- Recently, one of the co-founder of Ethereum blockchain said that the Cardano founder did “nothing for Ethereum.”
- Fabian Vogelsteller seemed like he didn’t believe in the working and any contribution of Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson.
Charles Hoskinson has built his own blockchain platform, Cardano and also worked as a co-founder of Ethereum blockchain. He continuously showed his efforts towards the development of his blockchain. Still, one of his old colleagues or a co-founder of Ethereum blockchain, Fabian Vogelsteller didn’t think that Hoskinson had really done anything for Ethereum blockchain.
Vogelsteller’s Lack of Trust on Cardano’s Founder
Fabian Vogelsteller has done work related to dApps and smart contracts on Ethereum blockchain. Last weekend, he shared a tweet where he retweeted an old post. That old tweet included the foundation members of Ethereum blockchain who have built their own blockchains. Besides Vitalik Buterin, the post included Charles Hoskinson, Fabian Vogelsteller, and Gavin Wood. It must be noted that Hoskinson has developed Cardano, Vogelsteller built LUKSO, while Wood has developed Polkadot blockchain.
The father of the ERC-20 token, Vogelsteller wrote in his tweet that he wanted to correct the picture of Ethereum’s founding members. According to him, as a founder Buterin “doesn’t count,” while Hoskinson “was neer really a founder of Ethereum.” He also added that Hoskinson has built literally nothing as he is aware of.
Hoskinson was “just early on at the right place, at the time, hanging out,” and that’s why Vogelsteller doesn’t think the Cardano founder should be in that picture of Ethereum foundation members. Along with Polkadot founder, Vogelsteller thinks they are better “fitting.”
Vogelsteller continued as his saying is factual, “no matter what anyone likes or not.” He has been part of Ethereum since the beginning of the blockchain network. Thus he knew “very well” what and when anyone showed their contributions. As he said, the main work that lifted off Ethereum network was done in the time period from “end of 2017 till now.”
At last, Vogelsteller wrote he doesn’t say anything about Cardano founder’s skills and contributions to the space or anything about him as a person. That he can’t judge.”
The Response of Cardano’s Founder
In response to Vogelsteller’s tweet, the founder of Cardano responded in a sarcastic way. He firstly thanked him then wrote that he “suppose Switzerland just materialized out of the ether and as he is incompetent, he likes to meet people behind Cardano.”
Charles Hoskinson also added about the patent filing and all the open sources that he is busy with innovating.
Over the response by Hoskinson, Vogelsteller once again made his reply as he meant “no offense” on the skills and work of Cardano founder. That was “purely a reference to Ethereum.” He also added that he didn’t “plan to initiate any blockchain drama.”
As per the data sourced from CoinMarketCap, there are a total of eight co-founders of Ethereum blockchain, that clearly includes Charles Hoskinson.
