ETH‘s tactical problem is not being able to serve consumer apps

ETH's tactical problem is the L2 free market. It is a great approach from the perspective of finding the right technical solution and remaining decentralized, but the externalities eat away at the user experience, which is equally if not more important. There is simply no way for a normal user to understand what they are getting into with layers, chains, 7702 wallets, evm compatibility and bridges. There is a light at the end of the tunnel if we make blobs bigger, introduce account + chain abstraction, native rollups etc, but this is a massively complex roadmap and will take years to realize. In that time, Solana just works (tm) and is eating ETHs lunch.

AI summary of the linked article

The author argues that Ethereum's central tactical problem is its free market of L2 chains, which is technically sound and decentralized but creates externalities that degrade user experience. Layers, chains, EIP-7702 wallets, EVM compatibility and bridges are too complex for a normal user to understand. Ethereum fixes such as bigger blobs, account and chain abstraction, and native rollups are described as a massively complex roadmap that will take years, during which Solana is said to be eating Ethereum's lunch.
