This chapter delves into the intricacies of virtual machine design, discussing the limitations of 32-byte register storage values and the potential performance impact. It also compares Ethereum and Solana in the context of global data synchronization, fast data propagation, and the debate between L1 and L2 solutions.
------ Ethereum vs. Solana. That’s the debate we’re having today.
On Ethereum’s side we have Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, and on the Solana’s we have Solana’s Co-Founder Anatoly Yakovenko.
They give us the good, the bad and the ugly of each other’s blockchain, settling their endgame towards the end of the episode.
This was one, if not the spiciest debate we had on the show. We tried our best to give both guests time with minimal intervention. At times went well, at others it caused deep semantic rabbit holes. But overall both guests were able to communicate their messages.
