A fascinating philosophical divide has emerged between two of the biggest names in crypto: Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana) and Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum).
The debate centers on how a blockchain should survive in the long run. Here’s the breakdown:
🔹 Vitalik Buterin’s Vision: The "Walkaway Test"
Vitalik believes Ethereum should reach a state of ossification. The goal is for the network to become so self-sustaining that it can function for decades without any developer influence or active intervention. Stability is the ultimate priority.
🔹 Anatoly Yakovenko’s Vision: Continuous Iteration
The Solana CEO strongly disagrees. He argues that a blockchain must be a constantly evolving network. According to Anatoly:
"If it ever stops changing to fit the needs of its devs and users, it will die."
For Solana, survival depends on the ability to update and adapt to new technology and user demands in real-time.
💡 What’s your take?
Do you prefer a "Set in Stone" blockchain that stays the same forever (like Bitcoin or Vitalik's vision for ETH), or a "Life-like" network that is always changing (Solana)?
