Bitcoin Forum

I've seen that these two smart contracts are often used, and the ETH is widely used more often than WAVES. What is the difference between the two platforms?

Waves is not a smart contract plattform - it is a plattform to issue tokens on a very, very simple way (tokens dont have any functionality).

Waves also has a so called DEX (decentralised exchange), where you can trade the tokens of the waves plattform.

I believe that the ethereum platform with the ERC20 tokens give more credibility to the project

This is certainly sure for the moment, but it is a pity, because waves is a more user friendly interface. The day that waves should add smart contracts features the game could change.

It is more interesting when an ICO is using a Ethereum contract, waves is a very good project, and their dex is very good too, but it is difficult to use it since it is a little big buggy. But i see that a lot of ICO's are using Waves technology to develop their coins, and a lot of them are having success. I think that more people needs to accostumbrate to use Waves, it is a very promising one, and a new way to develop coins.

The ethereum was having the more complex code rather than waves platform, as far as i know a lot of the exchange sites was easily to added the ethereum token rather than the waves assets and that makes the waves just look a crap for me.

Waves is just the opposite to ETH probably. What ETH do is develop Bitcoin scripting, do everything using contracts, it’s very fundamental but makes certain things very complicated. Waves took another road, where things are simpler, very easy to add all functionality you need using plug-ins, don’t have to code complicated contracts. Also waves focus is on mass adoption, specifically target two markets : fiat transfers on blockchain and crowdfunding on blockchain. They are very ripe for disruption, and waves will be offering a product for a very general audience, basically the main end-user client is just a plugin you can install from Chrome.

means the ETH token is more complex than the token of the waves.  :)

---

Some people are more happy to use waves and some are using ETH, but I see many more ETH enthusiasts

---

Like MGO they have a problem on their wallet, which you say is very true

---

But look at waves have no enthusiasts at all, most people prefer to use ETH.
Facts speak

if you look at the battle between the ethereum platform and waves I think the win is ethereum,
why? because the ethereum is in great demand by the masses

I think its not about enthusiasts - its about the project needs.
If you need a complex smart contract, then got to ETH or an other blockchain which is providing it.

Waves is for simple Tokens with no functionality. You need 1 minute to issue your tokens.

eth platform is very better, eth have a bigger communty compared waves

Not necessarily. Do you know that the majority of ICO scams are actually using ERC20 tokens? Did you know that Ethereum is now more popular than Bitcoin as the crypto currency of choice for criminal activities (just behind Monero)?

Of course, this doesn't mean ETH is bad, just as Bitcoin wasn't bad even if terrorists use it, but if you're saying that simply using ERC20 gives the project credibility, I highly doubt it. WAVES has a verified token system that works by some verification of the creators and project. I trust that much more!

I think it's intended purpose is supposed to be making token creation on their chain very easy. I suppose that puts them in direct competition with Ethereum and some of the Eth token ICOs.
However, there's projects like Zrcoin that are both tokens on ETH and on WAVES. So I think the business case is that if you want to create tokens very quickly - use Waves. If you want to do more complex things with the tokens (like using Solidity) - you could later somehow bridge your tokens between both Waves and Ethereum. I think the biggest unseen use case from that might be the commodities market, maybe even product inventories for companies at some stage.

Currently Ether platform is million years better. Waves is just simpler platform. Also they are going to follow ether's road to smart contract (I suppose). Waves is going to be good for sure but Eth is too big already.

They are vastly different from one another, you can't even compare the two. Ethereum aims to be EVERYTHING basically, while Waves is pretty limited as a platform to issue tokens.

There had been a lot of ICOs under WAVES platform already and tokens were released using the mass pay feature of the platform which is why waves can somehow take a huge market, it has its own ecosystem with a whole kid of tokens that will soon also be as big as ETH. Both are all platforms the only difference is that ETH was created the first.

Waves platform is more simple and development is too slow.
In October Waves will lunch Waves Client 1.0 and Waves NG protocol.

Thanks, I guess this is a very good explanation. Waves is indeed easier to use, there're even videos on youtube showing how easy it is to create a token on this platform. And it's written on Java mostly, so that is also an advantage above ethereum. Nevertheless, I believe that waves will never beat eth if both stay alive, because eth is just too popular already and people trust it more.

I don't know. I support both. ETH needs some competition and that is what waves is doing. Maybe its the next ETH ? Will it increase in value like ETH did ? Who knows, but I guess we will find out soon.

Lately there are so many ETH platform based tokens coming out all the time.

Thanks God,
Finally an informed person. !Nice to meet you !

Frankly, this conversation is indecent. Waves is clearly not at the end of his pretensions where Ether shows signs of fatigue.

For me both have their reason to be but the competition with the two will only begin: D Waves is likely to be an all-in-one sad enough for Ethereum. (Which I am always curious to measure integrity)

For me, the ecosystem of Ethereum is clearly better. Many 3.0 crypto companies raise on this currency.

Smart Contract with Smart Token of Bancor are really powerful.
Look the system of Taas for smart contract ,

and many others. REGA sharing Risk also have both soon. (Bancor+Ethereum)

Future for Ether are great, but Waves have a nice way to do when i look on this roadmap.

Answer at Q1 2018.

You cannot compare between Waves and Ethereum, as long as I know it is totally different , the Wave not a smart contract while Ethereum platform with the ERC20 tokens.

There's a lot in the pipeline both for Waves and ETH, Ethereum Metropolis is coming and Waves is getting ready for its next release as well. Cool!

From investment point of view, WAVES is better as the price is far away from the full potential. On the other side, ETH price pick was half a year ago.

From development point of view, ETH is better as have much better adoption and acceptance.

Being written in JAVA might have it's advantages... but definitely not a flat out advantage. I'm interested to know what types of functionality will be added to waves with smart contracts, and how they intend to achieve this. Are the smart contracts on or off chain does any one know?

You can read this to better understand the difference:
https://medium.com/@encryptotel/encryptotel-why-waves-and-why-ethereum-fe3bc7955f1e

Both of them have different advantages but if we talking about smart contract, reilability and power, ETH is definitely better than Waves.
But it is easier and simple to use Waves.
Althought, according to roadmap, Waves going to grow and will have good future.

Ethereum is better. Many ICO had launched on this platform. It's can work well with many transaction.

I somehow share the same sentiment with you. The sad thing is that Etherium is the main actor for now. I remember some other tokens that started off with Waves that shifted eventually to ERC20 tokens.  The support that will come is bigger I think with ETH.

The idea is no. But Ethereum is more focused on Internet projects, and the waves on a real company.

Waves roadmap seem visionary to me.
With that NG protocol it'll be more attractive and the dex with gui.

ETH -> save investment

WAVES -> greater risk than eth but on the ther hand possibly more gains


As an Investor you have to choose.

Waves runs on a JVM but it is written in Go. Anyhow, there is no Waves VS Eth - they are completely different types of platform pitching for very different space in the crypto platform field.
Smart contracts are coming on the Waves platform but, unlike Eth dApps, they are not 100% Turing complete - they are not competing and are aiming at different sectors who have different requirements. In my view Eth and Waves will be the two dominant platforms in the medium term.

Ethereum most often used in the ICO altcoin campaign, every time I check it out in the bounties then Waves few only and sometimes being used  in the Bitcoin campaign.

Adding Waves DEX in TabTrader soon, another great news !

https://twitter.com/tabtraderbtc/status/909326609844490240 (https://twitter.com/tabtraderbtc/status/909326609844490240)

Waves does seem as an entrance-level platform for me, for small projects of founders not really into blockchain staff.
Ethereum is more capable and wide-functional but requires more expertise. It is more useful for big blockchain projects which do not need their blockchain but use other ETH functionality.

This is correct. But the smart contract will be available soon for waves. The big advantage are the low fees for transactions and the speed.

From what I've seen, Waves is trying to be the Jack of all Trades. Have all the features.

Problem is.... "Jack of all trades, master of none."

It's better to specialize. Ether allows for unique, specialized solutions to blockchain problems, Waves does not. With Ether someone can develop a solution and implement immediately. With Waves you're stuck with the Centralized developers deciding if/when they may or may not implement the solution.

Also the DEX is not a DEX. It has a necessarily centralized component to it, the matcher node, blessed by the Devs, normies cannot run matcher nodes. A simple DDOS attack on the central master node and you can take down the whole DEX. Ox protocol is a much, much better and more elegant solution. Brings us back to my previous point. With Ether you can build solutions on top of the chain. With Waves you have to wait for the central planners to decide if a feature is really needed.

i buy and hold both. but i think waves has more potential and will grow. its undervalued.

The speed is only great right now due to low number of users. Even with <100k users the network gets clogged often. Currently it can only process a maximum of 100 transactions per minute.

100 txs/min is slow AF.

I used to think that. Now I think it's overvalued until the upgrades come on board. Also with the implementation of using *any* coin for txn fees, the economic incentive to running a node is greatly diminished. It is not profitable for nodes to run. Hence why you have <100 nodes trying to pretend that they're "decentralized"

<100 nodes run the entire Waves network.

WAVES platform its so simple for make a new name token , market slowly.
ETH Platform its so nice for smartcontract because prosess registration very difficult than WAVES , I have never, maybe not know, the token generated from the successful WAVES smart contract, if ETH is very much.

Waves and Eth platform are good but mostly used is Eth than waves. Eth is very easy to use and to trade with exchange but in waves since new others kinda hard to use their exchange.

I like both, but ETH has made a lot of progress and right now it's $260 with a marketcap of @24 billion. It means that if you want to make your money 2x with ETH, you must wait for it to get to $520, with a marketcap of $48B. Well, good luck with that...

Waves is not as big as ETH yet, but when it becomes big it will give a much better profit.

ETH any day. Waves allows exchange compared to ETH but it's as good as dumping your coins for a price that's equal to NIL and there are so many shortcomings in the Waves platform. One can create any token on waves and then scam users by having similar token names. Sometimes they give an error while creating an order even though one has a waves balance. Their support is more responsive than the ETH platform but I prefer ETH with its simple to use interface. ICOs with waves platform mainly fail (example uooMAG) while ETH ICOs have mainly been successful due to their popularity. Waves is developing slowly but they need to make all their features work well so that people start adopting it on a larger scale.

