Ethereum pioneered smart contracts and decentralized finance. JIL was built from the ground up for institutional settlement -- zero gas, built-in compliance, and post-quantum security.
They can coexist: JIL bridges natively to Ethereum via its 14-of-20 SCN validator bridge. Institutions can hold wETH-JIL, wBTC-JIL, and wUSDC-JIL wrapper tokens on JIL while maintaining Ethereum L1 exposure. Ethereum excels at permissionless innovation. JIL excels at regulated institutional settlement.
