Polkadot offers better scalability than the ethereum blockchain. It offers relay chain, cross-blockchain features, forkless network, decentralized governance and all these are not available in the ethereum network. Actually, Polkadot offers all the solutions to those problems that the ethereum network can not. So many projects are using the Polkadot network. Do you think Polkadot is really Ethreum killer?

Anything is possible but don't forget that even if Polkadot do better than ethereum it's still not on Polkadot to take over ethereum, developers who likes using smart contract to run their projects are the ones who will decide, if Polkadot becomes more favorable than ethereum then it's a big possibility

I don't think so. You can see how much money is locked on ethereum defi while polka defi was only getting the hype from the launch of polka para chain. People were not using polka defi.
Ethereum has different advantages compared with polka. Link is much more popular than polka

There were some old projects that declared to be ethereum killers like EOS and TRON or even ETC

There are many Ethereum competitors and more are still coming but the public will still choose and use Ethereum over them because Ethereum is the first, there are many bitcoin killer in crypto space today but still bitcoin is standing over them, the answer is very straight forward

No, polkadot can't kill ethereum yet. Although there are many things ethereum lacks, their platform is hard to beat. ERC20 is currently still the best. But if Polkadot's future performance is the same as today, I think they have a chance to compete. And we must remember that ethereum will definitely not stand idly by as its competitors begin to threaten their popularity.

I don't believe that Polkadot can beat ethereum, how about Polkadot defeating other smart contract projects? Polkadot vs ethereum isn't even close, Polkadot can stand against NEO or Tron, not Ethereum, every single time I visit coinmarketcap for new listed projects 99% of them are running on eth smart contract

I don't think so. The popularity of Ethereum has been extraordinary. Some projects are also saying that they will be Ethereum killers. one of them is TRON. but in reality, Ethereum has yet to be dropped by other projects. Many project developers and teams still choose Ethereum smart contracts, so Ethereum is very difficult to kill for other projects. including polkadot.

Maybe you are right. But those features havent fully take adoption on mass community. We should wait till polkadot roll this out. For now we all knew eth has been taking a good movement due to their intial launch of eth 2.0. With the statement eth killer, can somebody believes a top 2 marketcap leader can be easily overtake by some new project? It will take years for that. Maybe tech is quite good but killing eth in the process would be next to impossible.

Can't say that until they fully release the Ethereum 2.0 that maybe will leave Polkadot eating the dust. Do this is possible but it will depend on the market and I think the Ethereum market is far huge than Polkadot alone especially in terms of users of developers but yeah it might be possible as Polkadot has far more strengths than Ethereum IMO but time will tell maybe wait for the next decade or even 5 years.

I heard people talking about Polkadot a lot lately, calling it Ethereum killer and other similar names,but we heard those things before in the past.Same thing was said about EOS,ADA,BNB and few others whil all this Ethereum is still at top of similar platforms.

Polkadot price could inrceas a lot,but my money is still on Ethereum and i dont see anynthing overthrowing it anytime soon.

Sorry pal as good as polkadot project is its not a worthy competitor for ethereum, compare polkadot to tron and eos, why cant we wait and see if polkadot can beat eos and tron first? ethereum is ahead of every new smart contract projects in crypto space today, many wants ethereum out of business but many developers still supports ethereum

There are already quite a number of projects that have confidence in dealing with Ethereum, but until now, even a project like BNB has not been able to beat ethereum. Well, maybe anything can happen in the cryptocurrency world, but I think it's too soon to draw such a conclusion.

I don't believe that, I still don't know why people likes comparing new smart contract projects with ethereum, is ethereum the only smart contract that's fit the challenge? How about others that are toping? Like

1. RSK
2. Stellar
3. EOS
4. Tron

Which new smart contract project have beaten this ones yet? Lol

Not another so called Ethereum killer, we have seen so many attempts already that I doubt that someone will really replace Ethereum as this point. And as we obviously seen in the price, investors are looking for prime mover coins like BTC and Ethereum sad to say because there's where the money it. Perhaps DOT has what it takes or is really better than Ethereum, but without any consensus support from the alt community, it won't replace Ethereum by any chance. BNB even attempted as well, but nothing went well eventhough is is back up by CZ himself.

