Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Uninterrupted 100% network uptime since its July 2015 launch Nearly $50B in total value locked in October 2026 Hosts approximately $180B of stablecoins on mainnet as of July 2026 Open client ecosystem with no single point of corporate failure	Posts only 4 to 5 bytes on-chain per transaction to Ethereum Stateless model eliminates centralized sequencer censorship risks Account balances remain confidential on local user devices Direct Ethereum consensus reliance avoids separate validator risks
Cons	Base-layer transaction fees spike significantly during periods of heavy congestion Layer-1 execution throughput remains limited to under 30 transactions per second Complex smart contract interactions can become costly during peak network demand	Lacks EVM compatibility for standard decentralized applications Users must manage local client-side state records on their devices Restricted primarily to payments rather than arbitrary smart contracts
Best for	DeFi liquidity providers and traders, Smart contract developers using Solidity, Layer-2 rollup deployment teams	Confidential Ethereum token transfers, High-frequency stablecoin payment merchants, Developers needing minimal on-chain gas footprints
