Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Steps Into the Spotlight to Defend His Blockchain Project

input: Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has stepped into the spotlight again, this time to defend his blockchain project. A recent wave of criticism questioned Cardano's accomplishments

Crypto founder Charles Hoskinson has hit back at critics who claim Cardano has achieved nothing since its launch in 2017. One X user said another should "ask Charles what has Cardano achieved" in response to a post highlighting some of the early days of Ethereum with founder Vitalik Buterin and co-founder Charles Hoskinson.

The conversation began when X user @TheCryptoCenter posted a throwback to when Buterin and Hoskinson were part of the Ethereum team. In the post, Buterin is seen discussing the creation of Ethereum and its purpose.

Still relevant today.

"It's not about replacing Bitcoin. It's about offering a new type of blockchain with greater capabilities and programmability, enabling developers to launch applications effortlessly."

This was the vision of Ethereum’s founders, Vitalik Buterin and Charles Hoskinson, back in 2014.

Their goal was to bridge the gaps left by Bitcoin’s limitations. But differences in direction led them to part ways, paving the way for the respective chains to diverge and flourish in their own ecosystems.

As Buterin focused on forging ahead with Ethereum, Hoskinson set out to build Cardano with a broader academic and research framework.

Their journey serves as a testament to the enduring pursuit of innovation in the blockchain space. Their vision—to empower developers and create a more decentralized web3—continues to inspire and drive the industry forward.
