First, StarkNet's fees remain low as its network scales, while Solana (SOL) fees will rise in case of congestion.

Then, StarkNet's "property rights" are actually those of Ethereum, so all interactions are protected by the entire L1 hashrate. At the same time, StarkNet is more decentralized.

While Ethereum (ETH) has four independent clients developed by different teams, Solana (SOL) has only one, and this status quo will most likely remain untouched.

Finally, ownership of Solana's native token, SOL, looks far more whale-dominated than that of Ether's supply. Mr. Berckmans recalls that 40% of SOL is considered non-circulating supply.

As covered by U.Today previously, second-layer scalability solutions for Ethereum (ETH) are witnessing unparalleled upsurge in terms of user activity and total value locked.
