- Ethereum's Investment Returns: A $10,000 investment in Ethereum in 2015 has grown to $10.5 million today, demonstrating its stability as a 'blue chip' token and attracting significant institutional investor interest.
- Polkadot's Market Performance: Since a $10,000 investment in Polkadot in 2020 has shrunk to about $6,900, reflecting challenges in a competitive market, although its flexible parachain structure offers certain advantages.
- Impact of Technological Upgrades: Ethereum's Dencun upgrade reduces L2 transaction costs by over 90%, potentially attracting more developers and users, thereby solidifying its dominant position in decentralized finance (DeFi) app development.
- Polkadot's Core Update: Polkadot's 'Agile Coretime' update replaces costly parachain slot auctions to lower costs and risks for app-specific chains, although it still needs to stand out in the crowded small PoS blockchain market.
