fast. Cheap. Scalable. It’s gone from “ETH killer?” to “ETH co-star?” and the charts are vibing. Dev activity is strong, and even institutions are poking around again.

🧠 Ethereum? Still the OG.

L2s may be taking some heat off, but ETH’s still home base for DeFi. Plus, devs haven’t stopped building — and with the latest proto-danksharding updates, gas pain is slowly fading. Finally.

🧪 Enter the new challengers: Sui, Berachain & friends.

Sui is playing the "easy dev" game. Berachain is cooking up a whole new consensus mechanism — Proof of Liquidity, anyone? These aren’t just copycats; they’re bringing real tech.

💣 So is it peace? Or just a coffee break before another L1 showdown?

My take: the battle lines are just being redrawn. Innovation = arms race.

📊 Trends are telling — but so are narratives. Who’s winning in your eyes: Solana? ETH? Or someone flying under the radar?