What I really like is the wallet of waves. It is easy to change currencies and probably to create new ones. I also enjoy the airdrops. But of course, ethereum is more common and the most transactions I do, are done with ethereum.

ETH is taking the cake again this week.

https://www.coindesk.com/raiden-ico-ethereum-scaling-solution-launch-publicly-traded-token/

Even protocol improvements that improve the possibility that Ethereum will ever be used
on a larger scale are taking advantage of the current ICO frenzy in order to dupe investors.

I would be much more confident if people were working on scaling solutions for
technological or ideological reasons instead of the desire for financial gains.

Up to now, ethereum still prove that it is better than waves. And as you can see, ethereum will soon have another hard fork which will make ethereum stronger and better than it is right now. It will be a good chance for ethereum to prove that it can change the payment system and replace VISA in the future

I would say that the ethereum platform has more credibility than waves platform. I like waves as well, but there is probably a bigger community backing and supporting ethereum platform.

Waves maybe at the beginning stage of Ethereum, but at the moment it has not nearly the benefits of Ethereum. Only its price is very good, so that also little projects can be realized.

They are mostly the same, maybe even WAVES is a little bit better. (because fee for registring your coin is lower ) ETH is used more often because it was the first one with such smart contracts idea and it has proven its self in various projects already :)

If you asking me about who's the best between waves and ETH platform, I will definitely say ETH platform

I see that, IOT has a better speed to confirm the transaction, that was why the byzantium upgrade will be implemented to the ethereum. because that needs an upgrade to make the smartcontract can process million transaction in a minute. And the raiden network will be helping it also.

This discussion is actually very interesting, all shades of differences between Ethereum and Waves have been described. But what about other platforms like Stratis? I know very little about Stratis BTW, but how would Stratis fit in this discussion?

I see many start dev ICO and other users use WAVES Platform to receive tokens, for now waves are not as big as ETH for everything such as marketcap, big name, etc. but I can see the potential of this WAVES, but for now I prefer use etherum platform

I just use websites like Etherdelta. That website allows me to trade through the decentralized exchange using that platform. So that is why I would choose Ethereum.

Both waves and ethereum are very good platforms and both of the projects will help you earn good returns.
 In case of ethereum, the returns will come in short time but the profits will not be as high as waves.
Whereas if you can wait, waves will help you earn tremendous profits.

One could find lots of projects functioning on the ethereum Blockchain platform compared to waves. It's all about the iterations and returns were purely on the application base. Here too people fear of scams, because lots of unworthy service oriented assets were generated. This is a downfall to the entire platform on which it functions.

Think Waves as little brother of Eth, both is awesome, however waves is very undervalued at the moment.

indeed waves platform is now again popular,
may be waves can rival ethereum in the future, we'll see later

Waves platform its so simple than ETH,It is smaller than ETH too.Waves is a part of ETH. However between this two ETH has a great demand.

I will not talk about technicalities of both platform. Though the software and the language that support them is the reason for what both waves and ethereum can do. Nonetheless, Ethereum is favour by developer because of versatility why waves have the same potential but it's not there yet.

If you ask me ease of use, I will prefer Eth platform. Also I think there is no control on who can create a token on Waves platform, any scammer can just come and create token with a name almost similar as Real tokens and scam users. Which is a major downside I think.

How could you say waves is part of ethereum. Please don't spill out ignorance if you don't know what you are saying. Rather, you should get understand of both before you start answering uestions or making comment

Waves Platform is still a very young project but they are doing great things and look out for the Waves Next Generation which will be much faster than Ethereum.  Waves is very cheap compared to ETH and will continue to rise in value once releases are out. 

That was not younger to compare with the ethereum. as far as i know the ethereum was having the better code rather than the waves itself, I must say you can see the ethereum smartcontract which at the same time waves doesn't have something like that.

Based on My understanding Ethereum based ICO is more trust able than waves based ICO or smart contracts because in waves any one can create coin using small waves fees the only thing required to marketing coin lots of coins turned out scam . But waves having lots of feature Like we can trade smartcontracts and coins in DEX , also Lease your waves and earn finally you can even create your own coin or token with some clicks.

Ethereum platform as token creation is much more safer and trusted.
But Waves has really great wallet and ui. I think Waves will surpass ether in long range with icos.

Right. I think Ethereum would be greatly benefited by a universal exchange that automatically adds new tokens to it. Something like Waves DEX where you don't need to worry if you'll be able to sell your tokens in the future.

As ETH is older, they was more scams and more stolen funds on the ETH platform.
And yes, Waves is so easy to use, anyone can create a token for a few cents.

When Smart Contracts come on Waves, ETH will only have it popularity left behind.

WAVES is to young to have a battle with ETH.

Waves still undervalued based on its potentiality it’s giving more functionality than ethereum can create smart contract or token can trade in chrome Dex app and also can lease buy waves token not famous ethereum
Value getting huge because of lots of successful ico.

Ethereum is clear winner here. You can do a lot on ethereum platform. Smart contract us one that can not be rival. Waves is good, but it need more development and bug fixes

I think Waves will become a high competitor once people start to adopt it more into there websites/software etc.

WAVES is a game changer. And change already started. Check charts of WAVES and get your cheap coins asap.
Its already cheap and heading to 20$ in short term.

I'm expecting waves!!

The reason for the scams - biggest of which was The DAO - was the way ETH implemented Smart Contracts. Waves is implementing a non Turing complete model. They compliment one another - not compete with each other.

ETH is getting interest from Fintech etc who have the resources to exercise high diligence when using the platform for core tasks. My guess is that many disrupting projects, from both old and new players, will use both platforms for different purposes within the same product.

Oh! And token creation is currently 1W - or >$4. I suspect this will look really cheap in the short to medium term.

My bad, it's indeed 1 Waves to create a token !


It's ongoing ;)
ETH is older, Waves is still young.

The eth platform can be superior because we can withdraw all the coins we have if there is a problematic ethhereum-based market like those in btc-e, whatever the controversy, eth platforms are able to run maximally with high levels of trust. Waves have not been able to outrank them until now , many advantages that can not be accommodated by the waves.

ETH platform wins because of the features.
Waves is not ineffective, definitely succesful but still early for Waves, it should fix something and need some improvements.

of course the etherum platform will look superior because they are already in a good stage, while the waves are still young, and the platform waves still need handling and deeper development of the dev, but I'm sure in the next few years waves platform can talk much, lets wait

What is very interesting with waves is that your wallet can also be where you will trade. Unlike with ETH, you would have to send your tokens to an exchange like bittrex or to liqui which could raise signals to traders that tokens were sent and dumps can happen any moment. But with waves, its where your wallet is and its where you could trade too.

At the moment! All flatform is good!! I like ETH than WAVES! But waves may be best in next month!

It easier to create token on waves to ethereum. But the smart contract of ethereum execute in explainable terms but like magic.. There are many things you could do on Ethereum that will take years for waves to achieve. So far Ethereum is the best for not now.

By the way to all Wavester...
Look like Sasha is going to announce the next big things soon.  ;D

https://twitter.com/sasha35625/status/912208089583161344
3 big things are on the way: Blockchain institute announcement; #ICO self-regulation association; $waves liquidity fund ann. Stay tuned :)

Waves is a DEX (decentralized exchange) and a platform to issue tokens and Ethereum is a smart contract platform with the ERC20 tokens. Many ICO’s now a days using ERC20 tokens that require Ethereum  address to get the coins so it gives much credibility to the project.

Honestly, i think that Waves is useless. and i think that Komodo platform will be better than both of them..
read about komodo platform, u still have time to research and buy cheap

Which distinguishes from both of them only developers. Indeed now, ETH platform more popular because has many facilities that are easy to use at the same time can be utilized entrepreneurs who want to build ICO or other.

Both are good and it's hard to actually make a good comparison because Waves is still way younger than Eth.
I personally think that Waves has a big potential and might overcome Eth in due time

Waves is a Crypto-platform for asset/custom token issuance, transfer and trading on blockchain. WAVES is a blockchain developed specifically for asset holders. The DEX orders are nearly instant and support AnyToken, Wave has very low transaction fees.
Ethereum is a  decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

Hi everyone, what do you think of investing in waves? is it Promising?

Waves are a good and strong competitor to ETH in future. But at present, we are seeing good and fast growth in ETH based projects I hope in future all projects will start using waves platform. Waves are slowly attracting many investors right now all small investors are invested on this coin and waiting for a good time. Even I also invested on this coin.

whenever waves is developed enough including smart contract and a better dex, ethereum will be useless for new icos. Just we need to wait for 1 more year and waves will be #2 volume in cryptomarkets.

I recommend you to check waves and oax. They provides decentralized exchanges and i am sure that decentralized exchanges will be much more popular next year. You can make good profit  :)

I don´t think they are competitors. ethereum is designed for complex applications while waves are thought for simple things. I think there is a market for both.

This two has a difference because Ethereum is well known coin as of now waves is smaller yet simple like the ethereum so basically the cheaper version of it. ethereum is used for big platform while the waves are more common likely to use in smaller platform

I think waves are better than ETH, now they are preparing big projects again to be the best.

these are two good platform. I still like eth than waves but waves have decentralized market. eth have eltherdelta but hard to trade all token

I am not too affected by the difference from both. what I see is the punctuation and how attractive it is to earn a profit. I think both have the same advantages, only eth is more expensive in waves appeal, but the potential waves will develop.

waves platform and etherum platform is good.but i think,etherum platform is better than waves.maximum people use etherum than waves.now waves price is low.etherum price is growing high.so i think etherum platform is good.

both coins are good but more popular ETH.

This one is true, however in my own opinion waves interface is more user friendly compared to ethereum platform. But, both of them are good, each has different characteristics. Some coins are not registered in waves, and some are not open in eth, vice versa. So, just choose which is more convenient for your coins and tokens.

