$ETH Why does Ethereum have so much potential?
1. Base infrastructure of Web3
It is the standard platform for smart contracts, NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, blockchain games, and much more.
Almost all relevant Web3 projects (Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea, Chainlink, ENS) started and run on Ethereum or its Layer 2s.
2. Continuous development led by a strong technical community
Vitalik Buterin + the dev community are extremely active.
Proposals like EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding) and full sharding will massively scale the network with low costs.
3. Deflationary tokenomics
Since EIP-1559, ETH has been partially burned in transactions.
With post-Merge staking (Ethereum 2.0), ETH is becoming increasingly scarce.
This creates a deflationary model (supply decreases over time).
4. Robust security and decentralization
Second largest blockchain by hashrate and validators.
Maintains decentralization even with Proof-of-Stake, something faster blockchains sacrifice.
5. Faster evolution than BTC
Bitcoin is more conservative (intentionally).
Ethereum updates its structure more frequently and is building disruptive technology.
⚖️ Comparison Ethereum vs Other Networks (BNB, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano, Polygon)
Feature Ethereum BNB Chain Solana Avalanche Cardano Polygon (L2)
Security Very High (PoS) Centralized (PoA) Medium Good High Inherited from ETH
Decentralization High Low Medium Medium High High
Speed (TPS) ~30 (base) / 1000+ (L2) High 65,000+ 4,500+ Low 2,000+
Cost per Tx High on base / Low L2 Very Low Very Low Low Low Low
Ecosystem LARGEST of all Focused on DeFi and CEX Fast and NFT Technical DeFi Development Complementary to ETH
Active developers +6,000 ~900 ~1,200 ~700 ~900 ~1,500
Reliability Very High Questionable Frequently drops Stable Stable Stable
Compatible with ETH? Yes Partial No Yes No (Haskell) Yes
Technical Summary: Ethereum is the most balanced platform between security, decentralization, and functionality
