Early infrastructure decisions cast long shadows. For instance, Ethereum’s choice of PoW initially secured the network but necessitated a complex transition to PoS. Similarly, Solana’s pursuit of speed via vertical scaling compromised decentralization. Protocols must weigh immediate needs against long-term adaptability, embedding flexibility where possible while acknowledging that some choices—like consensus mechanisms—are foundational and irreversible.
