Solana co-founder Raj Gokal has identified Avalanche (AVAX) and Cosmos Hub (ATOM) as the frontrunners in the emerging field of sovereign blockchains.
What are Sovereign Blockchains?
Sovereign blockchains are controlled by a single entity, unlike decentralized public blockchains like Bitcoin.
Cosmos and Avalanche: Key Differences
Gokal acknowledged the differences between Cosmos and Avalanche:
- Cosmos: An established project with a decentralized approach.
- Avalanche: Provides more coordination and customization options for developers.
Praise for Avalanche Founder
Gokal commended Avalanche founder Emin Gün Sirer for his competitive spirit and support for other founders. He described Sirer as “the most ferocious layer-1 founder” he knows.
Solana’s Competitive Edge
Gokal emphasized Solana’s embrace of competition and its respect for the innovation brought by its rivals.