I'm expecting WAVES
I am looking forward one year later

waves and etherum both platform is very good.but etherum platform is better than waves. Now this present etherum use more than waves. because etherum have a good stage. now waves price is low.
don't wary, next few month waves platform can surprise, just wait.

Both are great projects and with no similarity to each others, they are used to different things, ETH is more popular than waves because of adoption and ease of transactions
But waves too is good in that part, waves is not yet complete and will boom later when the plans finished.

good news for those who bet on waves ... keep it that way ...

ethereum platform is worthed than waves

im agree with this opinion...i think Now too many new coins are using ethereum platform. And also the reason I support waves platform more because more airdrop in there haha  ;D

They are both great projects but waves is still at the begging of its own journey. It wouldn’t be fair to compare them now. In a year we will have two great platform instead of one .

vitalisk works more for other projects such as omisego, than ethereum itself. while sasha ivanov works hard for waves platform and it is more innovative.
I think waves will be a  really tough competitor for ethereum soon after smart contracts and new dex is active. it really offers too much things and its pos system is nice (except low fees :)

Waves and ETH are two amazing project.

i would recommande to stack the both

Yes there are good project that is profitable when investing. Ethereum for erc20 token which most use in Ico project, actually eth and waves are having a big difference. But they are profitable coin so invest when you can.

Both of them are good and most crypto users use both platform. They have different features and each would suite each users needs. It's hard to compare both of them because of their different platform. However, I think that waves platform are more user friendly compared to Eth platform which is a little complicated for some users to use.

How does waves compare to bitshares? I guess i should just download waves and see. But it sounds like Waves and bitshares are very similar.  I've used bitshares some, not a huge fan, but it works alright. Are there any real advantages of waves over bitshares besides marketshare?

Just for the public information, Eth didn't launch an ICO in which selling the entire fucking supply for a few satoshis per token and then start a massive

Fake pump to literally trigger a big FOMO, I got a few hundreds myself, guilty as I am, I was under the impression that Waves will clone Eth specially

Smart contracts, stupid as I was just like many others I'm sure of it, there is no future for ICO tokens, what could happen if their team decides to go

Away for a few years without working on project, they wouldn't give back ICO money to investors, but if Eth stops developing people will stop mining

Nothing to lose, they could even use their GPUs to mine something else.

indeed the system given on the platform is almost the same, bitshares also provide exchanger, waves too,
but the difference is waves have smart contract same as ethereum

Ethereum and waves are both good platform, we can earn profit in this altcoin if we have a lot of investment. Otherwise you can't tell which is better if you don't try them both. Therefore base on my experience, ethereum is a potential altcoin. As for now it is one of the most trusted alternative coin in the world of crypto currency society.

I guess this discussion can raise to a higher pace after October 10th when supposedly the new waves DEX will be released and the game could start to change :)

Wave platform is much better in my opinion assimilated to the beginner user.
Ether delta is hard to handle. DAX in the wave wallet is much more welcome.
Entering token contracts via metamask is a hassle.
In the wave wallet  everything is automated.

yes for the contract and platform of waves it is too closely with eth so this is why we can now compare this too but for me they are both good they have difference characteristics i should wait for what waves would be next i think waves have a good future.

Yes. waiting the see best of waves.After October 10th, its development can be improved.But I am not sure. Just only a comment. Otherwise Ethereum is better and so faster. The two are alt coin. Most used alt coin is ethereum.
Waves also used now a days.

yes right they are both good but different characteristic that both usable just what you have told that some coins can access or registered in waves and some are in eth so both are can use in a way where we can use on the other hand on how does waves and eth are moving this is why they can compared interms on their platform.

It's my personal opinion that ethereum platform is best platform  ever no other alternative of its. So ether is mother of all altcoin I believe it. Waves is another best but waves is and ether is ether.  That's it.

It looks like nothing really happened on October 10th, which was a bit of a disappointment. I'm afraid we'll have to patient more.

They are both asset coins, obviously ETH is much older, much wider, and much stable than waves. ETH is the mother of all altcoins. But do not under estimate Waves. They have their own trading platform where you can trade Waves with other currencies, and allows you to buy waves using your creditcard. Many ICOs now are built under Waves blockchain.

Waves makes only small steps compared with Ethereum.90% of the ICOs use Ethereum or Bitcoin and only a small potion of them use Waves or other platforms.

ethereum more popular than waves many ICOs using ethereum smart contract.
I see some ICOs who used waves platform before and then switch to ethereum platform.

actually the same. both have almost the same technology, it's just eth more lucky because more in use today. so i figured eth would always be on top of waves. just my opinion.

Eth is an old coin, but despite this, is the less user friendly platform under every aspect.

In waves, you can trade your tokens inside of it while the eth platform you have to send your tokens in exchange site. In other word, eth platform was created to store your tokens and leave it. But I will prefer to use waves platfrom than eth platfform because of the security reasons but it is hard to track of your exchanges and less traders.

Communities in WAVES are not as many as the ETH community. they both have the same functionality but rarely an altcoin or token project uses Waves, because development is very slow, the exchange for new tokens is only on one exchange, so for the progress of WAVES and ETH the community is what makes them both able to grow.

How to transfer? I did not know any project used Waves platform has transfered to Ethereum chain after completed crowdsale, because the target is develop under Waves platform, therefore those projects can not change roadmap easy as your said.

tend to eth more often used people. that's what makes eth flourishing good to date. i do not really know with waves, waves are not too much involved with ico.

The old dex didn't really do too well with the people that were holding Waves. The new one might not make that much of a difference either.

Well i dont use a lot eth at all, it does confuses me, but as i know both does allow to create tokens, one with smart contracts and the other not, but its coming, for me waves has an advantage with  the DEX, decentralized exchange, where the fees will go to the pot to be shared with all holders, i dont see any other coin returning more coins to you from the transactions.

I wonder when the new DEX will be ready though - it has already been postponed several times it seems.

I think Waves has alot to do in the market, well given ETHEREUM has a smart contracts but soon Waves platform will release their own smart contracts 2.0 by Early 2018. Waves transactions is much better than Ethereum. and its easier to use

How many ICOs have been done under Waves platform? I know there was 1 ICO. Is Waves inflationary coin like ETH?

Eth has a massive demand than Waves. If you have tokens you can sold it to eth, once you've had an eth you can convert it to btc and then to USD. I don't know the transaction of waves, since I don't have waves, and I know I am being bias :)

As you say, waves are not so much in demand so their daily usage is very small because the platform is already badly defeated from ethereum.

For icos; Ethereum has the most popular blockchain technology for today. Waves platform will be the most innovative, userfriendly and popular platform for icos after 2018. Ethereum is already developed, waves is still under development.

Both platforms are strong, they solve individual problems, and comparing these two platforms is a difficult task, they need to be compared not in whole, but in separate directions.

two completely different platforms, cant compare them.

I am not able to count them, but there have been many. However, they usually would raise less money on average versus ICOs on Ethereum. This is in itself quite silly.

Ethereum is well established and has a progressive development team. They allow for mass adoption and make it very easy too.

Waves however, is still developing. Might have to wait and see what else they can contribute in the future.

Waves is not a smart contract only ethereum i think. Also, we do hear some about waves but not frequently as ethereum. Ethereum is better than waves in so many ways.

Waves younger than Etehreum with different approaches. And things can't be done in a night. Also Ethereum also so young to get some conclusions if they are succeed or not.

"Most of the investors and the participants of Bounty campaign prefer to invest in tokens based on ETHEREUM, rather than WAVES"

On Waves you have more currencies and lite platform to create tokens.But trust more to Ethereum

Is'nt Omni Platform more popular than Waves ?

And there is also NXT :)

If they propose me to choose from these projects, then I will choose the eth. This project is much more reliable than WAVES. Now WAVES are losing popularity, but I hope that the creators of the project will be able to keep their project afloat

WAVES is easier to use than ethereum, but the price of waves never seems to rise despite a lot of great news being released about it. My guess is whale manipulation as waves has been undervalued for a long time and drops everytime it reaches $5.

Waves may be easier to use but ETH just has more developers trained to use it, and there are more resources on how to use it. For example, anyone can launch an ERC20 token now and that is the prime reason ETH is so popular (ICOs). But Waves in that sense is not abused to the point of ETH, and have very, very slow growth partly because they also have no advocates in the big scenes like ETH does.

I do not really believe Whales are responsible for Waves price never going above $5. I think it is just a slow, organic growth coin.

Since we do compare ETH and WAVES on here then i would say ETH is much really better than on waves which we did able to see on its value which they do really differ because people do see on the usage of smart contracts of eth which is really contributing into crypto world and in real life usage.I dont have too much knowledge into Waves but if lightning network would able to be implemented then it might be considered to progress but for now waves would really still remain into its place.

Some(zrcoin, mobilego, primalbase, starta, encryptotel...) . Not just 1   :D
No it is not.

Yes, It's a long time waves price is stable despite of developments and great news and announcements. I think it is really undervalued is it is ready for a big pump.

Yeah.Waves tokens are mostly created by etherdelta scammers to give similar coin on er20. So be very careful when your are on etherdelta. Waves plus its exchange capability is this best thing to happen to a coin

I think that one and the other platform has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, a wave platform is better protected, but fewer coins, and therefore, fewer opportunities to find a successful deal.

ETH is much stronger than WAVES. And it depends not only on popularity. It seems to me that WAVE is already a dying project. And I think that it will no longer develop

eth focus on smart contracts, waves focus on decentralized exchange more.
right now the situation is that but next year it will be different story. eth will switch to pos, waves will start smart contracts.

Waves doesn't do smart contracts.

That's true. But in the future that's their plan. When they implement smart contracts we can compare that feature easily I guess.

eth platform is really good and more used by many people to doing ico. doesnt means waves is a bad platform. waves just seems not really used by many people. but i think soon eaves will ne use by many people cause eth is too expensive and it takes so much money to do one transaction only.

