Ethereum memory costs $13,000/MB — monolithic chains can't scale
E04 - Decentralizing the Cloud with Greg Osuri (HackerNoon)
“Ethereum — it costs about $13,000 to get one megabyte of memory… and you look at EOS, which is supposedly the modern Ethereum killer — it costs about twenty-five hundred dollars per megabyte of memory… we’re talking about floppy disks costing $2,500… the problem happens to be they all adopt a monolithic, homogeneous architecture with an assumption that all the applications have the same exact needs.” — 00:07:59
Context: Why existing decentralized platforms couldn’t host real applications; Akash’s answer is decoupling bandwidth, memory, CPU and storage and provisioning them independently. Quote begins at the end of the [00:07:13] block.
