This second half of the year, the on-chain market will kick off on Ethereum and Solana. This is also a key issue that traders are closely watching.
Ethereum and Solana will both undergo important upgrades: Ethereum’s Glamsterdam and Solana’s Alpenglow.
Ethereum’s main upgrade directions include the following points:
1.Enshrined PBS: On-chain built-in Proposer-Builder Separation. This removes reliance on external MEV-Boost, enables trustless builder payments, and extends the block propagation window
2.Block-Level Access Lists: Pre-maps transaction dependencies in advance, enabling parallel transaction execution, execution-independent synchronization, and parallel disk read/write operations. This is equivalent to supporting multiple tasks running simultaneously.
3.Gas Repricing Package: The base fee for simple transfers can be reduced by approximately 71%. Overall L1 fees will also decrease. The exact reduction amount will depend on post-upgrade testing — official data should be used as the final reference.
There are also some other minor upgrades that I won’t detail here. Ethereum is steadily moving toward stateless clients and full Danksharding.
Overall improvements can be summarized as: enhanced scalability and throughput, improved MEV fairness, significantly lower L1 fees, cheaper simple transfers, and better efficiency for nodes and the network.
Compared to Ethereum, Solana’s upgrade direction is more straightforward and aggressive:
1.A completely rewritten client from the ground up, which brings greater diversity, improves network resilience, and reduces the risk of single-client failures.
2.Performance and reliability: Higher throughput potential, more transactions, more stable block production, while laying a solid foundation for the next major upgrade.
3.A brand-new consensus mechanism. The original Proof of History (PoH) and Tower BFT will be replaced by Votor + Rotor.
4.Finality time will drop from approximately 12.8 seconds to 100–150 milliseconds — a massive improvement (over 100x faster). This includes protocol simplification and the introduction of features like the Validator Admission Ticket.
Overall improvements can be summarized as: much faster real-time transaction confirmation, which is especially friendly for DeFi, games, and other applications with significantly lower latency. It is also more developer-friendly, with deeper CPI nesting, making it easier to build more complex dApps. At the same time, it is better suited for various script-based players running on Solana.
When facing the upgrades of Solana and Ethereum, what deserves more attention is how to seize the opportunities and screen for more valuable tokens on-chain. This is something that can change someone’s life — and it’s exactly why we keep fighting and grinding on-chain.
Looking at the past and into the future at this stage, I am actually more bullish on $ASTEROID (the Space Dog). Below I’ll explain the specific reasons and some developments I see happening:
1.The LIV Foundation was created by @rebeccaperrottoon Solana’s BAGS platform by claiming royalties. It exists to honor LIV.
2.Many people may not know that initially the royalties were claimed by @rebeccaperrotto. After the official @Liv_StargraceTwitter account was established and a donation channel was set up,@TheGivingBlocktemporarily led and safeguarded the funds, laying the groundwork for the formal establishment of the LIV Foundation. The royalty funds collected during this period will ultimately be sent back to the @Liv_Stargrace Foundation.
3. In January 2022, LIV invented a zero-gravity sensor and, in just about 30 minutes, drew the image of this ASTEROID Shiba Inu plush toy — combining inspiration and genius in one. In September 2024, this plush toy actually flew into space aboard the Polaris Dawn mission (SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience) and served as the mission’s zero-gravity indicator. SpaceX also began selling replica Asteroid plush toys around the time of the mission. Fast-forward to 2026 — the Asteroid plush is expected to be restocked in September.
4.With the official establishment of the LIV Foundation, it will also claim $ASTEROID royalties on Solana’s BAGS platform. Carrying LIV’s will, it will travel far and wide to help children who dream of space, as well as helpless children suffering from cancer or other illnesses, just like LIV did.
5.Elon Musk and Justin Sun (孙宇晨) may appear in other forms.
6.The great mother will also shift from a default/supporting role to formal support. Nothing is more important than sincerity being met with sincerity.
As for the market’s prejudice against the BAGS platform, I believe it will gradually fade over time with @Finn
