- CryptoPunk 9y agoA lot of the commenters here don't understand the cryptocurrency market and are vastly overstating Ethereum's flaws. The truth is that the EVM is perfectly secure and the problems with Solidity are due to the fact that any new smart contract development environment was bound to have problems at the initial stages. Solidity is being rapidly improved and there are several other programming languages under development for the EVM as well. As for market significance, Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that's relevant. There are now over a million MetaMask installations that can interact with any Ethereum Dapp, and millions of MEW wallets that can hold ERC20 tokens. Ethereum-based tokens saw their share of the total token market cap grow from 73% to 92% from July 2017 to January 2018. The platform has 30X more developers working on it than the next most active one. That means that almost all of the decentralized exchanges and other value-adding applications are compatible with the ERC20 standard, creating a positive feedback loop of encouraging new projects to build on Ethereum. Ethereum is more likely than not going to be the platform for smart contract development.
