Ethereum vs Solana
Ethereum leads on 0 of 7 shared benchmarks, Solana on 7. Solana wins on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live across 11 chains (13 s vs 15.9 min), Chainlink vs Pyth vs Binance vs Coinbase, live oracle deviation (0.083% vs 0.085%), Highest staking yield, live validator net APR across 7 PoS chains (5.16% vs 2.57%), Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across 15 L1 and L2 chains ($0.000383 vs $0.00481).
Ethereum
PoS chain using Gasper (Casper FFG plus LMD-GHOST). 12-second slots with deterministic finality every two epochs, roughly 12.8 minutes.
Solana
Proof-of-History sequencing combined with Tower BFT consensus. Probabilistic finality at 32 confirmed slots. Slot time around 400 milliseconds.

Frequently asked questions
Ethereum vs Solana: which one is better?
Ethereum and Solana are compared on 8 shared OpenChainBench benchmarks. Solana leads on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live across 11 chains. See the live table on this page for every metric.
Which is faster on fastest l1 blockchain finality, live across 11 chains, Ethereum or Solana?
On the Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live across 11 chains benchmark, Solana leads at 13 s versus Ethereum at 15.9 min. Live measurement is updated continuously by the OpenChainBench harness.
How is the Ethereum vs Solana comparison measured?
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
How this pair was selected
A pair is published when all four conditions hold. Both providers run in the same OpenChainBench benchmark for at least seven consecutive days. Each provider has at least 1000 samples in the measurement window. The head to head query has observable third party search demand. Both providers have a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo so the methodology is externally verifiable.
