The post Surprise Statements from the Founder of UniSwap, One of Ethereum’s Largest Platforms: He Praised Another Altcoin – “Their Roadmap is Better” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Uniswap (UNI) founder Hayden Adams has stirred up new controversy in the Ethereum community by questioning the blockchain’s approach to scaling and warning that Solana could gain the upper hand if DeFi continues to rely on Ethereum’s Layer 1. “If the plan is to do DeFi at Layer 1 or vertical scaling, Solana has the better roadmap, team, and approach,” Adams said in a post on social media, comparing the roadmaps of the two networks. His comments on Solana come amid ongoing debate within the ETH ecosystem over whether to continue prioritizing a rollup-centric Layer 2 (L2) strategy or reconsider more direct Layer 1 scaling improvements. ETH has long focused on horizontal scaling via rollup-L2 solutions that process off-chain transactions and settle them on the mainnet. Adams defended this approach, stressing that Ethereum’s five-year commitment to rollup-centric scaling should not be undermined by changing views. “Ethereum has been working towards a layer 2-centric or horizontal scaling roadmap for over 5 years,” Adams said. “I am all for scaling improvements to layer 1; the rollup-centric roadmap actually requires it.” However, he criticized the inconsistency in the way some in the Ethereum community have handled Layer 2s, saying it was a contradiction to claim to support rollups while still largely relying on L1 for core functionality. *This is not investment advice.
