The parallel EVM track is crowded, and founders can’t sit still

In the recent market, meme coins have been outstanding, and sector rotation is now measured in hours. It is visible to the naked eye that everyone is more anxious, but there are also some interesting things worth sharing. In the past few days, Sei founder Jay and Eclipse founder Neel Somani have criticized each other many times, which has attracted attention.

On March 21, Jay posted on social media that he “has always been deeply interested in projects that raise huge amounts of money (more than US$50 million) from venture capital.” Skepticism. There was a lot of hype before launch, but very few examples of successful ecosystems being built subsequently."

Later, Neel forwarded "Always follow the wind. "We are deeply skeptical of projects that raise huge amounts of money (more than US$30 million). There is a lot of hype before the launch, but there are very few examples of successful ecosystems being established subsequently." Sei's press release announcing the financing is accompanied by a picture, which is full of gunpowder. .

This morning, Jay posted Posted a post saying "Sei v2 will combine the best parts of Solana and Ethereum", and then Neel forwarded this tweet and replied, "This term sounds a bit familiar." We know that Eclipse just completed $50 million in financing in March, and its main feature is to introduce Solana’s SVM into the Ethereum ecosystem.

All do parallel EVM , there will inevitably be conflicts in the narrative, but this is not the first time that Jay has made "spicy comments" about other projects. On March 20, Jay posted: "Always be deeply skeptical of anyone claiming unlimited horizontal scalability. Either they don't know what they are talking about, or it is purely a marketing gimmick."

And this is for Fantom recently launched Fantom Sonic, which claims to be an "infinitely parallel horizontally scalable VM based on ZK proof". Jay also went to the AC comment area to directly confront the line and asked, "Can you elaborate on how to obtain infinite horizontal expansion without sacrificing synchronization composability?" The degree of involution of the parallel EVM track is evident.

Sei’s V2 version has not yet been released. Monad, which was launched on the internal test network on March 12, is already on its way. Eclipse’s previous high financing also proves that capital is betting on this track. Paradigm, meanwhile, is in talks to lead a funding round of more than $200 million in Monad Labs.

In addition to the entry of these well-known large projects, there are also some old projects that are also doing parallel-related upgrades. Solana uses its Sealevel technology to implement parallel smart contract processing, Sui Improving throughput through Narwhal and Bullshark components, Fuel achieving parallel transaction execution through the UTXO model, and Aptos using the Block-STM engine to improve transaction processing capabilities, all demonstrate the different implementations and advantages of parallel technology in the blockchain field.

It can be seen that the competition in the parallel EVM track is becoming increasingly fierce.
