As DeFi matures, the battle between Ethereum’s decentralized architecture and Solana’s high-speed monolithic approach intensifies. Michael Egorov, Founder of Curve Finance, weighs in on which vision will shape the future of blockchain finance in 2025.

  • Ethereum dominates DeFi with 55% TVL, emphasizing decentralization and modular scaling via Layer 2 solutions like Proto-Danksharding.
  • Solana's monolithic architecture achieves 3,000–4,000 TPS but risks centralization due to its leader-node transaction sequencing.
  • Institutional capital favors Ethereum for its neutrality and security, while Solana may thrive in use cases like gaming or state-adapted CBDCs.