I'm for an ethereum)

They have a plan to do that in the future. The problem with waves is they try to do too many things so it slows down the development. They should finish the dex first and do some marketing to attract volume to their dex before going for other objectives.

seems you know a lot about waves,,
i like waves and dex as decentralized exchange in wavesplatform,, and i think the dex already done and good interface now,,

because eth 1 step forward than waves , but waves will have potential for growth like eth.
a lot community support eth smart contract for starting ICO , and other token creation , a lot exchangers have a big volume when their token based on ethereum contract.
this just my opinion sir.

The waves platform has a plan to make NG to fixed the scalability problem in waves, sasha claimed that will be processing million transaction just in a second. but i still doubt about that, even the dex was not running properly

Its all moving too slow and they will get beat by other coins if they wont speed up the process. I think they missed their window to get mass adoption.

In my opinion, the Ethereum platform is more mature than Wave Dex. They are used by popular ICO and it is very easy especially with myetherwallet. Personally I prefer the Ethereum platform on Wave because Ethereum is like a supercomputer, it can do everything with a smart contract unlike Wave and Ethereum also have more dev/better community and fast development. I have a very bad experience investing in Wave ICO because the price is under the price of ICO for so long but now it's better but I just feel bad for the people who dump their Wave.

I think both projects are very good. I don't even know who beat whom in the future. Sasha Ivanov said that the waves will pull 90% of the functionality of ethereum. BUT they don't want to be a substitute for ethereum, they want to exceed them. If I ask you who better to invest in Waves or ETH I say invest in waves it is much easier now to make a couple of x's than eth. even if eth is now better waves

My guess is that the Eth ERC20 platform allows for more functionality and is more prevalent, but the waves platform is easier to work with for newbies. This of course may change some in the future..

Waves platform is full of garbage coins, because you can easily make a coin under waves platform and that is the reason why the waves can become a bad coin because the users of waves can just spam the platform of waves to just keep making coins. So i choose ethereum platform because it has a very great platform.

Waves has a very promising platform. It gives one the opportunity to launch your own cryptocurrency in a simpler manner. Erc20 on the other hand is a stable platform under ethereum. It is standardized in a manner that it is built on contracts. Most of the icos run under this platform.

They are not even comparable, but you can build something very similar to Waves network on the Ethereum platform if you want.

Eth is best not because it is famous but because it has a lot of functions for the developers and for the project developers. The developers of ethereum are working to make it more better while waves tokens are simplest and it do not get any further progress in the development and do not have much features like ethereum token that is why ethereum is taking the place.

when waves-ng will be active we should talk about this again. waves is not a cheap version of ethereum. it's better version but developer sasha ivanov is too lazy to upgrade the client.

I personally haven't tried waves platform and I have have heard it has also it's own tokens but I think and it remains my own opinion that ethereum is much better and much reliable,

People trust Ethereum more. Waves does not have a smart contract platform. I think it's a completely novice structure. But Ethereum certainly has a much better structure.

I think the best difference between the two platforms is the decentralized exchange that the waves platform has, other than that the ethereum platform is better in price, has a larger community and would be the most likely preferred choice of investment for many investors.

The recent network congestions on the ETH PLATFORM makes waves in this category better.

I don't really see them as in competition and against one another. I think waves is just an alternative to eth and it is always good to have freedom of choice. It is also good to know waves is backed by its own wallet and exchange. The advantage waves has is that it has a built in market.

Recently I bought tokens by 10. I know that the project is a worker and has not yet managed to take off. Buy it. In the spring they will be 30.

Unfortunately, all the tokens produced by WAVES are scams. Had dealt with them - they show only one loss. ETH is more good platform for invest.

I know that Waves has own blockchain, Waves Platform is really good.
ETH needs some competition and that is what waves is doing. its my opinion.
Otherwise Ethereum is better and so faster. but Waves is new project. it will grow fast, thanks.

Waves is way to simple. If you are going to be asking for serious capital to run a project, you will need more credible platform that can give credibility to you project. If any anybody can type billion of token into existence, then where is the credibility!

ETH platform just to be wallet , waves platform useful like wallet and exchanges and can get airdrop if we hold waves

Ethereum has a much more ambitious project, i don't think both coins can even be compared right now... I think waves will still have a healthy niche market for fast and simple coin creation, but nothing beyond that.

ETH is more than just a platform,most of the new alts and existing alts are based in eth's platform,waves has good platform but its not that good as ethereum's.

Good information because i just think that waves and etherium just smart contract platform.
However i like those two platform. 1 thing that i dont underatand why wavea price moves very slow? It should be similar with etherium.

Waves not is allegedly much faster that Ethereum, but has not the same smart contract features. For the moment Ethereum wins.

ETH platform is the widely using platform since its safe and reliable with the ERC20 tokens. Waves platform is just simpler and smaller project.

Waves has already more transaction capasity then Ethererum. And noew they'r developing smart contract, sounds promising  :D

I think I would choose etherum over waves based on support alone. Plenty of ICOs support the ethereum over waves. This would be easier to trade in the market.

For now yes you are right. But we're also seeing some ICOs on Waves too. And I think we'll see more in the near future with reasing of Tokenomica.
It can change standarts.

These two platforms have many points of contact. They have a developed scripting language but the Wave is not a platform for smart contracts.

Eth trumps all...  Waves is basically for smaller projects😎

Waves platform issues tokens, while Ethereum is the smart contracts platform. ETH has more chances to become the best cryptocurrency and maybe even beat Bitcoin in several years. I do not ыee Waves can be its rival.

Hoever, you can watch this about Waves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_aRNHIgXlM

I would prefer Ethereum over waves as waves do not have that big a market capitalization nor does it have that big a circulation supply which means that its network in the blockchain environment is not spread out as waves. As the cryptocurrencies with huge networks are able to survive in the cryptocurrency environment, it is only logical to assume waves won't.

I think all both is not good in the future. What do you think when smart constract will show in SHA256, not ETH tenology? :3

waves come from ethereum, its like ethereum project thats it, waves is a decentralized exchanged built on the Waves blockchain.

Eth has a very complex and functional platform, with smart contract you can do everything.
Waves is a easier plattform. Tokens based in Waves don't have their own functionality.

Waves also has a decentralised exchange  where you can trade the tokens directly on the platform.

The Ethereum started much earlier than the Waves. It seems to me that the Ethereum potential is higher than the potential of the waves. The Waves need to do a lot of work to start competing with the Ethereum.

Both have different focuses. And their targets as community also different. Decentralized exchange is just one of the feature of Waves Platform.

Without going into too detailed analysis in my opinion at the moment there is no comparison between ETH and Waves. Ethereum is a colossus, a very solid project with enormous potential; Waves, on the other hand, is a good project but one that has yet to demonstrate much

The debate can be easily ended by just looking at the number of successful ICOs which have used the ETH platform, the numbers are alarmingly huge. For me I think Waves serves more for "visibility", after the token has been created.

One Can Create any token on waves and then scam users by having similar token Names. sometimes they give an error while creating an order even though one has a waves Balance. some coins are not registered in Waves, And some are not open in Eth, vice versa. It's hard to compare both of them because of their different Platform. it is only logical to Assume,

The risk that will be encountered when participating in Waves ICO is the Waves platform script is not original. This is because, one of the superior features in Waves called "Colored Coins" is copy and paste from the NXT blockchain platform.
And the site's ICO Waves Platform securities are pretty ugly.

but there is one feature of the function that special is Waves will support the exchange of world currencies such as Dollar, Euro, Pounds Sterling, Yen, etc. then backed by financial institutions that are subject to the provisions of KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti Money Laundering). Something special like this can not be found in any cryptocurrency.
And so far the founders of waves no negative issue issues as long as they work and contribute.
But to just see how the potential waves ico the future, there is no harm in investing a bit your eth to waves who knows it pump, see the price of crypto that tend to fluctuate.

■ It has more features -             ETH > WAVES
■ it has the most community -    ETH > WAVES
■ Popularity -                            ETH > WAVES
■ More blockchain transactions - ETH > WAVES
■ Registered assets -                 ETH > WAVES
■ Best Altcoin ever -                  ETH > WAVES
■ Used by beginners -                ETH > WAVES

For me I don't need to actually get to the point of comparing the two. What concerns me most is the idea of how this two might just serve as. Functionality is what matters most for me. If waves can provide a good service then it can certainly be made known. But as for now I'd like to settle to Ethereum since it had created a name for itself, has a good sevice and I am waiting for waves to do just the same.

Waves have too much spam coin and its easy to create a token anyone can do it just by clicking a button, ETH on the other hand need a bit of technical skill to create your own token and of course its value and use case.

The difference from its project, the Ethereum Platform is earlier than the Platform Waves, and I see more fans to the Ethereum Platform compared to Platform Waves. And different from this platform on the ICO project, most ICO using Ethereum Platform in use it, and its potential is very high then it is more recommended for Ethereum :) Thanks

i think because ethereum have some advantage compare with waves platform and thats why developer more to use ethereum rather than waves platform

But unfortunately we don't know if waves can really be like ethereum as I don't see any innovation in waves platform. And the fact that investors are staying away their selves in waves because mostly of the coins based on waves are just end up shitcoin and nobody in the right mind will put their money to that. I bet NEO can at least be next to ethereum but not waves, it's hopeless.

Yes i am also being introduce with waves on a certain project which conducting airdrop that are using waves wallet. Meaning waves platform was being use to utilize on their tokens. However, if you are going to compare between these two platforms i guess i prefer on Ethereum since most of the tokens are ethereum platform base and since most of the tokens are ethereum base so it is more comfortable to use when doing some trade in other crypto ether platfrom tokens to ether platforms tokens compatibility.

according to me, in terms of different technologies. The technology used in waves, more simple than ethereum. Although waves have a more limited range. Many ICO projects use both of these platforms. both waves and ethereum, have their respective advantages.

In my opinion, I do not really see them in competition and against each other. I think waves are just an alternative to Eth and it's always good to have freedom of choice. And the Ethereum platform is better priced, has a larger community and will be the most preferred investment choice for many investors.

