ChainCatcher news, Multicoin Capital managing partner Kyle Samani recently elaborated on his views regarding the main challenges currently facing Ethereum in an interview.

He is more optimistic about Solana's development path, believing it focuses more on building efficient financial infrastructure.Regarding the prospects of Layer 2 solutions addressing Ethereum's issues, Samani is skeptical, believing that it is difficult to reach a unified standard among various Layer 2s. Although he acknowledges Ethereum's advantages in regulatory status and talent pool, Samani believes the system design limits the realization of these advantages.