In my opinion nothing can replace Ethereum, because Ethereum has a lot of good communities and they have believed for a long time so it is impossible to replace them with new ones even though polka dots have good deals does not mean that everyone wants to move and leave Ethereum. So in essence, polka dots will never be able to kill the Ethereum network forever.

It can happen, but it's not easy. Currently Ethereum is still the most trusted altcoins and indeed they are the best, especially if the 2.0 upgrade is successful.
However, all possibility can be happen in the crypto world, Polka could be a more efficient choice for several reasons as you mentioned.

I think I will focus more on which is most decentralized, transparent, secure, censorship resistant, immutable, fraud-proof, participatory, consensus-driven, trustless/permissionless, privacy-friendly/anonymity-friendly... Plus, which has the best rules/protocol, has most users running full nodes to control their assets & take part in consensus etc.


I find the Forkless Network quite interesting though. Hopefully I will read about it someday to understand it well.

No new crypto project can beat Ethereum, even if they introduce better use case and utilities the community love surrounding ethereum is way stronger than any altcoins combined, there will always be new smart contract projects but they can't beat Ethereum

Polkadot offers a lot, but only global acceptance decides success.

Meanwhile ETH continues to enjoy that ...

Many altcoins out there already have better specification than Ethereum and they flops. it's all matters on whether people gonna use it or not regardless of what feature you are offering or they are offering. ETH could become what it is today because a long and strenous process of building its community from the ground.
So if you're asking whether it could become Ethereum killer, maybe it will but no one know for sure because it's the market that decides.

It is very difficult to say how Polkadot will behave when its network is loaded as it was recently with the Ethereum network. In addition to Polkadot, there are many other Ethereum killers, but I think that every network has a right to exist and each network will have its own fans.

This is the truth, global acceptance is much important when it comes to cryptocurrency. As of now bitcoin and ethereum is the much accepted cryptocurrency in the global market. When the market keeps widening there'll be need of advancement. Maybe the same will be fulfilled by new cryptocurrencies. So we can't conclude that ethereum gets replaced by Polkadot, only the demand gives the result.

Still, polkadot needs more time to take the place of ethereum, and no one will know if that can happens or not. But if polkadot can invite more investors to their project, that can help the project to grow bigger and in that time, polkadot will have a chance to lift the positioning step by step and in the end, polkadot can take the place of ethereum. But to be honest, it will be tough competition for polkadot to compete with ethereum as the ethereum has already become bigger and has many investors. They won't let ethereum place to be replaced by the other coins. But we will see it later.

Just because it was made by a co-founder of Ethereum doesn't mean it's going to be ETH killer. Those features you mentioned doesn't matter because Ethereum has a huge community and don't forget that Ethereum keeps on developing so Ethereum will always be next to Bitcoin. Unless, Polkadot became more convenient and becomes better when creating tokens.

Polkadot really is an alt that interests me, it’s still so cheap so you really have nothing to lose by taking a punt on it. Buy some, HODL & forget about it, don’t obsess with checking the price. You might be surprised in a few years at where it goes.

The problem is not to overcome Ethereum, but to overcome it in terms of development, membership, market and benefits for society. I believe that Polkadot(DOT) has potential but it's still too early to say that it can surpass Ethereum or any other project. So we need an project to show to a large mass of the population that crypto is an alternative to paying for quick transactions and Ethereum is showing this possibility.

only time will tell all that polka dots to become ethereum competitors in the future maybe a few years polka dots will be one of the best platforms and will make a pretty good achievement the polka dots platform is quite perfect for investment as well and the current Polkadot price has gone up quite a bit. It is quite good that this year the Polkadot coin will be one of the top coin competitors as well and it will definitely happen that time will definitely run fast for the Polkadot blockchain to be the best.

Well in the crypto industry everything is possible. By the way, Polkadot is just one of the many competitors that want to dethrone the King of smart-contract which is Ethereum, But as we all know in the crypto industry old platforms has a lot of supporters that's why it's also an important factor why Ethereum is the leading smart-contract service provider but who knows in the near future maybe a twist of events will determine if Ethereum will still remain as the leading smart-contract platform.