Currently, many projects are running ICO on Etherium platform! Wave platform is not much community interest! But in my opinion, investment in Wave will be good in the future! Because Etherium is leveling off. Good opportunity for Wave!

There is nothing to be proud of waves platform all project using thier platform failed. we cannot expect more about this project and also other coin that use waves switch to eth so i do not reasons why comparing them.

For me, the Ether platform looks more reliable. Rather, even because it is more and more often used in the melon moment. Perhaps soon the situation may change, but the NEO platform also deserves attention, it is generally not mentioned, although it is technologically not inferior, neither to the ether, nor to the waves.

The two are the platform of cryptocurrency that has some differences. Waves is a ready-custom platform for the token. It has advantages: Straightforward operation of the token, fats transaction, Instant access, and others. Then, the ETH, it is a very popular crypto platform where many projects use this. It also has advantages: trusted smart contracts,  expertise experience, leading profile, and more valuable. The two have their advantages and to decide which one is better, it depends on you. I myself prefer to use ETH.

Waves must run their own smartcontracts soon and, maybe this, moves will attracts a new users to their platform. But mainstream blockchain for now is still Ethereum and it's very hard for anyone blockchain platform compete with it.

 i see that a lot of ICO's are using Waves technology to develop their coins, and a lot of them are having success. I think that more people needs to accostumbrate to use Waves, it is a very promising one, and a new way to develop coins.

The sure winner is Ethereum. Waves Platform maybe simple and cheap but it is already proven that Ethereum platform is more trusted by the community and even the developers that use smart contract and DAPP.

waves platform and eth platform is now still one of the platforms in cryptocurrency that is needed. but waves still can not follow the footsteps of the more widely used eth platform to support ico. so I think the comparison of both is still superior to eth rather than waves.

I think all both is not good in the future. What do you think when smart constract will show in SHA256, not ETH tenology? :3

the platelet waves you need to convert, the ethereum platform can first be in the market where the price is equal and can change the difference between the etherereum and the wave platform

How many ICOs have been done under Waves platform? I know there was 1 ICO. Is Waves inflationary coin like ETH?

My position  regarding this chain it s that many times becomes the place selected by quite many problematic token offerings by reason of the economical token issuance.

I think wave platform has it own advantages also. Just that as a people once we get use to a particular thing we tend to wave aside other similar things. The truth though is that many ICO team and manager prefer Ethereum platform. Since I became a member of this forum, I have only used wave platform for bounty once. That makes it look as if wave is not as good as ethereum.

ETH platform is stronger I consider, but Waves platform is promising as well. I hope Waves will reach ETH's succes in the future while ETH has a pause.

waves platform I think less of my own interest, became more interested in the ethereum platform because a lot of project ico also use this platform. I think the growth of the ethereum platform is also faster than there are platform waves. but the waves are also great, unfortunately a lot of the new project does not use and trust the platform.

Waves looks/looked good but doesn't seem to of gained anywhere near the adoption that ETH has.

The two stages are solid, they take care of individual issues, and looking at these two stages is a troublesome assignment, they should be thought about not in entire, but rather in discrete headings.

Waves like a cryptocurrency is going up now and there are not any predictable problems to stop its rising. ETH is going up too and its more reliable from my point of view.

Going up? How? As development, you're right but things are changing so fast, so better be fast.

Waves is a bullshit, don't rely on them. At the beginning they performed well, but I haven't seen development and any progress for ages. Do youknow any legit ICO running on their platform? i know only useless shitcoins. Forget about waves.

Waves entered the market quickly. However, the expected explosion did not occur. I think Waves can be a little more useful if DEX is developed.

I won't discuss details of both stage. In spite of the fact that the product and the dialect that help them is the purpose behind what the two waves and ethereum can do. Regardless, Ethereum is support by engineer due to flexibility why waves have a similar potential however it's not there yet.

Waves ought to recognize hastily that this currency's fate asks for a betterment of the strategy on long term technology efficacy. The issue is that the team seems to have left the project unfinished and nobody shows real interest on it.

If you compare the foundation of the ETH and the background of the Waves
I will lean towards the foundation of ETH
The reason is that ETH's blockchain technology platform will definitely outperform.

Not just foundation but technological advancement too, Waves has been somewhat stagnant in terms of Improvement and seem more of an abandoned project.
I remember vividly, as a newbie I could barely do anything on Waves even its DEX was and still is not easy to use.

I heard from the experts, the platform that comes from WAVES has the potential of being quite interesting in developing its technology. Prospects in the future from WAVES are also pretty good. In the long term, this investment will be very profitable. However, ETH is much more interesting for the results that can be derived from the current investments. Because the ETH has held a lot of trusts, so it can be easier and faster in making a profit.

The Waves project can not be called a half-value, as they are still working on smart contracts, but this does not prevent them from having a decentralized exchange. This is wonderful, but still ETH has more advantages.

Agreed. Ethereum as if for a long time in this topic revolves and overcame many difficulties that wave is still worth meeting. So in the future they may become competitors, but it is not exactly and not soon.

Many ico project using erc20 smart contract..eth platform very popular for ico project i think..we know many platform at cryptocoin world..but for primary we know always using eth platform..i think eth platform have smart contract that very good better than other platform like neo stellar or waves

Of course the ETH Platform is superior to the Waves Platform. After Bitcoin left a lot of coins, ETH continued the role of Bitcoin. ETH is growing very fast and the popularity of ETH is close to Bitcoin. All tokens refer to ETH. From there I came to the conclusion that the ETH is better than Waves.

I admit that I don't understand Waves, and I often hear when there are ICOs from the Waves Platform that always fail to meet market demands.

but with Ethereum there are many successful ICOs and big tokens that are on the market, so I will continue to choose Ethereum as my basis for trading cryptocurrency.

I think the difference with the two Eth and Waves are only in  speed or the TPS regarding its function I think its desame.

waves are faster and cheaper in terms of transfer rate.
They are both worth to hold.
both of them have their own platform which is similar to each other.
who will be better in the future?

i think although because of that, Waves can't be favourite of user and token that created by Waves platform not successful in market. i don't know why because i don't what is the reason. but it always happen

WAVES is simpler to use than ethereum, however the cost of waves never appears ascend regardless of a considerable measure of awesome news being discharged about it. My figure is whale control as waves has been underestimated for quite a while and drops everytime it comes to $5.

WAVES is not a competitor to ETH. I think that ETH has achieved great success and a higher level of development. WAVES will never catch up with ETH.

You really think that WAVES platform is much easier to use than ETH? IMO, I don't feel the same :). I think ETH is much easier to use than WAVES. LOL. I don't even know how to add new token on WAVES wallet and how to use it but ETH wallet is different, it's really easy to use, easy to create new wallet and beside ETH is the best altcoin so I think no need to compare between WAVES and ETH anymore :).

It is all personal experience but IMO Waves wallet is one of the best in the market by usability and functionality.
p.s. You don't need to add token on Waves wallet, it shows up automatically.

I don't generally consider them to be in rivalry and against each other. I think waves is only an other option to eth and it is constantly great to have opportunity of decision. It is likewise great to know waves is supported by its own particular wallet and trade. The favorable position waves has is that it has a worked in advertise.

Waves and ETH are indeed a platform favored by ICOs. As time goes on, time proves that ETH has a much faster development compared to Waves. That's because one of the capabilities of the ETH is able to significantly improve its development. Waves and ETH both have good potential to continue to be developed, so that it can be a good alternative for the future of the ICO.

Yes, I agree with your words because waves is not a competitor for ethereum,
if we compare it between the two, of course ethereum is far superior,
the most important thing is to follow the development so that it is clearer

Waves seems to be a very good platform, and the altcoin is promising. I think it will be gaining. nevertheless, I am a fan of Ethereum. Although the altcoin is down now, I believe that it will gain in several months.

Waves platform is cool but it's quite buggy the Ethereum platform on the other end has diverse functionality apart from recent clogs ethereum seems like the most preferred

Eth has a monstrous request than Waves. On the off chance that you have tokens you can sold it to eth, once you've had an eth you can change over it to btc and afterward to USD. I don't have the foggiest idea about the exchange of waves, since I don't have waves, and I know I am being predisposition Smiley

ETH and WAVES are better but my ETH better than that because it is width and carry multiple profit for me  ;D

Eth platform is really good and more used by many people to doing ico. doesnt means waves is a bad platform. waves just seems not really used by many people. but i think soon eaves will ne use by many people cause eth is too expensive and it takes so much money to do one transaction only.

I would lean toward Ethereum over waves as waves don't have that huge a market capitalization nor does it have that huge a course supply which implies that its system in the blockchain condition isn't spread out as waves. As the digital forms of money with tremendous systems can get by in the cryptographic money condition, it is just consistent to accept waves won't.

for speed I chose waves, but for uses many ethereum maybe this is what made him famous and until now many have used it. both become the strongest and interesting to learn.

I see that ethereum has better prospects and a platform that is more interesting and easier to adopt than waves, but lately ethereum has had a few difficulties that must be resolved soon.

I would incline toward Ethereum over waves as waves don't have that enormous a market capitalization nor does it have that huge a course supply which implies that its system in the blockchain condition isn't spread out as waves. As the cryptographic forms of money with enormous systems can make due in the digital currency condition, it is just consistent to accept waves won't.

Many people understand that projects like ETH and Waves can not be adequately compared, because these are projects that have nothing in common yet, today ETH has smart contracts, this is probably the most valuable thing that ETH has today, and the Waves project has nothing like it.

Ethereum vs Waves is very interesting topics upon reading some responses from members I learned a lot of information regarding the two blockchains so I decided to do some research and found out some of the differences between the two:


Ethereum & Waves Platform are both an open-source blockchain platform. So, Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality while the Waves Platform is an open-source blockchain platform, which is designed for ease of use and mass adoption.

