Title: Solana vs Ethereum – As a Dev, Which One Do You Prefer?
Post by: BlockHQ on Jul 25, 2025, 09:22 PM
Solana's speed vs Ethereum's maturity.
As a developer – which do you prefer building on?

What are the pros and cons in your daily work?
Have you switched chains recently?

Let's keep it technical and respectful 🔧

As someone who's spent time on both chains, I'll say this — Solana is blazing fast and great for pushing updates quickly, but the tooling still feels fragile at times. Ethereum, on the other hand, may be slower, but the dev ecosystem is rock solid.

For critical apps? I go ETH.
For experiments and performance-heavy stuff? Solana all day.

Also, lately I've been exploring L2s more (shoutout to Base & zkSync), and they feel like the sweet spot between both worlds.

Anyone else building cross-chain these days?
