The Evolution of L1 Landscape: Bitcoin to Ethereum to Solana to SAE
Jay Jog discusses the evolution of Layer 1 (L1) blockchains, from Bitcoin to Ethereum to Solana and finally to SAE. Each L1 has different trade-offs in terms of security, transaction throughput, and other decisions. SAE aims to combine the best features of Ethereum and Solana by building a parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on a high-performance infrastructure. This expansion of the design space for developers allows for more scalable and diverse applications beyond the limitations of the current Ethereum L1.
