Ethereum used to dominate almost all non-Bitcoin blockchain sectors but has gradually lost some of its grip to competitors like Solana. VanEck’s research department, MarketVector, delved into comparing the two significant players.
Key Differences
The report, authored by Martin Leinweber, highlights major differences between Solana and Ethereum. In some aspects, such as transaction volume, daily active users, and transaction fees, Solana takes a significant lead.
Current Metrics
Solana processes 3,000% more transactions, has 1,300% more daily active users, and its transaction fees are nearly 5 million percent lower. However, in terms of total value locked (TVL), Ethereum leads with 56%, while Solana holds just 6%. Additionally, Solana lags in institutional adoption.
Forecasts and Prospects
Based on MarketVector's analysis, Solana might be undervalued compared to Ethereum. If Solana continues to outperform in transaction volume and user engagement, its market capitalization could reach 50% of Ethereum's, potentially driving SOL’s price to $330.
The comparative analysis reveals significant differences between Solana and Ethereum across several metrics. While Ethereum maintains an edge in some areas, Solana showcases a high potential for growth and efficiency.