Polkadot is still too young to be able to beat ethereum, but for the next few years it seems likely that they can take the throne of altcoins from ethereum.
Because to achieve this goal, Polkadot can not only rely on their sophistication but also the strength of their community, and of course this takes time.

As the day goes by new development come onboard and polkadot  have shown great features that will serve large amount of the concern being faced in the current network and I know in the feature any thing is possible, but what I can say is how it going to take the place of the ethereuem network.

Can't you compare Polkadot with EOS or NEO? Can't you put them head to head instead of using Ethereum, Polkadot haven't beat Tron or RSK yet you are now using Ethereum to compare, let's save this for another way when or if Polkadot manges to beat Tron, EOS, Neo, and others first

I myself am not expert about Polkadot but the coin is surely upto something. It got into the top 20 even before current bullish trend from nowhere and is still sticking around and now is inside the top 10 by marketcap. Just above of Binance coin. It's rise has not been dependent on rise or fall of any other coin. It is a coin to look at.

Polkadot does have technology that can be said to be capable and also very capable of competing, but if you say "replace" it will still be very difficult, even though it is polkadot. Ethereum is not only known as one of the biggest cryptos, but also has the largest user base today. ethereum is also more familiar in the blockchain community

Polkadot is a very interesting altcoin but can't beat many top coins yet, is Polkadot better than NEO or Tron? I guess not, and Tron or EOS can't even beat or replace Ethereum, this competition is hilarious, I'm not underrating Polkadot but Ethereum is a king

This is the first time i have check their website about their mechanism and what is the major difference between the two even though i have seen this name in exchanges but after going through their governance it looks promising and lets see how how both will compete against each other and it would be wise to invest some money in Polkadot but i need to study further about their plan and with all these said advantages the price is lesser than ETC ;D.

This is true many projects have big ambitios to beat ethereum but still failed. I don't think polkadot can take place ethereum and I doubt it will happen in the future. Ethereum has different use and advantages compared to polkadot, and even mostly creator of project choose to use the smart contract which is ethereum is very useful.

what i see polkadot has advantages that not even Ethereum itself as you have already said especially about cross-blockchain features, decentralized network and governance. on the one hand I also admire Polkadot because I think this project is hype but unexpectedly recently the Polkadot Project was able to rank in the top 10 in the CMC Market. this proves its worth as the top crypto, however anything can happen in the crypto market but I am still optimistic that the Ethereum project can last long in the top market.

Ethereum is more popular than polkadot even though everything is possible but I still believe that it can't take the place of ethereum because almost all people using ethereum blockchain and mostly people are more familiar in ethereum rather than in polkadot.

You are right, Polkadot can take place of Ethereum. Polkadot is a good coin and transaction verry fast. Polkadot token has given investors a good profit. Its marketcap is also very good. I think Polkadot next ETH.

Me too. We know that the history of crypto when there were so many platforms declared themselves as ethereum killer. They were still getting placed below ethereum.
I think that these platforms were declared themselves as ethereum killers to attract the people to try their platforms.
TRON gets dumped and EOS too.

Polka could be the next tron and eos.

probably yes, but still hard to believe it , remember about how EOS FOMO on 2017-2018 going ? , and the time has answer it , nothing change , and now we see another contestant , of course this one is more better than EOS , probably we can see the final match when ETHV2 going alive. How ETH will solved their scalability on ETHV2 is the important thing to see.

This is 101 thread that starts with next ethereum killer! I don't know why people even think in that way, ethereum will not be replaced! Ethereum already have a nice share of the market, others can just try to take what's left! Of course many projects are trying, and some of them are doing good, but ethereum still holds high top! Question is will there be a project that can make some break through and come closer to eth in the next 5 years?! I think many projects have some chances, low but some chances at least, and I have stacked some of them, so we will see what will happen!

I don't think so because Polkadot and Ethereum have their respective portions and roles
both have their own advantages to compete
live on the more dominant look where the technology of the two is widely used by developers, and the development of Polkadot and Ethereum which is more developed can be seen later

Not sure it will be a killer. Just like a another strong player on the market with its own revolution technology. It will just take it's place and own market segment. That's it.

I don't think so because there are so many projects which is faster and more efficient than Bitcoin but still Bitcoin rules crypto world and similarly there are numerous projects to replace Ethereum but they might not succeed as Ethereum is like Bitcoin of altcoins, if anyone can even come closer Eth then it would either be TRX or NEO.

