Cardano founder: Leios' new upgrade will achieve "Solana's speed + Bitcoin's decentralization"
Cardano founder Charles In a recent interview, Hoskinson revealed details of the upcoming Leios upgrade, directly challenging Solana.
Hoskinson confidently announced that the Leios upgrade will bring a perfect fusion of "Solana speed and Bitcoin decentralization", and particularly emphasized Cardano's excellent stability without downtime for seven years.
This statement seems to refer to Solana, after all, Solana has suffered 13 major network outages since the mainnet beta was launched in 2020.
Hoskinson explained in detail the technical principles of Leios. This system greatly improves throughput while maintaining the advantages of the UTXO model through innovations such as parallel verification of transactions and optimized memory pool design.
Hoskinson proudly stated that the Cardano network currently has more than 1,000 distributed nodes, which is twice the number of members of the U.S. Congress.
In addition to technical upgrades, Cardano also holds a $1.5 billion community fund, which also provides sufficient financial guarantee for its development.
When talking about the current state of the industry, Hoskinson showed his confidence in the current market. He pointed out that although the number of Cardano's DApps and TVL are growing steadily, they are often underestimated by the outside world because they do not participate in short-term speculation such as meme coins.
The founder pays more attention to long-term value, especially mentioning the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem that Cardano is laying out. In the future, it may even be possible to use BTC to pay for handling fees on the Cardano chain, which may make it the core hub of the UTXO public chain.
With the advancement of the Leios upgrade, Cardano seems to be taking a different development path. That is, instead of pursuing short-term hot spots, it focuses on the robust iteration of infrastructure.
This game between "speed and stability" may be reshaping the value standard of the blockchain industry.
While most projects are simply pursuing TPS (transactions per second) numbers, Cardano has chosen a more challenging, but perhaps more sustainable development path.
In short, it is undeniable that Hoskinson and his team are trying to prove that in the blockchain world, "fast" and "stable" are not incompatible!