Both blockchain platforms allow users to launch their own cryptocurrency tokens, Ethereum allows users to create new tokens on the platform using a smart contract, start-up companies can choose where to develop their ICO's or own cryptocurrency platform based on their budget.

Here's my tip based on my research:

Waves platform is advice if you want to start with a low budget for your project because it is cheaper compared to Ethereum. I have some more exciting information to share in the future about Waves platform let's see in the coming days maybe could create a new thread about my research and observation regarding this Ethereum contender blockchain.

The difference is that Ethereum is in great demand by many people and is always used in ICOs.
If Waves is lacking, the ICO always fails to register on the Exchange.

Both of these platforms are quite good, but the ethereum platform is preferred by ICO at this time. Platform waves still need time to be able to provide improvements and make many ICOs be more trusted. Please note that each platform has advantages and disadvantages. So it needs better research.

The Ethereum started much earlier than the Waves. It seems to me that the Ethereum potential is higher than the potential of the waves. The Waves need to do a lot of work to start competing with the Ethereum.

To tell the truth he is not strongly familiar with the WAVES platform and the principle of its work. But ETH seems differs from it in existence of smart contracts.
If to choose from these two, then I think nevertheless better than ETH. But it concedes if to compare it to others.

Waves is good platform with smart contract. I think its good coin and have potential in the future. To compete with ethereum, i think waves need more time because ethereum blockchain used by most token in market

Waves just is not getting that much hype within crypto anymore. Newbies should invest in Ethereum.

Eth platform is more widely used interms of icos rather than waves one, often see ico on wave platform but not much

I would be really happy if there were more ico and bounties on the waves platform. I find both platforms are very good and it is a pity that waves are not used as often as ethereum for an ico. Hopefully this will even out in the future and we see more ico on waves platform than at present.

Confident in the success of the waves, they have not yet fully revealed. Moreover, we expect many more ico, which will use it.

So far waves do not meet up to expectations. The team had far-reaching plans, but something got stuck and the platform did not develop as well. Eth has a better position on the market, therefore more ICO is based on this currency.

waves? i will still choose ETHEREUM.
though between the two i will choose both in having the profit
yeah those two will bring us the profit of a lifetime.!

There is a small sense to compare these platforms, because waves has just launched smart contracts and there is a poor use case history, at the same time ethereum is a leader in this sphere.

The famous one of course the ETH platform and you can see the demand when using them. and about the waves platform when some coin want to launch at their platform, they will airdrop some token to the waves hodler.

I prefer the ETH Platform and I believe it is more advance than the Wave's counterpart because of its functional smart contracts. Although the Waves platform is also not bad and as such shouldn't be underestimated, and with a lot of controversial news surrounding the ETH Platform currently, Waves Platform might begin to have projects migrating to it considering that it is also cheaper than the ethereum platform.

Ethereum platform is far better than waves platforms. Ethereum has been the leader laying foundation for smart contracts. Waves platform is full of scammy projects built on it. Recently waves launched smart contract on its blockchain. Im not even sure waves can stand the competition of other blockchain infrastructures talkless of eth

waves platform has a really markettıng sıtuatıon, theır markettıng team seems lıke full of 5 years old chılds, they dont know anythıng about markettıng, they know markettıng means aırdrop, ı dont know how waves wıll survıve they thınk they know best but so far we seen they dont know anythıng about markettıng, theır developers are the best btw

It is very obvious that waves never grow up due to luck adoption in the market compared to ERC20 platform(ETH). Maybe in some reasons and possibly due to the person behind it development that wouldn't be attractive to the eyes of the investors or its compatibility on the market platform.

Although I think the Waves platform is better in terms of ease of use and technologically better, I have many doubts as to whether its future will be as bright as Ethereum. There are so many investors who spoke positively to Waves, who had suffered a serious loss of value, especially after Ethereum, which was successful in the end of last year. But, as I said, the hope of a few investors does not show that this technology will advance as much as Ethereum technology in the following years.

This two can still be develop as time passed by, the two were cheaper than before and can be a good start for trading. We might not see their growth now but maybe in the future.

Recently, Waves began to work on their project very actively, because they started working on smart contracts, so I hope that in general there will be a very good situation with this project if a new wave of trend and interest in cryptocurrency begins

There are too many scam coins made on Waves platform because its cheap to make it on this platform. It doesn't mean the Waves is bad, but the fact is fact.

If you ask for my opinion I will say that waves platform has been a total disappointment, traders over there just price token down, won't really blame them cus 95% of the tokens are of no use and worthless, I really think the platform needs a lot of work to be done there, as for me I don't have any business with the waves platform.

Of course, in such a comparison, it seems to me that the ETH project definitely wins because this project today is very fast and works without errors, because this project has been working for a very long time because today it is probably the most used project in cryptocurrencies.

Many ICOs are using Wave platform for their campaign already. I think WAVE has what it takes to be huge and better than Ethereum platform but the only thing that Ethereum is enjoying is that it was first created before Wave and it's not easy for people to switch over.

If you want to know details about the difference between Ethereum and Waves it's better to read the Whitepaper of both platforms. I prefer Ethereum, of course.

The infrastructure of the Waves platform is very robust. Network is too fast. But it has a very reliable structure! The team is very slow. Sahsa bey is a very slow person. It's so slow that they do things in 6 months, but they do it in six months. Smart contract hasn't done it yet. When will this be added?

Ethereum still the best Platform for make smart contract and decentralized trading platform with Ethereum Blockchain, different with Waves Blockchain Platform

The use of Ethereum's smart contract was easier than using smart contract waves. In addition, Tokens are more successful in sales that use the ETH smart contract services compared to Waves. World investors prioritize ETH and Bitcoin compared to others.

I understand the Ethereum platform better than I understand the waves platform, also the Ethereum platform is mobile friendly but the waves is not, when I open the waves platform with my android phone, I find it difficult to arrange some of the things.

I will not tell you for a long time why I am choosing in favor of the ETH project, everything is very simple, because I see how people relate to the Waves project and how people relate to the ETH project, everything is very sad.

The waves are very well off and I even believe that it will turn out, but unfortunately the situation with waves is not very good..the purse comes lots of spam, no trading volume( common in waves with ETH only what you can very simply create a contract and start your coin

You can certainly look at some of the nuances and possibilities of one or another project, but you still need to really look at the serving situation on the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum leads in all directions, including economic and in practical demand.

Waves is also good. However, people know that Ethereum is one of the main two cryptocurrencies. They prefer to work with ETH. Choosing this altcoin they are sure - it can be used  for ICOs and Smart contracts.

Am still trying to understand the features of the Waves platform. I rarely trade there. Ethereum platform is still better for me though I have assets still stored in Waves platform.

There are vast differences, waves for example does not have smart contracts and it is only recently that they delevoped their Decentralised exchange for waves based tokens although it is not too popular because the tokens in the waves platform are not really known for their value.
While Ethereum is more mainstream, infact they invented the smart contract technology and the tokens in a Blockchain.

I prefer the ethereum platform because eth is more popular than Waves. and I think Waves is less popular among blockchain project developers. so the price of waves has not increased

I think that it is difficult to compare Waves and Ethereum. There are a number of serious differences between these cryptocurrencies. I think that Ethereum is much better than Waves. I would not risk investing in Waves.

It seems to me that the time will come and the waves will definitely show what they are capable of, because it seems to me that this is quite a promising platform!

These two platforms are essential the same but different in there approach to what they achieving.  Ethereum is a smart contract based altcoin so is waves,  but there program differs from each other so also is the ease of use!

both platforms between ethereum or waves are actually good, but for waves still inferior to ethereum because waves lack significant development. ethereum is now the king of the platform because ethereum supports a lot of ico and it can be used as one to be sure if ethereum is better than waves.

I think Waves platform now is not good anymore, unlike before waves for me was a very good altcoins. But look what happened now to its value it was totally dumped where it came back again each price way back 2016 if I am not mistaken. However, it is still good to invest on ethereum now especially now its price was getting recovering little by little though it is still not in good shape in terms its value.

Ethereum has a huge developers support and the first mover advantage that's why ethereum beats waves even if it's more rapid and scalable for global uses good luck i personally hold both :)

Yes. Actually, it depends on the coin developer to choose to use a smart contract. If speaking well, all is good, the proof is that all the coins have been successful and able to maintain the exchange rate. But fee transactions are also a major consideration for token developers.

It is easy to know why this is the case, most developers create their coins on the ethereum network because they know the majority of users have an ethereum address and do not have a waves address, if they created their coin above that network their coin will not be as popular as it could be, and since many developers are looking to beat other coins and to be more popular than them they are forced to choose ethereum.

To me you can't actually compare Waves platform Vs Ethereum platform, its like comparing David and Goliath. I have a wave wallet I hardly ever use but with Eth, am always on the go with. But it wouldn't be bad if most ICO can incorporate Waves

If anyone doesnt know: waves gonna be delisted from cryptopia, or they have been delisted already. Also, Liqui delisted it. I dont think it`s a good sign:)

maybe the difference is the cost and speed of the transaction, but in my opinion why the ETH platform is often used is possible because the ETH platform first appears compared to the waves platform, so everyone is more accustomed to using ETH platforms than the waves platform.

Actually, being on Binance, Bithumb, Tidex, Bittrex, Exmo, Huobi, Tidex, Upbit, OkEX etc, etc - Waves didn't care about being on Cryptopia or Poloniex since 2 years ago. Pathetic FUD attempt.

Waves is up 25% in last 24 hours. How is ETH doing?

More lazy FUD.

Waves Platform has smart contracts.

Waves has had one of the biggest DEXs for YEARS. If you bother to look at the Waves DEX markets you will see that there isn't a huge abitrage margin on the big coins compared with bricks and mortar exchanges.

You are right, the Waves have a much less friendly user interface, but what really pleases me is the roadmap that the project just recently published is definitely worth a look. Despite all those rumors that go around the project.

I see that right now Ethereum platform remains the leader in the crypto market. Provides important advantages for ICO and the development of new promising projects. Although now the Waves platform can offer its advantages, there is a good potential for development. But in any case, Ethereum will remain the leader in the near future.

