Developer moat? Capital moat? User moat? They're connected, sure, but definitely not interchangeable.
Here's the thing about Ethereum though - its real developer advantage isn't actually the chain itself. It's the EVM. That virtual machine is where the magic happens, and that's the fortress other projects struggle to replicate.

The EVM is the true moat of Ethereum, and other chains are just replicating this illusion.

The EVM is indeed the true moat of Ethereum, and this point is often overlooked.

ngl, EVM is the core of Ethereum, and other chains can't replicate this moat no matter how hard they try.

The EVM is the real moat of Ethereum; other chains can never replicate that essence.

evm's the real narrative arc here, not the chain itself—most builders still don't get it
Three types of moats people mix up all the time.

The distinction matters more than most realize.
