#EthereumFuture Founder of Cardano Charles Hoskinson recently criticized his own blockchain platform in an interview, pointing out the shortcomings of its economic model and consensus mechanism. He also expressed skepticism regarding layer two (L2) solutions, calling them 'parasitic' due to their dependence on the underlying blockchain.

Hoskinson noted that the economic model of Cardano requires improvement to ensure sustainable funding for development and long-term stability. Additionally, he questioned the effectiveness of the Ouroboros consensus algorithm, despite its scientific justification.

As for L2 solutions (such as sidechains or Rollups), Hoskinson believes that they create additional complexity and risks without providing sufficient value. In his opinion, scalability should be achieved by improving the base layer (L1), rather than through overlays.

The criticism from the project's creator sparked a discussion in the community. Some support his pursuit of improvement, while others see it as a sign of problems within Cardano. Nevertheless, Hoskinson emphasized that his goal is the development of the blockchain industry as a whole, even if it requires change.****
