PANews reported on November 24 that Solana co-founder Toly said in response to questions from community members: "ZK is slower than traditional computing. Therefore, since there is no religious reason to limit the capacity of full nodes, Solana is always faster than ZK." In response, Alex Gluchowski, CEO of ZKsync developer Matter Labs, responded: "ZK is always faster than Solana because it is protected by mathematics rather than validators, which means that one or a few validators (for redundancy) are sufficient, and there is no need to wait for consensus among thousands of nodes."
