SVMs on Ethereum Are Competitive to Solana Mainnet
summary
Claims that an SVM rollup settling to Ethereum can capture fees and MEV at the entry point, with an implementation live for about two to three weeks, a third‑party Hyperlane bridge connecting it to other chains, and observed EVM dApps porting to Rust for cross‑deployment. Counterarguments note loss of real-time censorship resistance from single sequencers, tradeoffs in DA latency versus integrated chains, and proposals: base rollups, multiple sequencers, PBS effects on builder centralization. Concrete question: what minimal sequencer set gives sufficient censorship guarantees without full L1 overhead?
