The differentiation in the architecture of infrastructure L1 is not a coincidence but an inevitable result of design choices.

Recently, in discussions about the evolution of consensus mechanisms, the industry has begun to outline a clear technical roadmap: from early security-first approaches → to increased activity → and finally to the pursuit of large-scale instant finality. This evolutionary trajectory is becoming the core design principle for many new generation L1s.

Because of this, we are seeing significant differences in the architectural choices of various L1s—each chain making distinct technical trade-offs based on its performance goals and application scenarios. This diversified architectural approach actually reflects the industry's deep thinking about the underlying design of blockchain technology.

Architectural differentiation means each finds its own position, there is no absolute superiority or inferiority, the key is still who can survive longer.

Well, to put it bluntly, all the chains are just thinking about how to improve performance... Security has long been compromised, and now it's all about speed, speed, and more speed. Interestingly, these "design choices" sound impressive, but in reality, they are just betting on their own direction.

The thing about architectural differentiation is basically that everyone is trying to find their own path, nothing surprising about that.

Ah, isn't this the era where each chain shows its unique strengths? Finally, someone has explained this thoroughly.

Basically, each chain is betting on its own technological choices, and no one dares to claim they will win in the end. From my quantitative model, this wave of architectural differentiation is indeed an inevitable product of market cycles, but I estimate that only a few will survive... A risk warning: don't be fooled by the performance metrics of new L1s; historical data has already proven everything.

The thing about architectural differentiation is really just each chain competing in its own niche. To put it nicely, it's a "design choice," but frankly, it's just a repeated dance within the triangle of performance, security, and decentralization... But on the other hand, if this competition continues, the ecosystem will indeed become more diverse.