What I think about is that each coin has their own strengths and weaknesses, including waves or ethereum, and I am sure that waves are very good in their fields and also ethereum.

Waves have a long and difficult experience reaching ethereum. Ethereum has become one of the main altcoins available, and waves have been born a few months after the fact, so ethereum has more significant experience in their assignments, and on the market. So I feel that impossible waves can be better than ethereum, there is no chance. Besides that, everyone likes ethereum more than the waves.

I take Ethereum over Waves anytime. That doesn't mean Waves is bad.

I believe that there are a lot of differences between the ETH and Waves platforms, to be more precise, they are completely different and I see no reason to compare them. But one of the biggest differences is the fact that ico, various blockchain projects and Dapps are created and carried out on the ETH platform. As far as I know on the Waves platform, all this is not. And of course it’s foolish to compare these platforms, since there are many more users on the ETH platform than on the Waves platform.

waves platform is good,, but if we compared with ethereum platform, i think i still bet for ethereum platform my friend
because in my opinion ethereum platform is better than waves platform
as i know, in the last few days, waves price rising because a lot of good news coming to waves,,

Both platforms can be used to issue tokens but in different ways. Ethereum can issue ERC20 and ERC223 standard based tokens.One unique feature of the waves platform is the DEX but it's not so popular yet.

I prefer to buy waves, see the price of waves currently experiencing price increases you should be able to take advantage of price increases as well as possible.

Without a doubt, Ethereum will remain the leader in the near future. Developed and widespread platform that provides important advantages for launching new ICO projects. While Waves cannot offer such opportunities and resources, therefore I believe in the success of Ethereum.

Already many ICOs have more confidence in the eth platform, so this eth remains the best platform. Eth has advantages and looks easier and simpler. For many waves, there are not many ico who use it, it's too simple and lacks creativity

Ethereum platform has already proved itself from the good side, the waves are still a relatively new platform, but it seems to me no less promising!

It is easier to create a token using the waves platform and the fact that it comes with a decentralized exchange is a plus.

And that ICOs have trusted Ethereum more than Waves because of the Smart Contract that ETH offers, I have to admit though that Waves has a friendly user interface and that their contract is indeed much simpler, the only problem here is that ETH offers a much more secured and reliable way when it comes to their platform, and that is why I think people are going into ETH rather than Waves, just my own opinion though.

the difference may not be far away, but there are a number of differences, for example projects that use the ethereum platform are more popular than waves because I rarely see cenctralized exchange listings token from Waves Platform , the second difference is that fee for ethereum feathers is very unstable while waves fee is very stable

If you really want an answer to this question you should do your own research. Asking it here will just get you the opinions of people who don't really know what they are talking about as I can see just by looking at the first page of answers. Don't be lazy, do your own research because that is what will give you the advantage over the rest of the players in the market.

Well I see Waves decentralized platform as better than Ethereum decentralized platforms, the only thing is that Ethereum is well know and adopted more than waves.

many new projects choose Ethereum platform and I rarely see ICO projects that choose WAVES platfrom as a preferred blockchain.

in my opinion the ethereum platform and the waves platform are both good, waves also experienced very good development this year, but for now ethereum remains the most popular.

I think both are good, but I prefer ethereum plarform because there are many new ico that use the platform compared to the waves platform. the price of tokens in ethereum platforms is also expensive compared to the platform waves

Both are good and platform based token. I think wave is a platform where you can issue a token in hour and it's very easy and the idea is very good. But unfortunately we don't see many use cases of waves. And where ethereum is the biggest platform based token. Most of the ico till now are based on ethereum. It is the most used and most popular platform ecosystem in this crypto market. If I have to choose I will always go for ethereum.

Where are all these ETH ICO's now?

A whitepaper and hyped non-compliant ICO doesn't make a use-case. Do you know anybody outside cryptocurrencies who has ever heard of a product or service built on Ethereum?

If a real use-case mass product really took off - the Ethereum network could not cope. In this regard, Waves Platform, with the Worlds fastest decentralised public blockchain has the advantage.

Ethereum should (and I think will) address the scalability issues as well as the toxic media issue of POW energy wastage. I guess Constantinople is a first step. Until that happens - ETH is most definitely playing catch-up. These other stupid forks, on the other hand, are not helping ETH at all.

In my sense ETH platform is the very good platform than the WAVES platform, most of people use the ETH platform because it is too simple to use and hold the coins.

   Thanks MHopkins on this very insightful comment. I have some Ethereums and Waves, in which one I trust more I can`t say.
Let`s hope that Constantinople can deliver what we hope for and maybe more for Ethereum, but I believe that both projects
will succeed in long-term.
   Do you hold both of them, or you made a choice to support only one from this two? Which one?

both platforms are good, but I think it's too easy and cheap to be able to make new coins using the ETH and WAVES platforms.
I think ETH and WAVES must emulate the EOS platform which imposes high fees for making coins so that fraudsters will think again if they want to make new coins to cheat.

It seems to me that today ethereum shows real prospects in the cryptocurrency market. The waves have already started to lose their relevance a long time ago. And as for the EOS platform, it is really expensive for a simple user of cryptocurrency.

Over the last couple of years the Ethereum platform have broken so many records to remain standout among others. I really don't know the potentials of wave and it wave DEX yet but of Ethereum i know it is very popular and most good projects comes out from the Ethereum Blockchain compare to others. Maybe we will see a different Ethereum after the upcoming hardfork which is not far from now.

Waves is an awesome platform and could be seen as an alternative to Ethereum. Both of these coins have their own blockchain and waves is even faster. But the biggest role plays the amount of community members that are interested in this coin and at this point Ethereum is much better.

These two platforms have some very different technologies, and the development platform is base on official Blockchain. For Ethereum, many developers choose to be a base platform to develop their Blockchain because it supports this more than Waves and in particular it has many times more users than the Waves.

Imposing an high fee wouldn't stop an outright scam project from proceeding with its initial intention, The high fee imposed would only imply that cheap scammers won't be able afford the platform, and not just cheap scammers alone but legitimate projects with low budget and good intentions for the crypto industry too won't be able to afford the platform as well.

This month there will be many forks in Ethereum and there also will be a fork in the coin Waves. after these forks, we will better understand which blockchain will be better

ETH is more established and trusted platform which is used by the majority of the ICOs. Waves also have very active
development team and great perspective. At this stage I do not think that it could overtake the crown from ETH as the
leading platform.

the system of the platform owned by the ethereum I think more perfect and better than the waves. But if on practicality then waves more easily understood and used. It's just that this lost the market so as to make waves have less so because of platforms in the ethereum enthusiasts already has a great name.

Wave is a Crypto platform that functions as a token asset involved in transferring fiat coin transfer activities and at the same time trading blockchain technology. yes maybe the Ethereum platform is better than Wave but not a bad Wave, but maybe people have their own charm according to their taste. A person's interest in their choices is different so he chooses depending on their tastes.

That time when both platform are active, there's a lot of ICO that uses their platform but nothing compared with ETH as until now you can still see a lot of ICO using its platform. I just notice also that projects under Waves platform has not find any success anymore, they do not have a good trading volume in exchanges because most of them are not listed in a high liquid exchange like Binance.

They have their own exchange but people seems not to be interested in trading, unlike with Etherdelta and IDEX where you can see some good volume.

the ethereum platform is more widely used than the Waves platform, but in my experience the waves platform is easier to use than the platform from ethereum

they both differ and can be better explained by the consensus algorithm which is the most important factor that determine the performance, throughput, and scalability of any blockchain. Ethereum uses Proof of works (PoW) consensus algorithm while the Wave platform uses Proof of stake (PoS). both algorithms have advantages and disadvantages. for example, platform using PoW consume a lot of energy and also have low throughput (e.g Bitcoin, ethereum). many projects use ethereum because it uses one of the first consensus algorithm (PoW) which they believe its more reliable and totally decentralized. Although many developers have query the decentralized feature of such platform. PoS algorithm running platform have high transaction speed compare to PoW

Ethereum and Waves platform are the platform that allow other token to be built  on them. Ethereum is smart based contract so also is Waves. The difference between the two is how easy it is to use them.

Waves recently were doing pretty well, but people still remember, how easy it was to make a Waves token and most ICO's on Waves been scam. They need to do something about it and DEX exchange has not that great kind of volumes, even BTC/ETH and that is a strong weak point of Waves.

I think that most investors and developers trust ethereum more. This project has proven itself very well. I also prefer ethereum.

These platforms now have real-life projects that today continue to evolve. Nevertheless, today it is necessary to understand that there are actually more projects on the ETH project. Therefore, ETH really win.

wave is nowhere to find now, and ETH is in the verge of losing its dominance to XRP. But on the other hand, crypto is still stuck its marketcap. I am just hoping it will receive more support to a legit investors.

i also hope that the same as you,
now it's very difficult for crypto to pump because investors have lost a lot of money in it.

i hope the development of crypto in the future is better than this, especially ethereum.

first eth will not loose ,ya xrp has grown in volume maybe somebody is manipulation in big way.second a week back waves has good volume and there are major news coming in q1 so we can see a spike in price.about market there is nothing new as we have seen before as well ,pure manipulation.

ethereum and waves similarly adopt blockchain technology but ethereum is superior to waves and even other platforms.
ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts, ie applications that run exactly programmed instructions, without the possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud, and without third party interference
and although all blockchain have the ability to process code, but most are very limited, not with ethereum, Ethereum can give developers the right to make whatever operations they want, meaning developers can make various types of applications depending on the wishes of developers and ethereum can easily make various digital currencies
and because of its advantages why ethereum is used more often

Do not compare each and every platform that is in the market. Well, they have all their cons and pros to say, well, Ethereum is good in some ways, and waves is still in developing stage.

