Solana vs. Ethereum heats up – Is the ‘ETH killer’ narrative finally real?

The competition between L1s has never been this tight.
As blockchain adoption grows, L1s are upgrading their infrastructure to attract more real-world use cases. In 2025, the pace of back-to-back upgrades has accelerated, pushing mainstream adoption even further.
Notably, Solana and Ethereum remain at the center of this rivalry. Over the years, both L1s have gone head-to-head.
However, it looks like Solana [SOL] might finally be living up to its “Ethereum-killer” narrative.