I am not agree with you. Polka and ETH both has different advantages in different way. But it doesn't mean that it will take place of ETH. Ethereum is 2nd most trusted cryptocurrency in the world. Polkadot need a lot of time to gain this type of trust. I think still it is not comparable with ETH.

maybe for now polkadot is the best ethereum competitors
but i never think if polkadot will replacing ethereum as the best altcoins, remember ethereum community is very strong buddy

sound familiar, a new project has been launched or is still young to be juxtaposed with ethereum.  I don't think it really fits because ethereum has been recognized by many people as the king of Altcoin until recently.  Ethereum position cannot be overthrown for the next few years because the ethereum platform has spawned thousands of crypto projects to date.  Even ethereum has a sizable market share with millions of its communities around the world.  I hope polkadot can maintain performance and continue to innovate with creative ideas in the development of Cryptocurrency.

Unlikely it will happen for the obvious reasons, there are always potentially better projects. The DOT project was released before 2018 and the Ethereum developers have made a better development over scalability. In terms of price and marketcap, I doubt the Polkadot price will surge enough to pass the ETH marketcap. The long way for the reaching the ATH is waiting for the Polkadot investors because the other alternative blockchains will be invented after the strong demand.

Many projects over time have been acclaimed "ETH killer" including EOS, but with time the hype dies down and all attention goes back to ETH as usual. I think what ETH needs to improve on truly is fees and speed of transaction which also points to scalability improvement. But however, this doesn't mean newer projects are better off, they need to experience the kind of traffic ETH network experiences before we can term them as "ETH killer". ETH in the real sense is far better than most of them.

Of course, it is not impossible but does it a really strong reason to beat Ethereum? I don't think so. Ethereum is surely more famous than Polkadot and already used by top platforms as well. Also, Ethereum has been proven for many years, while Polkadot is just a new one. Well, based on these facts, it should be not easy to beat Ethereum. Personally, I think Ethereum is unbeatable by others.

I don't think Polkadot is Ethereum killer, maybe this was just your own perception only dude,
and as I can see with Polkadot is not design for that thing where it made to destroy ETH, of course not!
Although, Polkadot has a potentials like Ethereum but instead of, thinking it is the killer why not think of the better
for the holders of DOT and ETH as well.

Polkadot is not as grand as ethereum and could never reach that level unless ethereum drops under polkadot instead. I mean surely ethereum is not at second place forever, I do not even believe there won't be anything bigger than crypto, something better than blockchains, a whole new system.

However, let's assume crypto is here for 50+ more years and I think both bitcoin and ethereum will fall from their places and something else may take its place. In this case maybe polkadot see a moment when it is higher than ethereum not because polkadot can go higher but because eth can go lower. Aside from that 0.00001% chance, there is no way it could take ethereums place, it is just not as much used and not as much liked, eth is something like an industry standard in crypto.

Many are saying that polkadot will be a good crypto in the future but I don't believe it can beat eth. Ethereum is the mother of erc20 tokens and polkadot is an erc20 token. But who knows, maybe in the future they will beat ethereum. It depends how they will maintain and improve their project. For me, I'll have both since polkadot is also one of the top crypto in coinmarketcap.

There are many Ethereum killers in crypto space but till date no one really kill ethereum yet  ;D, this is only a dream because nothing can beat ETH and it will continue to be developers favourite, even old projects like EOS, Stellar and Neo still can't defeat ethereum not to talk of new crypto projects

Polkadot project has great potential but I think it is impossible for polkadot to replace eth in coinmarket especially with eth 2.0 new project and when eth 2.0 starts it will also increase the price of eth so polkadot is unlikely to replace eth's throne in coinmarket but if polkadot can show more new projects that are more liked and have more benefits it can increase the rank of polkadot in coinmarket.

Polkadot is a very good altcoin, worth holding for altcoin season too but have this project beat Tron and EOS yet? Isn't ethereum better than every single smart contract projects in crypto space today? I don't think Ethereum is the best coin to use against Polkadot right now

As a matter of fact nothing is impossible, I believe that another crypto project can beat and dethroned ethereum but presently its not close to happening at all, we are comparing Polkadot with Ethereum and Polkadot have beat the best four smart contract projects yet, still a long way to go and a long battle to fight

It is difficult to compare Ethereum with Polkadot, Polkadot is a new project,
and indeed the DOT price increase is very good, some even predict that DOT will go to an all time high again,
but to be able to beat Ethereum, Polkadot needs more time.

