Gavin Wood: Polkadot currently has a Satoshi coefficient of 149, much higher than Ethereum and Solana
In a recent interview with Forbes, Ethereum co-founder and Polkadot founder Gavin Wood expressed satisfaction with the decentralization of Polkadot. According to Nakaflow data, Polkadot currently has a Satoshi coefficient of 149, which means that at least 149 independent validators need to join forces to break the network. In comparison, some other major blockchains score much lower, such as Solana's score of 19 and Ethereum's score of only 2. Gavin Wood also proposed five basic criteria for judging the potential of a blockchain, which are:
1. Resilience: The cornerstone of Web 3, resilience combines cryptography, decentralization, and game theory to protect blockchains from attacks and ensure their long-term stability.
2. Performance: Not just scalability, performance also measures the efficiency of a network in processing and completing tasks.
3. Generality: The ability of blockchain to support multiple applications and programmability.
4. Accessibility: The ease with which users, developers, applications, and robots can interact with the network.
5. Consistency: The ability of a system to maintain fast and consistent communication across its network.
