The founder of Dfinity aims at Ethereum’s complex two-layer solution

Dominic Williams, the founder of Dfinity and its Internet computer, criticized the scaling solutions proposed by Polkadot and Ethereum because they provide a disconnected user experience.

The self-proclaimed “blockchain maximizationist” criticized Ethereum’s thriving second-tier scaling solution ecosystem, describing Ethereum as starting to resemble a ridiculously crafted “Rube Goldberg” machine“The second-tier cloud application.”

Williams asserted that the second-tier nodes will bring friction points to Ethereum users and expose them to counterparty security vulnerabilities, and emphasized that more than half of Ethereum nodes are hosted by Amazon Web Services:

“Many of the proof-of-stake networks that people invest in today are actually just second-tier applications in the cloud-we found this to be very disappointing. Blockchain shouldn’t run on Amazon Web Services, where they can steal validator keys And do all kinds of bad things.”

Williams asserted that when users access the blockchain through the cloud, “they must download MetaMask from Amazon or something to keep them tracked.”

He tried to compare it with Dfinity’s Internet Identity Protocol, which he claimed was different from MetaMask and many other services downloaded from the app store, which he claimed “cannot track you.”

The founder of Dfinity highlighted the many friction points and steep learning curve that affect the user experience of Ethereum, and pointed out: “If you want to adopt blockchain on a large scale, you can’t ask people to install MetaMask and then have to buy some Ether from Coinbase. —That’s ridiculous. People need to interact with the blockchain without tokens — tokens will come later. This is really a big problem.”

“On a traditional blockchain, you need to use MetaMask or something similar to create these transactions-this is not a good user experience.”

Williams also took aim at Polkadot’s upcoming sharded parachain ecosystem, comparing its relay chain to a “centralized charging center” that mediates between different blockchains. He also criticized its sharding vision for failing to ensure “interchangeability between smart contracts.”

“DeFi is so successful on Ethereum […] Because these smart contracts exist in a seamless universe, they can all plug into each other-everyone can extend other people’s systems,” he added.

Because of its Cautiously launch the mainnet in December 2020, Williams claimed that the wider crypto community and the rampant FUD theme on social media knew little about Dfinity, and lamented that the poor marketing of the project had little effect in solving this situation.

in spite of The so-called FUD storm, Williams asserted that “By December this year, the number of Internet computer users will exceed the sum of all other blockchains.”
