Whenever a particular EIP starts gaining attention, I’m reminded—again—of just how overwhelming @ethereum 's legacy really is. For instance, when ERC-4337 and account abstraction became hot topics, several L1s had already implemented similar concepts natively at the protocol level. Yet the platform that captured the spotlight, and ultimately enjoyed most of the benefits, was still Ethereum. The same pattern is playing out now with emerging AI-agent interaction standards such as x402 (Payment), ERC-8004 (Reputation), and 0G’s proposed ERC-7857 (Intelligence NFT). These ideas could be implemented far more naturally—indeed, much more easily—on object-based architectures like @SuiNetwork, and yet the platforms that end up setting the standard and drawing the attention are almost always EVM-based. @solana shows a similar dynamic. It has been quite some time since it introduced its enterprise-oriented Token Extension set—confidential transfers, immutable owners, transfer hooks, and dozens of other features—yet actual adoption hasn’t grown nearly as explosively as the marketing suggested. Major institutions continue to gravitate toward EVM ecosystems. So I’m left with two feelings: on one hand, I’m glad Ethereum continues attracting top talent, enriching the ecosystem with more robust and diverse standards; on the other hand, I hope competitive L1s like Solana, Sui, and Monad keep pushing their technical narratives more aggressively so that their unique architectures can translate into equally unique, widely adopted use cases.
