Drawing parallels between Solana and Ethereum, White emphasized the striking similarity in the filling of blocks on both networks. He stated, “Solana’s blocks are filling up like Ethereum’s.” This underscores the significance of Solana’s rapid adoption and burgeoning transaction volumes.
White’s confidence in Solana’s potential as the next Ethereum is further boosted by insights from a Solana blog post.