Of the two platforms it is truly extraordinary and I am very proud to like this platform. I use the Ethereum platform more often. Because Platform Waves never uses it. So I prefer and support for the ethereum platform.

what I feel so far is the difference between waves form and etherum platform is, waves wallet there can do storage and exchange. while etherum, I use myetherwallet, which in MEW only serves to store it, and then to exchange it to etherum it must be transferred to forkdelta or etherdelta.

waves and eth, are strong coins,
we can't compare it,
because each coin has its own advantages and disadvantages.
but if I have to choose, then I choose eth because eth has already done a fork, namely ethereum const, and this is a new eth upgrade that should not be missed.

ETH has a lot of projects that use this platform and it looks simple but there are many scam projects that reduce eth's good name, but eth still remains strong and continues to provide better development. Wave is good and growing, improvement is always a very simple platform, but not many projects use it so that it has a good impression and gives a future.

I admire the both platform and I'm using it daily, I only suffer minor issues about MEW ever since. Both are active and liable.  ;)

I don't really understand the Waves platform, maybe it's just as good and same as having the opportunity to be good in the future. but I believe more with the ethereum platform.

Despite all the possible options that are available today, that is, options for creating and setting up a Waves project, I would probably say that this project will always be second in comparison with ETH and Waves

Eth it's king of ico. Most part a new project prefer eth instead waves and another platform. I personaly prefer eth how project.

Well, the platforms are getting better every year. New network new trends. I'm still looking at this platform. maybe this is a new favorite.

I think that without a shadow of a doubt we can say that the fight for which platform is better won Ethereum. I think that the main and most important argument that decided which platform is better was the ease of use. I really do not like using the Waves platform and I only do it when I have no other choice.

 well although wave platform seems to offer cheaper transaction fees, but Etheruem blockchain is still mostly used. A lot of projects are using Ethereum blockchain for their crytptocurrencies and only a hand full use wave . So ethereum in my opinion is still  superior.

Don't even make such comparisons, it is useless. Waves is a place for shitcoins and I don't see any future for waves. Yeah, it is convenient to create token and DEX is implemented, but where are good projects on waves?

I agree, there are a lot of Ethereum competitors in the market, and every time I compare some coin with Ethereum, I think it is senseless that the market has already chosen a leader and this is the Ethereum coin!

For me I choose waves platform, transaction fee so cheap, and transaction time so fast, wave also has a decentralized exchange, where we can trade there, so easy. But because ethereum already exist for a long time that's why many developers still choose it. And in the future, I think waves platform will be used more

Ethereum has a decentralized exchange site, it has a big community behind it and it will move to the hybrid which gives the fair to all of the token holders. Waves doesn't have any usefulness and the new platforms are more attractive than waves

Both ethereum and waves have different platform and I believe it will up the value of this two coin.
Ethereum is possible to become king because there is same characterics like what have bitcoin.
Waves is one of the coin who are the next ethereum becaude it's look like ethereum from cents to good price maybe we can wait more years to see real potential of waves.

ETHEREUM has their FORKDELTA AND ETHERDELTA OR IDEX...
While WAVES has its DEX.

In ERC-20 you need to deposit your token first and consume the gas before listing your token in sell orders.
In waves DEX you dont need to send any, your gas will be deducted on the sell or buy transaction.

Ethereum is the future of the smart blockchain contract because it is the gateway for others to make their tokens or cryptocurrency which is far better than using the wave blockchain

as we know the main function of the eterium platform is as a smart contract, its use is also easy, and tokens that use this platform can be included in various market exchanges, so that it is widely used by ico developers.
While the WSV platform, few use it, because one of the excellent features in Wave is copy and paste from the NXT blockchain platform, so the script is not authentic.
but there are excellent features of the wave that support world currency exchanges such as Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yen, etc. Besides that, it is also supported by financial institutions that are subject to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti Money Laundering) provisions. Despite many negative problems about waves, but it seems that so far the waves platform has experienced significant development.

Ethereum is a platform that is widely used by the ICO project and is supported by ERC-20 as a form of token payment through ETH. I prefer the Ethereum platform rather than WAVES because it is used more by many people, I don't know about the WAVES platform because it is rarely used by many ICO projects.

I certainly agree with you, ethereum popularity and demand is of high compare to waves, beside ethereum is a smart contract platform of which waves is not and second on the market table after bitcoin.

I think that after adding contracts, the waves soar, so how soar, less than eth. It is more convenient for them, and I think this is not a bad investment.

I do not see prospects at WAVES platform. It seems to me that this project can not compete with Ethereum. At the moment, Ethereum is stronger.

Both of them are well developed and trusted project. But at this moment ethereum is most used and most popular platform.  Waves was started with a great idea anyone can make a token in just few moments . But somehow the idea was very undervalued. So technically waves is maybe better but the use case is under valued. And at this moment it is very hard for any platform to take place of ethereum.  And after ethereum 2.0 and hardfork announced ethereum will solve the scalability problem. Ethereum will be future proof now. Both of them are good lets see what happens in future.

Waves added to their smart account and smart assets on a platform the Azure Marketplace. Waves is growing on the background of this new, in the last day Waves took one of the leading positions in the upward dynamics among the first hundred CoinMarketCap. As for me, Waves is more promising.

I only owned a currency that still connected to Ethereum because I really appreciate how strong and convenient to use Ethereum but still I don't participate yet in any projects that related to waves. But I think they are still a good platforms that can grow in the market that will make a difference in the coming future.

When it comes to s art contracts, Ethereum is the leader while all others follow, same with many other innovations like tokens in the blockchain, you can testify that ERC-20 tokens are the most widely used.

How can you even make comparison of both platforms? I have no doubts that ethereum is more advanced platform, 87% of dapps are on ethereum protocol. Waves hasn't proven credibility and for me it is dead. The only advantage of Waves is easy process of creation of shit coins. You don't have to care about shit coins , but for good projects waves isn't enough

For me, the most reliable option for work is Ethereum. Now it is becoming the basis for the work and development of many promising ICOs. But I admit that in the future the situation may change - after some updates, the Waves platform may improve its position.

Waves seems to me difficult to use and we never felt comfortable using waves. On ethereum platform it is easy to use and it is fast price also low. And there are a lots of projects who used ethreum there is only few projects who used waves to start their project.

During the HYIP bounty companies, many companies were held on the platform of the waves, but as the practice has shown, these coins did not reach anything, only the bottom, the platform of the waves is not a competitor to Ethereum.

i mostly use ethereum platform because most of the tokens that i have is from erc-20 token which is ethereum platform. on the other hand, waves platform is not really popular most of the project also using eth platform. i think that's why waves token price is not as good as ethereum.

Unfortunately, the Waves platform failed to achieve the desired success.Even decentralized stock market projects are not actively used..Projects in the middle are very unsuccessful.Even Binance Chain will be more successful than the Waves Platform.

If I am not mistaken, Waves is not a smart contract, and as far as I know, when Waves started to have an ico campaign project they used ETH erc20 platform to promote their token and build their community and to have value in the market. If Ethereum is next into Bitcoin then Waves could be next to Ethereum, In other words Waves for now has no match for Ethereum.

That because waves has a ton of shit tokens on their platform. But i still think waves has being under value. Their market will be growing and i believe waves will make something more value to their platform to make their waves token rises.

The original post was way back in 2017, when people were really positive about waves.
This was before the onslaught of brand new smart contract platforms that popped up all the time.

Eth was groundbreaking and relatively easy to use.
Waves made it even easier and cheaper.

Now, two years later, for better or for worse, we see that that easy and cheap useability has turned waves into a non contender.
It does have its own loyal base and community, but it has become known for joke and fringe projects.
There hasn't been any serious project built on the waves platform that has penetrated the mainstream crypto audience.

I personally think thats fine.
It's great to have all kinds of options.
But for a serious investor, eth is the better choice hands down.

For me the ethereum platform is certainly better than Waves, this can be seen from the many inactive Waves-based tokens and small daily transaction volumes.

Waves made a really big step to realize its potential. Because they really began to develop smart contracts. I hope that in any case, Waves will show us how to develop, because I see how the project is being successfully implemented today.

clearly different because the two platforms have their respective advantages. and certainly everyone has a different assessment from both platforms. I myself prefer to use the ETH platform because of the speed and the benefits I get.

Binance chain will bring a new excitement to the market. There may be sudden movements in the Bnb price. I recommend that you stay away for the time being.

I believe that in the near future the Ethereum platform will remain a confident leader. After all, today most of the new projects prefer to work with Ethereum, it provides important advantages. Although the Waves has a good development potential, some coins are already working with its platform and have achieved success.

I put on waves. At a distance of 3 years, I think they can at least compare in popularity and functionality with ETH. ???

Without a doubt, Waves is a very strong project among Russian projects.
But the Waves will never be as popular as Etherium. Essentially, Etherium is a forefather, and Waves copy its idea (albeit with differences)
I'm afraid they are doomed to catch up the passing sun

Waves shows the development and smart contracts that really can make our future more fun and today cryptocurrency is already changing our future, because today people already understand that fiat funds have no limits, that is, they are not limited.

waves is a less attractive platform for now but indeed the development of waves still continues but it's still far behind with the development of eth, especially the tokens they make are clearly superior to eth, most token waves end in destruction but there are some old tokens that survive until now like mobilego , primalbase, encryptotel

Waves and Ethereum are not really in entirely the same space. Ethereum is targetting ICO's offering technical and bespoke services whereas Waves is primarlily targeting the mainstream.

I think Ethereum is more known and more used by people and also was used for ICO and to create tokens, and waves is used by a small percent and this reflect also on price.

The popularity of ETH helps it to take solid steps. But the wave is not bad for its own development. We might even think it is even better. But, here the supporters are the most important factor.

The level to which Ethereum as a blockchain has been integrated in the industry has gone to a length where most currencies and blockchain technologies are envious. Ethereum is one of the most simplest blockchain designs making it the easy to go blockchain from most start up projects. Waves on the other hand seem to be easy but not as attractive in design and integration as Ethereum. I think, this is the major difference.

I agree with you, the platforms are used by users but preference is more to Ethereum than Wave which make it more popular, besides they both have different smart contract.
