Ethereum ETHUSD developer Eric Conner, co-author of EIP 1559, one of the game-changing Ethereum ETHUSD upgrades, explains why it makes no sense to compare the second largest blockchain and Solana SOLUSD.
Solana UX versus Ethereum L2 UX: Are they really different?
After the successful activation of EIP 4844, Ethereum ETHUSD and Solana SOLUSD have extremely minimal differences when it comes to user experience. Ethereum ETHUSD dev Eric Conner says that the two networks now demonstrate similar metrics of transaction fees and operational speed.
I’m so tired of these takes. Going to start calling every single one out.
Solana UX vs. Ethereum L2 UX has extremely minimal differences.
<$0.01 fees, instant txs, major wallet integrations

Both networks now have transactional fees below $0.01 in equivalent, instant transaction confirmation and integrations with all mainstream on-chain wallets.
Conner reacted to the opinion of Qiao Wang, co-founder of Messari. The seasoned analyst shared a conversation with an old-time Ethereum ETHUSD user who described his experience with modern ETH as “annoying” because of slowness and rawness.
Returning to Ethereum ETHUSD from Solana SOLUSD looked to the speaker like returning to Bitcoin BTCUSD from Ethereum ETHUSD, Wang admitted.
As covered by U.Today previously, Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade was activated successfully on March 13, 2024. Thanks to the newly-introduced “blob” data concept, it reduced fees on Ethereum-based L2s below $0.01.
Solana SOLUSD as counter-narrative to Ethereum ETHUSD: Justin Bons’ opinion
At the same time, Ethereum ETHUSD skeptics continue to express their criticism despite the radical upgrade being deployed.
Analyst Justin Bons of CyberCapital VC fund, who repeatedly slammed scaling tactics of Ethereum ETHUSD and Bitcoin BTCUSD, claimed that Solana SOLUSD with its “sufficient scalability” serves as a sort of counter-narrative to Ethereum ETHUSD.
At the same time, he admitted that at this stage, Solana SOLUSD is far from having the best experience, or the best tech, “or the best of anything.”