Some people just looking for what will take the place of what, what exactly will make polkadot be able to take the place of ethereum! eth has its flaws we agree and so it has achieve a lot with huge user base, both of this project are good in their capacity, for now i think eth will continue to reign supreme as the top of all alternative coins and tokens out there.

Polkadot is very good presently but the future of Polkadot is unknown, Don't compare a old project with new project because the old project already achieve solid foundation and it's 10x stronger than new projects, there are worthy opponents in crypto space to compare with Polkadot not Ethereum

Polkadot looks like a really good project. Time is going to tell, when developers starts making use of it they will decide for themselves which network is best for them, and they will start switching to that platform. Although we are yet to know how good the ETH 2.0 is going to be, but we already know that Polkadot has some good features that might be giving it some edge in the fight with Ethereum.

There are already so many projects that works better than Ethereum, but the odds is always on the side of Ethereum for being the first to do it. It’s just like the same thing we are seeing in Bitcoin, there are other coins that were created to be better than Bitcoin, but BTC is ahead for being the first.

Most trending issue that  people are facing about ethereum this is high transaction fee.Not even polkadot  if any other coin or project appears which has the solutions and advance features  than ethereum then it will surely be a killer but of course it will take time to be recognised by people overall.

The right challenger of Polkadot are as followed

1. EOS
2. Tron
3. RSK
4. Neo
5. Stellar

If Polkadot can beat this smart contract projects then maybe just maybe it can be on same level with ethereum, forget dethroning ethereum cos it's never going to happen, Polkadot is new and ethereum is old

I do agree with your list as ethereum is much more superior compared with polkadot even this platform was fixing all of the problems that still faced by ethereum. Polkadot is a polkadot and it will never be the same as ethereum. People should understand about that if there's not chance for DOT to compete with ethereum at least not for this time.

This coin has a very good potential for growth, so investors have been investing in Polkadot for a long time to hold. This coin is one of those that made a lot of noise around its network, literally breaking into the Top-10 of Coinmarketcap, but it will not be able to shift Ethereum from the podium.

Polkadot can be called a better or upgraded version of ethereum I think. Dev just tried to give a solution to those problems that the Ethereum network can not. But ethereum network is so massive that no project can completely replace it. There are many projects that show great expectation but still, there are not anywhere near the ethereum network.

Yes, basically it is not feasible to compare the new project with the old project which is already very solid on the foundation, but in terms of competition and comparison of these two tokens, sometimes a new project is also more prominent in terms of awakening ideas that have never existed in the past, although that idea may not be very well accepted at this point, I generally agree with what you are saying.

There is no doubt for now that Polkadot is a better technology than Ethereum, but one of the thing killing some of these big projects is lack of community, Ethereum has strong community because it has made many people rich and are going to protect their investment, Polkadot is a VC's project and lack strong retail FOMO. If project comes with a valuation of$20 million and return to $1 billion Mcap believe it would have strong follower, Chainlink and Binance are two great examples

It's not possible for Polkadot to get the Ethereum place. Ethereum is needed on for the transaction of tokens. I have one question for you, is this Polkadot will be a gas for the transaction of tokens from your wallet. From my experience, it won't replaced by Polkadot.

likely this would never happen...
Ethereum is the best Altcoin and it never shifts, many projects that are based on erc20, 'ethereum killer' just a fairy tale. while polkadot are not very popular. when ethereum 2.0 slides, ethereum prices will increase.

I agree that polka dot offers much advanced options and features as compared to ethereum network at the moment but eth developers are also working on longterm developments, features, improvements, upgrades and solutions. So i think ethereum network is always going to have that pioneer advantage.

