Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, believes that Solana is currently the best blockchain to scale decentralized finance (DeFi) at the layer 1 level. This stance reignites the debate on the limitations of Ethereum's modular model.

Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams has voiced strong support for Solanas approach to decentralized finance (DeFi), calling it superior to Ethereums rollup-centric direction. In a recent statement, Adams praised Solanas better road map, team, and approach for building DeFi directly on a monolithic Layer 1 blockchain.
