Questions
Which alt-chain property — throughput, finality, or developer tooling — most determines whether a chain captures durable ecosystem share versus temporary speculation?
- At what transaction fee and speed threshold does an alt-chain become a genuine alternative to Ethereum for DeFi versus only for applications requiring high throughput?
- How does the fragmentation of developer attention across L1 chains compare to the historical browser wars — and what collapses the space to 2-3 survivors?
- Which chain-specific innovation — parallel execution, novel consensus, or hardware optimization — creates the most durable technical moat over a 5-year horizon?
