Bram Cohen, the brand new CEO of crypto startup Chia Community, just lately launched a press release criticizing Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency limitations.

In response to Cohen, whereas Ethereum is designed as a “world laptop” with infinite on-chain scalability, it is a dumb concept as a result of all on-chain validation have to be replicated by all full nodes, which is very redundant.

Cohen additionally famous that even with vital engineering efforts to enhance Ethereum’s limits, the community can solely assist about twice the transaction throughput of Bitcoin.

This poor efficiency is because of the truth that Solidity and the EVM are a crap platform with hardly any work executed on trivial engineering points to make issues higher.

Cohen identified that even with nice constant-factor efficiency, like a tenfold improve in capability, the thought of ​​a “world laptop” would nonetheless stay an phantasm.

He clarified that he was not making enjoyable of Ethereum, however identified that this deliberate change could possibly be simply ignored as if it by no means occurred.

As an alternative, Ethereum improvement managed to make the entire thing extra centralized, exacerbating their MEV (Most Extractable Worth) drawback.

Even the sharding plan (additionally a nasty concept) appears to have been quietly deserted in favor of ZK rollups and proof of stake, an inexpensive plan however nonetheless solely a plan.
