Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson entered into a controversy with the co-founders of the Solana project, who criticized Cardano for being too cautious and slow in development.

A Twitter user recently tagged CharlesHoskinson in a tweet from a podcast uploaded about 10 months ago. Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal took part in it, criticizing the Cardano developers for being “slow.” The presenters of the program asked them to list blockchains in order of priority, and Yakovenko named Cardano second to last, joking that now it is “fashionable to talk bad things about Cardano.” In response, Hoskinson wrote to them the following:

“The main criticism of Cardano is thatdevelopers carefully write software when billions of dollars from millions of users are at stake, and thousands of organizations rely on the infrastructure for income. Then it’s time for these guys to build a hospital,” Hoskinson wrote.

There is some irony in the fact that ten years latermonths, users remembered this podcast because the Solana network had gone down several times this year. Just recently, Solana experienced an outage again – block production on the network stopped for 6 hours. Hoskinson reminded the Solana co-founders of this situation. He posted a link to a video for them showing how to repair old video game consoles and joked that "it might help them."

One user asked Hoskinson if he thought excessive arrogance couldplay a cruel joke on him, as happened with Do Kwon and his Terra project?To this, Hoskinson replied that nothing in the world is completely safe.However, Solana supporters and LUNA investors have mercilessly ridiculed Cardano for trying to do things right, using independent evaluation and formal methods to avoid such problems.

A few days ago, Hoskinson said that projects that grow too quickly are doomed to failure, and the collapse of Terra can be considered a significant example of “the collapse of the system after a sharp peak.”
