The founder of this Altcoin rebelled against the interest shown in Ethereum: "Our update was 5 times larger than Pectra's"

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko made bold statements about the new version of Solana in a statement following the recent Pectra update of Ethereum.

Yakovenko stated that with the Solana v2.2 release, there has been a 20% increase in the network's transaction power, which corresponds to a capacity increase five times that of Ethereum's Pectra update.

On Wednesday, the Ethereum network successfully launched Pectra, the third major update following the Merge. This update aims to improve the user experience of the network, enhance scalability, and strengthen staking flexibility. Pectra includes innovations such as account abstraction (, adjustments in data storage requirements, increasing validator staking limits, and greater flexibility in withdrawal operations.

Before Pectra, the price of Ethereum had decreased by 33.3% due to global economic pressures and the effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade wars and geopolitical tensions, dropping from $2,727 to $1,818.

However, on Thursday, after Trump signed a trade agreement with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, recovery began in the markets. Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 level again, while Ethereum also exceeded the $2,000 threshold and reached $2,400 today for the first time since early March.
