2021年,以太坊價格暴漲,但隨著越來越多代幣不斷涌現(xiàn),第二大加密貨幣面臨失寵的風(fēng)險。
以太坊的加密貨幣以太坊的價格在1月突破1,000美元,之后便一路上漲。其周三的交易價格超過4,200美元。
雖然價格上漲,但有多款代幣和以太坊網(wǎng)絡(luò)的替代選擇憑借各自的優(yōu)勢快速走紅。Ava Labs開發(fā)的代幣Avalanche在本周成為十大最有價值的加密貨幣之一,因為此前有消息稱該公司與德勤(Deloitte)達成合作,將采用Avalanche區(qū)塊鏈。
Ava Labs稱,相對于以太坊網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的智能合同應(yīng)用,Avalanche能夠用更少時間和成本處理更多交易。另外一款代幣Solana最近進入了前五大最有價值的加密貨幣行列,部分原因是其交易處理能力。以太坊的交易處理速率為每秒15至45筆,而Solana每秒可以完成50,000筆。
Innovating Capital聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人安東尼·吉奧吉德表示,Solana的另外一個優(yōu)勢是支持許多傳統(tǒng)金融工程師熟知的編程語言Rust。Innovating Capital是一家專注于數(shù)字資產(chǎn)投資的科技基金。吉奧吉德表示,相比之下,以太坊使用的Solidity是一種相對較新的編程語言。而Solana支持Rust,這為吸引更多用戶在其網(wǎng)絡(luò)上開發(fā)應(yīng)用創(chuàng)造了條件。
吉奧吉德稱:“你不能忽視你所看到的整體市場狀況,以及在這些新平臺上的開發(fā)者,但與此同時,這些平臺也必須努力做到簡單、兼容,因為他們清楚以太坊有打持久戰(zhàn)的能力?!?/p>
他表示,盡管面對其他代幣的威脅,以太坊依舊占據(jù)了先行者的優(yōu)勢。人們在以太坊網(wǎng)絡(luò)上已經(jīng)開發(fā)了許多應(yīng)用,預(yù)計明年推出的Eth2升級,將很快克服以太坊目前的許多劣勢。Eth2的一系列升級將提升以太坊的可擴展性和安全性,并減少對環(huán)境的破壞。
Lowenstein Sandler律師事務(wù)所科技部合伙人馬特·薩瓦爾表示,以太坊的這些變化可能給Avalanche和Cardano等替代區(qū)塊鏈帶來風(fēng)險。但薩瓦爾表示,整個行業(yè)在不斷發(fā)展,這從長遠來說對以太坊有利。

Ether skyrocketed in value in 2021, but as more altcoins gain prominence the second most popular cryptocurrency is at risk of losing some of its luster.
Ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, broke $1,000 in January and never looked back. It was trading at more than $4,200 Wednesday.
Despite the rise in value, several prominent altcoins and alternatives to the ethereum network have jumped in popularity because of the advantages they have over Ethereum. The altcoin Avalanche, by Ava Labs, briefly jumped into the top ten most valuable cryptocurrencies this week after news came out of a deal the company struck with Deloitte to use the Avalanche blockchain.
Ava Labs claims that Avalanche can process more transactions, in less time, and for less money than smart contract applications built on the Ethereum network. Solana, another altcoin, also jumped into the top five most valuable cryptocurrencies recently in part because of its transaction processing ability. Compared to Ethereum’s transaction processing rate of between 15 and 45 transactions per second, Solana can complete 50,000.
Solana also has the advantage of supporting the programming language Rust, which some traditional financial engineers already know, said Anthony Georgiades cofounder of Innovating Capital, a technology fund that invests in digital assets. This differs from Ethereum which uses Solidity, a fairly new programming language compared to Rust, Georgiades said. Because it supports Rust, Solana has opened the door for more people to build on its network.
“You can’t ignore what you see in terms of the overall market and developers building on top of these new platforms but at the same there’s a reason these platforms are striving to be easy and compatible, because they see there’s staying power with Ethereum,” he said.
Despite the threat of altcoins, Ethereum has the upper hand in being first, Georgiades said. Many applications are already built on the Ethereum network and with upgrades from Eth2 slated to be rolled out next year, many of the current disadvantages of Ethereum could be resolved soon. With Eth2 a series of updates are set to make Ethereum more scalable, secure, and less environmentally damaging.
These changes to Ethereum could be a risk to alternative blockchains such as Avalanche and Cardano said Matt Savare, a partner in the Tech Group at the law firm Lowenstein Sandler. Yet, the industry is also growing overall, said Savare, which will be a good thing for Ethereum in the long run.
According to ReportLinker.com the blockchain market is projected to grow from $4.9 billion to more than $67 billion in less than five years. So, even if alternative blockchains and coins continue to take market share from Ethereum, the network will have staying power as long as it continues to evolve and foster its community, said Savare.
“It's not a zero sum game,” he said.
