Ethereum and Solana have dominated crypto headlines for years. Their networks power thousands of applications and process billions in value. But with the 2025 cycle heating up, attention is beginning to shift.
Ethereum is scaling through Layer 2s. Solana is improving uptime and pushing into mobile. Both remain key players. But there’s also a new Layer 1 quietly building core infrastructure, one that isn’t relying on branding or hype to get noticed.
That chain is Kaanch Network.
Ethereum continues to lead the Layer 1 space by total value locked and developer activity. The transition to proof-of-stake has stabilized energy use, and Layer 2s like Arbitrum and Optimism have made Ethereum more scalable for users and dApps.
Recent ETH news highlights include:
A planned EIP that reduces gas costs across L2s
Continued ETH staking growth, now surpassing 32 million ETH locked
High demand for EigenLayer and restaking services
Ethereum is likely to remain the most secure and institutionally adopted chain in the market. But it comes with trade-offs in speed and user cost.
Solana has had a strong recovery following its early network struggles. It is now attracting NFT projects, consumer apps, and gaming developers who want a fast, low-cost chain.
Key updates include:
New validator client implementations to improve stability
Expansion of mobile initiatives with the Solana Mobile Stack
Growth in NFT volume and tokenized assets
Solana’s core value remains its transaction throughput and lower latency. It fills a performance gap between Ethereum mainnet and L2s. That said, finality is still variable, and its network remains more centralized than competitors.
While ETH and SOL take most of the spotlight, Kaanch Network has entered presale with a focus on speed, decentralization, and identity not just branding.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
1.4 million TPS with 0.8 second finality
3,600 validators for real decentralization
Cross-chain support with Ethereum, Solana, and BNB
.knch domains for on-chain identity and verification
A token supply limited to 58 million $KNCH
Live staking during presale with up to 30% APY
It’s rare to see this level of infrastructure during a presale. Most projects publish vague whitepapers and launch tokens on borrowed networks. Kaanch is doing it differently, and that difference is structural.
With Ethereum evolving through L2s and Solana optimizing core performance, users are beginning to look for alternatives that are both fast and decentralized. Kaanch is designed to handle asset issuance, real-time smart contracts, and identity verification — all without needing a bridge or middleware.
If it gains developer adoption, it could become a serious alternative for projects that want Ethereum’s credibility and Solana’s speed, but with a more flexible foundation.
Ethereum and Solana are still leading. That’s not changing in the short term. But new projects with working infrastructure, low finality, and verifiable identity will define the next wave of growth.
Kaanch Network might not be trending on social feeds yet, but in terms of real architecture, it’s one of the most complete crypto presales in the market right now.
If you're looking beyond the headlines, this is one chain worth watching closely.
