Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has enjoyed a remarkable rise. The platform has established itself as the crypto ecosystem's benchmark for Layer 1 infrastructure. The company's leadership is nevertheless significantly contested. Indeed, with the increased dynamism of the technology market globally, new Layer 1 projects are regularly emerging. Their ambition is to rival or even dethrone Ethereum in this sector. To achieve this, these initiatives propose technological improvements. They also provide enhanced scaling capabilities. Operational advances that generally translate into lower transaction fees for users. In short, they want to do better than Ethereum. But can they? The truth is, it's extremely difficult to predict with any certainty which project(s) will be able to supplant Ethereum. Admittedly, many of these crypto initiatives are not lacking in relevance.

With that in mind, we'll take a closer look at Layer 1 blockchain technology and the particularities of the one developed by Ethereum. We'll then compare some of the crypto industry's most popular Layer 1 projects with Ethereum's.Pour se faire, ces initiatives proposent des améliorations technologiques.

Mais peuvent-elles y parvenir ? À la vérité, il est extrêmement difficile de prédire avec certitude le(s) projet(s) en mesure de supplanter Ethereum. Il faut bien reconnaître que plusieurs de ces initiatives cryptos ne manquent pas de pertinence. Toutefois, c’est sans compter avec le vaste réseau opérationnel qu’Ethereum a construit pour asseoir sa domination sur le marché. Cela dit, nous reviendrons en substance sur la technologie blockchain Layer 1 et la particularité de celle développée par Ethereum. Il sera ensuite question de comparer certains des projets Layer 1 les plus populaires de l’industrie crypto à celle d’Ethereum.

Despite an unstoppable bear market, bitcoin (BTC) is still attracting investors. This infatuation with the flagship crypto is no accident. It's based on the financial relevance the asset has built up over the 14 years of its existence. A period during which the asset has seen its lows. The asset's lowest valuation was $0.001, its first estimated value in October 2009. The flagship crypto has also experienced highs. In November 2021, the price of bitcoin reached a valuation of $69,992. This figure remains, by far, the highest ever reached by bitcoin since it came into existence. Will the leading cryptocurrency return to this level again? Indeed, bitcoin seems to be facing a glass ceiling. Benefiting from the dynamics of the crypto market, the asset has twice reached a price of $30,000 this year. A level that the flagship crypto was subsequently unable to break through. Yet many players in the crypto industry don't seem to trust these trends. Indeed, many of them have repeatedly expressed their optimism in this regard. They believe that, given current economic and financial conditions, the price would explode. Could this be the reason why many asset managers are scrambling to buy as many bitcoins as possible?
