Solana has a higher Nakamoto coefficient (20) than ethereum (6). This means the lowest number of validators that would have to collude to censor the network is 20.

There are some legitimate advantages of ethereum (multiple independent validator software implementations) but decentralisation of the L1 isn’t one of them, even more so when you consider most ethereum transactions happen over centralized L2s.
