Tensions have escalated between supporters of Solana and Ethereum. Solana's recent slowdown has sparked debates. Ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin blamed the high cost of gas fees for Ethereum's decline, while Solana's co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko called Ethereum a "cockroach settlement layer." This discord intensified as tokens within Ethereum's layer-2 networks, like Optimism and Arbitrum, gained popularity due to lower fees, while Solana's assets saw declines. This rivalry has become a prominent theme in discussions on social media.
