Henüz Ethereum'u silmeyin.
The second-largest blockchain network by market capitalization after Bitcoin has become the dominant venue for some of the hottest cryptocurrency innovations, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to non-fungible tokens (NFT).
Ağın popülaritesi - ve üzerinde işlem yapmanın yüksek ücretleri - Ethereum'u daha düşük maliyetler, daha yüksek hızlar ve daha yüksek verim ile alt etmeyi amaçlayan çok sayıda rakibe ilham verdi. Solana, Binance Smart Chain ve hatta Cardano gibi gelecek vadeden “ETH katillerinin” veya 1. katman blok zinciri alternatiflerinin bir gün pazar liderini geçebileceğine dair spekülasyonlar, rakiplerin token fiyatlarını yükseltti.
Ancak büyük yatırımcılara kripto para araştırması sağlayan Coinbase Institutional'daki analistler, Ethereum'un yeni başlayanları savuşturmayı başarabileceğini söylüyor.
Ethereum’s layer 2, or companion system, which works alongside the main blockchain to speed transactions at lower cost, may help to stave off competition from other layer 1, or base layer, protocols. Planned upgrades to Ethereum itself, such as a full transition to a proof-of-stake blockchain from the current proof-of-work system as well as the introduction of sharding may also help.
As the ecosystem’s scalability improves, users of decentralized applications, or dapps, may refrain from looking for faster and cheaper alternatives to Ethereum, Coinbase Institutional said in a recent report.
Coinbase Institutional, “yakın vadede kripto alanında birden fazla zincirin bir arada var olmasını” beklediğini, ancak Ethereum'un tahtını koruyabileceğini söyledi.
“We do think that the culmination of [layer 2] scaling solutions combined with upgrades like the Beacon Chain merge and sharding could limit progress for alternative [layer 1s] in their current form,” according to the Coinbase Institutional report.
Proof-of-stake geçişi
The Ethereum Blockchain is about to transition to a proof-of-stake consensus model from the energy-intensive proof-of-work mechanism the Bitcoin blockchain uses. This will happen by merging with the Beacon Chain – effectively a beta version of the future proof-of-stake blockchain that’s already up and running.
The changes should help reduce energy consumption and computational power on Ethereum. While this does not guarantee faster transactions and lower gas fees, the availability of layer 2 systems like zero knowledge (zk) rollups can attract developers and encourage capital to stay in the ecosystem.
Coinbase analistlerine göre, gelişmenin 1'nin ikinci yarısında 2022. katman alternatiflerinin fırsatlarını daraltması muhtemel.
Zk-Rollups bundle transactions together and execute them in an off-chain environment before sending the updated transaction data back to Ethereum. The scalability that can be achieved as rollups gain more widespread use could be key to the success of Ethereum 2.0, according to Coinbase Institutional.
Rapora göre, "Bu, ağın uzun vadede potansiyel olarak milyarlarca kullanıcıya ölçeklenmesine izin vermek için çok önemli olacak ve saniyede on binlerce işlem gerçekleştirecek".
