#EthereumFuture In a bold and no-holds-barred AMA, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has once again fired shots at Ethereum â and this time, itâs personal!
⸝
đ¨ Hoskinson Critique:
He called Ethereumâs consensus mechanism a âdumpster fireâ and slammed its programming model as âterribleâ and resistant to innovation.
đĽ Ethereumâs Response (2025 Reality):
Ethereum has made massive strides post-Merge. The upcoming Pectra upgrade (mid-2025) introduces:
⢠EIP-7702: Smart contract-enabled wallets with account abstraction
⢠EIP-7251: Increased validator staking for better network health
⢠EOF & PeerDAS: Cryptographic and scalability enhancements for rollups
These reflect active innovation â far from âresistantâ â and Ethereumâs consensus is now cleaner, greener, and more secure than ever.
⸝
đ§ Hoskinson Critique:
Ethereumâs Layer 2 solutions (like rollups) are âparasiticâ, allegedly draining users and fees without helping the main chain.
đĽ Ethereumâs Response:
Layer 2s like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base are scaling Ethereum to tens of thousands of TPS, while anchoring back to mainnet for security.
⢠PeerDAS in the Pectra upgrade will optimize rollup data availability, making L2s even more symbiotic.
⢠Meanwhile, rollups are bringing millions of users and billions in TVL, supercharging Ethereumâs ecosystem.
Thatâs growth, not parasitism.

đ Hoskinson Critique:
Ethereum is a âdictatorshipâ, steered by Vitalik Buterin and a small dev elite.
đĽ Ethereumâs Response:
Ethereum governance is increasingly community-driven, with open-source EIPs, core dev calls, and research discussions involving global contributors â not just Vitalik.
Vitalik himself often steps back to let the community lead, and upgrades like EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) came from collective collaboration.
Itâs not a one-man show â itâs a global effort.

đ As of April 25, 2025:
⢠Ethereum (
$ETH ): $1,795.20
⢠Cardano (
$ADA ): $0.7151
⸝
đĽ Whether youâre team ETH or team ADA, one thingâs clear â the race for blockchain supremacy is FAR from over. With Ethereum doubling down on real-world adoption and scalability, and Cardano pushing its own innovations like Hydra and Mithril, the crypto space is more alive than ever.
Let the debates beginâŚ
Which future are YOU betting on?
