Ever thought about how dramatically different blockchain architectures scale? What takes Ethereum a massive network could theoretically compress into just two smart contracts on Internet Computer – ICP. The gap between traditional Layer 1 design and alternative blockchain models is wider than most realize. Whether it's about throughput, storage efficiency, or architectural innovation, this kind of efficiency comparison highlights why the ecosystem keeps exploring new consensus mechanisms and execution models.

ETH0,11%

ICP0,59%

Is ICP really more efficient than ETH? Why do I always feel that ICP discussions are not as high as ETH...

Can two ICP contracts handle the entire Ethereum network? Sounds unbelievable, but is it really possible in reality...

actually if you run the gas math on icp's model vs eth mainnet, you're looking at like 10000+ bps delta just sitting there. no cap

Can two ICP contracts handle the entire Ethereum network? That's a bit of a bold claim, haha.

Can two smart contracts handle everything needed for Ethereum? That sounds like a great arbitrage opportunity... The gas fee structure of ICP needs to be studied carefully; I feel like there's something to be mined out of it.

I'm tired of this ICP routine... Can it really be compressed into two contracts? I think it still needs to be implemented to be valid.

ICP is hyped so much, why hasn't it really taken off yet? The idea of two contracts handling things sounds good, but how will it actually be implemented...

This efficiency is really terrible, two contracts to handle the entire Ethereum network? That's a bit exaggerated; we still need to see real benchmark results to judge.

Can these two ICP contracts really withstand the Ethereum ecosystem? I'm a bit skeptical; it sounds a bit exaggerated.

ICP's architecture is indeed excellent. Ethereum's system is a bit bloated, to be honest...
