**1. Architecture**
* EVM chains (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain): Use a traditional Virtual Machine (VM) architecture, where contracts are executed sequentially, and each instruction is executed one by one.
* Solana: Uses a Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus algorithm and a Tendermint-inspired leader-based architecture, which provides sharded and parallelizable execution, resulting in higher throughput.
**2. Smart Contract Ecosystem**
* EVM chains: Supports Solidity (a Turing-complete language), a popular choice for smart contract development.
* Solana: Supports Rust (via Anchor Framework) and C++ (via Solana C SDK) for smart contract development, in addition to other languages like Python and Go.
**3. Scalability**
* EVM chains: Tend to be slower and less scalable due to the sequential execution of contracts.
* Solana: Designed for high throughput (65,000 TPS) and low latency, making it more suitable for decentralized finance (DeFi) and other use cases that require high transaction volumes.
**4. Gas Fees**
* EVM chains: Gas prices can be volatile and expensive, leading to high transaction costs.
* Solana: Uses a payment scheduling system, where transactions are batched and executed in parallel, reducing overall gas costs ( fees are typically 0.00001 SOL, which is a fraction of an EVM transaction).
**5. Interoperability**
* EVM chains: EVM-compatible chains can easily interact with each other using bridges or cross-chain protocols.
* Solana: Solana has a dedicated IBC (Interoperability) framework, allowing for cross-chain interactions with other IBC-enabled chains.
**6. Security**
* EVM chains: Most chains provide built-in security features, such as automatic gas refunds and transaction replay protection.
* Solana: Solana has built-in security features like Pharos, a blob-merkle proof-based Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) solution, which provides stronger security guarantees.
**7. Edge Case Handling**
* EVM chains: EVM chains have specific edge cases, such as unexpected errors, which can be difficult to handle.
* Solana: Solana provides built-in handling for edge cases, such as automatic halting and re-execution when a successful transaction"
