Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Sparks ADA Vs. ETH Rivalry With This Claim

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the tech and crypto industries, I’ve witnessed the evolution of numerous projects, including Ethereum and Cardano. The recent exchange between Charles Hoskinson and the Ethereum community is an interesting development that sheds light on the dynamic nature of this space.


In a strong assertion, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has pointed out that Ethereum appears to have taken their project plan. This significant claim was made following Ethereum’s 9th anniversary celebration, which received widespread praise in the market. This statement by Charles Hoskinson further highlights the competitive spirit between these two systems.

Initially, a pioneer in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) pointed to a post by Lefteris Karapetsas, creator of the Rotki app. This post from X contained a labeled image showing participants at Ethereum’s launch day event. Interestingly, Charles Hoskinson was not among those pictured based on the names listed in the photo.

As a seasoned cryptocurrency enthusiast who has been in the game since its inception, I can confidently say that the evolution of the crypto landscape has been nothing short of remarkable. I remember leaving my day job back in June 2014, drawn by the potential of this new technology and the promise it held for a more decentralized future. Little did I know that I was embarking on an exciting journey that would lead me to witness the birth of projects like Cardano and Ethereum.

Among those present were Vitalik Buterin, co-creator of Ethereum, along with his companion Gavin Wood, inventor of Solidity, and Christian, creator of Solidity. In a hinting manner, Cage remarked, “Ah, but where is Charles Hoskinson?”

In response to the sarcastic statement, the Cardano founder explained that he left the group in June 2014. Then he added “…..The world has Cardano now, and Ethereum gets to borrow our roadmap. Worked out for everyone.”

The discussion unexpectedly shifted towards the side-by-side analysis of how Cardano and Ethereum have fared historically. Cage presented graphs to bolster his claim that Ethereum has outperformed Cardano. Yet, the supporters of Cardano were unwilling to entertain any such points.

One X user pointed to the fact that members of the Ethereum ecosystem are only out to pick a fight with Hoskinson for engagement.

Ethereum Displays Excellent Performance

The intense competition among digital currencies has been fueled by Ethereum’s strong market standing. In just a week since Spot Ethereum ETFs started trading, it has gained significant popularity. Despite the recent price drop, there is anticipation for an Ethereum surge following the ETF launch. If this occurs, Ethereum might surpass other digital assets, even Bitcoin (BTC).

Approximately 28.1% of Ethereum’s total supply is now being staked, reaching an unprecedented high (all-time high or ATH). This surpasses the previous milestone of around 27% that was achieved a few months back. Moreover, this significant increase indicates a positive outlook among investors in the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Because more Ethereum (ETH) is being staked, the amount of Ethereum on centralized exchanges dropped to a five-month low of about 17 million, which means only 10% of ETH remains on these platforms. This data shows that Ethereum has had impressive results, but it doesn’t take away from Cardano’s accomplishments. In other words, the success of Ethereum is evident, but so is the achievement of Cardano.
