Ethereum vs Solana
Both are smart-contract platforms where apps, tokens and DeFi live. Ethereum is the older, larger ecosystem; Solana bets on speed and low fees on a single fast chain.

⚖️ Key differences
Ethereum scales mostly through layer-2 networks built on top; Solana tries to do everything on its base layer. Ethereum has more developers and value locked; Solana has had faster growth in some consumer apps but also several network outages.
⚠️ Risks
Ethereum: high fees on the main chain, competition from rivals. Solana: past outages, more concentrated validator hardware needs, and heavy token-unlock history.
