The co-founder went on to additional state that it will turn into extra possible as quickly as “danksharding is scaled up” as SOL blocks might be submitted into some “information validating bridge contract on ethereum.” Danksharding is a significant improve that might be made to the Ethereum community in a bid to enhance its scalability and effectivity.

What Occurs If Ethereum Reorganizes?
One other X person raised the problem of Solana and Ethereum boasting completely different consensus mechanisms in response to Yakovenko’s assertion. The person requested what would occur to SOL whereas performing as a layer-2 if Ethereum reorganizes.
The Solana co-founder, in response, defined that customers would nonetheless have the ability to get their ETH tokens out of the bridge if that occurred. He additional famous that whether or not or not the community will reorganize if Ethereum does is as much as social consensus and never outlined within the bridge contract. Nonetheless, that might be one other problem, as there’ll have to be an settlement on each ends for seamless integration.
Yakovenko additionally addressed issues about double spending as he said that Solana received’t mint the wrapped ETH token “in its state” till Ethereum hits full finality. He additionally alluded to UASF (user-activated comfortable fork), which may play an integral position in curbing this.
