Avalanche and Polygon are two of the most popular scalable blockchains, and the founders of these two networks are feuding online about Subnet and Supernet.
With the introduction of Supernet, the Polygon network hopes to increase acceptance of its layer two network and the broader blockchain ecosystem. Supernet is a feature that addresses the issues that arise in a blockchain environment.
Supernet aims to make the process of establishing a decentralised and trustworthy validator set easier while removing the technological hurdles that blockchain networks present. The security issue that arises when protocols transition between architectures will also be addressed by Supernet. The Supernet project has been allocated $100 million by Polygon.
The Avalanche network, on the other hand, is concentrating on the introduction of Subnet. Subnet is a sharding-supporting feature that aims to improve the scalability of application-specific blockchains. This initiative has received $290 million in funding from the Avalanche network.
The release of Supernet has terrified the Avalanche team, according to Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal. He continued that Avalanche was “aggressively condescending and continuously attempting to gaslight other communities.”
Nailwal went so far as to suggest that the Avalanche network’s transaction costs had grown unhealthy, and that the network’s mainchain was “a complete disaster.” According to the executive, Avalanche’s subnet is identical to Ethereum layer two sidechains that have been around for years, and that Avalanche lied about its originality.
“You should focus on constructing a chain that doesn’t move backwards every day,” Emin Gun Sirer, the creator of Avalanche, told Nailwal.
The online battle between the two teams has elicited a variety of reactions from the community, with some advocating for professionalism between the two blockchains.
