Charles Hoskinson has accused Ethereum of adopting ideas pioneered by Cardano without acknowledgment.<\/p>\n
The Cardano co-founder made the claim following a proposal by Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrst\u00e4tter to bring native UTXOs to the network as a way of cutting long-term state storage for payment transactions.<\/p>\n
According to Hoskinson, Wahrst\u00e4tter\u2019s research closely mirrors<\/a> concepts Cardano has been developing since its launch.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s literally a crime in the Ethereum inner circle to mention Cardano,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cEUTXO is the biggest innovation of the smart contract world and Ethereum cannot mention it as they literally try to copy it.\u201d<\/p>\n Wahrst\u00e4tter\u2019s proposal describes<\/a> a payment model that stores only a small \u201cspent\u201d marker in Ethereum\u2019s state while keeping the rest of the payment data in blockchain history. According to the research, this approach could reduce the permanent state required for payment workloads by as much as 99.8% without abandoning Ethereum\u2019s account-based architecture.<\/p>\n The proposal borrows the one-time payment structure used by Bitcoin\u2019s UTXO model while allowing Ethereum accounts and smart contracts to keep on operating. It also relies on the proposed EIP-8141 transaction framework to let users spend UTXOs without first holding ETH for gas fees.<\/p>\n Hoskinson followed up his post on X with a livestream on the same platform, where he read<\/a> a tweet by Wahrst\u00e4tter announcing the proposal and pointed out that it made no reference to Cardano despite his network spending years solving many of the engineering problems that Ethereum is now exploring.<\/p>\n \u201cFor ten years, we\u2019ve worked on extended UTXO, smart contracts on UTXO,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wrote a paper called Chimeric Ledgers to show how to run these two systems in parallel.\u201d<\/p>\n He argued that Ethereum developers had in the past dismissed UTXO-based smart contracts as impractical before now putting similar ideas on their long-term roadmap.<\/p>\n During the livestream, Hoskinson expanded his criticism beyond Wahrst\u00e4tter\u2019s proposal, claiming that Ethereum has been regularly adopting ideas after dismissing them when they first appeared on Cardano.<\/p>\n Some of the areas he claimed such behavior had happened in included Cardano\u2019s governance system and treasury model, which he said the Ethereum Foundation had been forced to drift toward after\u00a0losing<\/a> staff and money.<\/p>\n He also suggested that Ethereum would look to revisit Cardano\u2019s work on privacy and post-quantum cryptography through IOHK\u2019s privacy-focused blockchain project, Midnight, as well as its early embrace of formal verification tools like Lean. According to him, Ethereum will eventually adopt both without acknowledgment as well.<\/p>\n This is not the first time Hoskinson has used a livestream to vent about how he or Cardano is being treated. In June, he announced<\/a> plans to move the Cardano community away from X and onto Discord, saying the social platform had become dominated by hostility and personal attacks. However, he said that he would keep using X for livestream broadcasts, the exact same format he used today to make his case against Ethereum.<\/p>\n The post Charles Hoskinson Says Ethereum Is Adopting Cardano Ideas Without Credit<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Charles Hoskinson has accused Ethereum of adopting ideas pioneered by Cardano without acknowledgment.
