  • A developer’s thoughts on Ethereum’s staking mechanism stirred controversy in the community.
  • Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson capitalized on the opportunity to laud his network. 
  • Charles Hoskinson’s comments further intensified the rivalry between the two networks.

Charles Hoskinson is often at the forefront, highlighting Cardano’s superiority over its more established rivals like Ethereum, particularly regarding network fees, security, smart contracts, and staking processes. 

These factors have become a significant point of contention between the two networks, with Ethereum’s infrastructure frequently coming under scrutiny at the hands of Hoskinson. In the saga’s latest episode, the rowdy founder took a swipe at Ethereum’s staking mechanism, further intensifying the rivalry between the networks. 

Hoskinson Gets the Last Laugh

Recently Justin Drake, an Ethereum Developer, drew scrutiny for his thoughts on Ethereum’s staking process. In a podcast, he reasoned that he hadn’t staked much of his Ether (ETH), claiming, “When you make sausage, you know how it’s made,” implying that a deeper understanding could reveal less appealing aspects of the network’s staking mechanism. 

The analogy made rounds on Crypto Twitter, with many growing concerned about Ethereum’s staking mechanism. The developer’s action aligned with Founder Vitalek Buterin, who has also avoided staking his tokens for security purposes and potential conflict of interest.

With the community riled up by Drake’s comments, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson also chimed in to fuel the fire. The rowdy crypto pundit, known to have staked all of his ADA, took a jab at the network in an “I told you so” moment, recalling past instances when Ethereum developers mocked Cardano’s staking infrastructure. 

It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Hoskinson has thrown mud at Ethereum. He has previously compared the network’s staking model to unconventional things, including a dumpster and classic rock hit Hotel California.