Polkadot has a better foundation but is unlikely to beat Ethereum's reputation. We can see other good examples like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Both 2 also use a Proof of Working mechanism but the value is very different. Even Litecoin is more advanced using the Skrypt encryption algorithm, which is much faster than the SHA-256 of Bitcoin but cannot compete with Bitcoin.
It shows that reputation and community are what makes it all. Fans of Ethereum are huge and beating this platform is difficult, unless Polkadot has a higher market cap than Ethereum :)

in the past i predict if waves and lisk could be the next ethereum but thats only my dream
and now you predict if polkadot will take the place of ethereum as the best altcoins, maybe thats could be your dream my friend
because its impossible to replace ethereum as the best alts for now

The killer in the sense of replacement. The OP view is the Polkadot had potential over Ethereum and it replaced the Ethereum.And all the new crypto project will make a aim of Ethereum as their goal. But still now no project had reached his goal. Now Ethereum 2.0 going to launched to make new market.

with so many competitors who will kill ETH, but ETH still survives with all its shortcomings,
the evidence is that until now ETH has persisted and its prices have increased from time to time,
and even with ETH v2 maybe ETH will continue to improve its existing shortcomings .

Polkadot may offer much better scalability and features compared to Ethereum but, It will still be very hard to overtake Ethereum by now, people are too familiar with the ERC-20, and the erc-20 is huge adoption. Its not only about sophisticated features and better scalability tho, even after Tron with trc-20 and EOS, most of project still prefer to use Ethereum and cresting erc-20 token since it will be easier to be listed in many DEX, moreover we have Uniswap now growing bigger and bigger.

can you mention the project using the polkadot network my friend ? because i never heard it
by the way, i believe if polkadot will never become the ethereum killer, ethereum is too strong for a new project like polkadot buddy

Polkadot project is better. Etherium project is also better.
Those project has a bright future.
But those project are difference.
They are growing day by day. I think those project will have great in future.

What we have realized in the last decade is mere technological advancement doesn't make the coin superior. If we were to compare, bitcoin is one of the most dumb coin on the list and people may argue that it doesn't deserve to be so popular citing it's inefficient blockchain and how much energy it waste. But there are much more thing to consider and one of the largest one is trust and security. Which are a result of decentralization and community based development.

I think there is no project or any coins that can kill ethereum or beat this coin. If we noticed this coin is still the choice of project and it is already tested.

Many projects wants to beat the ethereum but for me there is no coin until now No coin has been develope but maybe for the other people is already coin that can defeat the ethereum to the potentiality and I respect on that it because people have different thinking and beliefs.

Honestly for now, I'm personally just using DOT to invest because of their staking rewards, but they can make this platform much better, but even then, ETH is just there next to BTC, a prince of Crypto if BTC is the King.

EOS, TRX, and WAVES have been rumored to be "Ethereum Killer" but until now Ethereum is still the king of Altcoin, and now Polkadot appears again! I don't see any potential for Polkadot to be able to shift Ethereum from its throne..

The projects that have sprung up at this time will only be able to steal a small amount of the market from Bitcoin and Ethereum but will not be able to shift both..

Actually, it not always about the technology behind the project. Sometimes it matters what the community thinks. Like there are many projects that use much faster and advanced technology than bitcoin but still, bitcoin is the king in the crypto world. ETH community is so vast that other projects can co-exist but can not replace it completely.

thats right, a lot of project want to kill ethereum but tha fact they can't, because as we can see ethereum still stand as the king of altcoins until now
and today ethereum getting stronger, because the price is growing really hard

It's too much if polka dots will kill ethereum, I think there are a lot of issues like this, like TRON. but unable to deal with ethereum. so this won't happen

I don't see Polkadot taking over ethereum anytime soon, ethereum will surely maintain its position on because in no ways can ethereum be compared to Polkadot.

I dont think so,there is no way that polkadot can take place of ETH,ETH is a old man that had survived in the market for several years, and Polkadot is just a newcomer.

Ethereum's current price is $540 and is likely to continue rising. The fluctuation was quite positive, on the other hand polkadot also increased, but not significantly. In terms of investment, Ethereum has far outperformed polkadot

^ your comparison is very good between newcomer and old man. :D

More specifically, from a usage point of view, Ethereum demand is still increasing in the market despite the volatile gas fees. Ethereum can't be swept away by Polkadot which still doesn't have a real & good market demand.

