Ethereum's Downfall According to Sonic Labs Co-founder
André Krone, co-founder of Sonic Labs, shares his thoughts on Ethereum's struggles against rival ecosystems:
- Fragmented liquidity and separate L2 networks.
- ETH farming via centralized sequencers causing excess coin supply.
- USDe stablecoin creates ongoing selling pressure.
- Competitors excel in user experience and speed.
- Attempts to maintain neutrality hinder top applications.
- Ethereum scaling roadmap lacks action, waiting for L2 solutions.
- Ecosystem support mainly comes from podcasters, not engineers.
Krone notes that developers prefer platforms like Solana, Avalanche, and Base rather than Ethereum.
