Cardano Founder And ETH Developer Get Into A Verbal Fight On Twitter

A Twitter thread last week revealed a series of heated discussions between Cardano founder and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Amid some backlash caused by the expiring Ethereum upgrade, the co-founders are discussing implementing a POS consensus mechanism. A lot has happened in the past few days after the Ethereum upgrade. There is also something like an upgrade for Shanghai in the future.

On Saturday, September 24th, Web3 investor Evan Van Ness expressed his opinion on the Ethereum merger. Van claimed his final ten days after the merger were proof that the merger should have happened sooner.

After seeing Van Ness’s tweet, Buterin agreed with Van Ness, stating that they should have implemented a chain like NXT based on POS.

Charles Hoskinson Claims Ethereum POS Is Bad Design

Hoskinson I participated The Buterin-Van Ness conversation says we need a Snow White protocol to ensure a faster POS transition. Hoskinson’s opinion did not sit well with others, resulting in an argument between him, Van Ness, and other of his Ethereum developers.

Snow White is a protocol that provides end-to-end security proofs for POS systems. Hoskinson is a longtime Snow White supporter. Hoskinson argued that his ideas for technical upgrades to his Ethereum network in 2014 were better than the current ones.

Van Ness remembered Hoskinson has been removed from Ethereum for his bad behavior and lack of notable technical contributions.

Ouroboros is a secure proof-of-stake blockchain and the first peer-reviewed research-based protocol. He also said the current version of the Proof of Stake upgrade is poorly designed.

In their allegations, Ethereum core developer Hudson Jameson responded to Hoskinson’s claims of the Ouroboros implementation. He said he was.

I think Charles forgot the history of Reddit and how sick he was with Ethereum while building Cardano. Additionally, Vitalik reviewed Ouroboros a while back.

Because of your attitude and actions as the face of Cardano, Ethereum developers do not want to pay attention to Cardano. https://t.co/QB3QYRKkm5 pic.twitter.com/daX56FfwGv

The Ethereum developer also spoke about how Hoskinson abused Ethereum while creating Cardano. He also said that Vataric reviewed Ouroboros.

Charles Hoskinson on Cardano’s success

Hoskinson boasted that Cardano did not rely on cryptocurrencies for its success and has grown to billions without mass adoption.

A similar argument between Hoskinson and Ethereum developers is nothing new, but it shows just how far apart the two blockchains are.

Both the Ethereum network and Cardano are undergoing intensive upgrades, but Hoskinson is known for his bullish views on previous projects.

The Cardano Vasil upgrade and hard fork took place on Thursday, September 23rd. Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), the blockchain company behind Cardano, announced the successful upgrade on Twitter.

IOHK said the hard fork upgraded the network to block transmissions without full verification, allowing for faster block creation. The Plutus smart contract upgrade was to increase efficiency and run decentralized applications at a lower cost.