Polkadot need to incentivize developers to start working on their blockchain, if you think because your technology is good that means people would come then you are deceiving yourself, this is the mistake made by Tezos team and developers seems not to be interested to develop anything on the chain. Solano and Serum is a good move, and Polkadot need their own huge Dapps

Polkadot  has just entered the market and gained the number 8th spot which is impressive. Ethereum on the other hand has been for many years and is on the number 2 spot in coinmarketcap.
I don't think in the short term Polkadot can be at the place of Ethereum but it does have the potential to be the next ethereum.

Agreed. From what I have learned about Polkadot they actually solve a real problem and allow cross chain transfers of tokens. I am still learning about this cool project and seems like it has real potential and calling it ETH killer is actually wrong because they are not forcing anyone to invest, I saw they call it ETH killer in this article I read quite sometime ago, which actually tells a lot about DOT - https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/ethereum-blockchain-killer-goes-by-unassuming-name-of-polkadot

That's the problem we are trying to replace projects while the approach should be to look at them as options and alternatives. I mean DOT has it's own qualities while we must never forget who gave us the smart contracts and everything, it was indeed Ethereum.

A few undertakings are additionally saying that they will be Ethereum executioners. one of them is TRON. in any case, actually, Ethereum presently can't seem to be dropped by different undertakings. I think this venture is publicity however suddenly as of late the Project had the option to rank in the best 10 in the CMC Market. this demonstrates its value as the top crypto, anyway anything can occur in the crypto market however I am as yet idealistic that the Ethereum undertaking can keep going long in the top market.

Hmmmmm...... The chances of polkadot taking ethereum place is very small and the reason is that ethereum has gain enough ground, so comparing ethereum with a new project is not so good. Polkadot is a new project that can fuck up anytime.

many have promised to replace Ethereum so they can attract investors. but in reality at this time the project that was rumored to be inferior to ethereum and not yet capable. so it is a basic speculation issue to just get investors and raise money

Although I don't know much about cryptocurrency, I know it fairly well, since I've been associated with cryptocurrency for almost four years.
So I can say from personal experience that Polkadot will never be able to replace Ethereum.

Polkadot is new I don't think this will be the eth killer even they offer better than ethereum. There were many altcoin project trying to down ethereum like EOS but till now nothing happens. Let's just give a year or two for polkadot to take place ethereum because it is really new but I bet it will not happen.

All that quirks and features goes to waste if no one using it. Although polkadot market cap can be considered big but to take the place of ethereum it needs the acceptance ethereum has to the point where using erc20 is the norm among many new projects which Polkadot has yet to achieve that.

 However, if there's any rival to ethereum I think it's not xrp but polkadot but that's just my opinion

Even I believe that Polkadot cannot replace Ethereum. It is the number one blockchain in cryptocurrency ecosystem. Even Polkadot is potential and gaining popularity and competing Ethereum, it will not defeat Eth. There still more people who are optimistic and believe in Ethereum especially now that Eth 2.0 airing in crypto sphere.

A lot of new chain networks are being created aside from eth, we now have the polkadot and binance smart chain. These two are the biggest competitors of ETH now, but they are new and most of the projects now are still using eth rather than creating new chain using polkadot nor bsc. If polkadot can show its pitch and many projects will use this to create smart chain maybe it can replace the congested eth network and also a chain having a big fees, let's see I still believe in polkadot and bsc as well. I know an exchange who uses these three.

That's right, Polkadot is a new project that could fail at any time, while ethereum will certainly not fail again because it already has a lot of enthusiasts and many places that are willing to accept it very well.

Indeed Polkadot is one promising interoperability project.  Like ethereum, it intends to add more superior Blockchain projects, perhaps. considering that one of the core ethereum teams is supporting the Polkadot project.  However, it can't be denied that ethereum plays an important role for many Blockchain projects that use Ethereum smart contracts, obviously there will be tough competition between polkaDot and Ethereum in progress and development

For now, Polkadot seems to be a better technology than Ethereum but the issue is that the two is too aligned, there is no way Polkadot succeeded at the scale of Ethereum that Ethereum won't lose its appeal to developers. Ethereum is still enjoying its first mover advantage for now but if the Ethereum 2.0 migration becomes successful then this is the end for all Ethereum competitors. I want to see developers being incentivize to build on other chains
