<p>Charles Hoskinson, founder of blockchain platform <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=cardano" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano</a>, recently engaged with an online detractor who criticized the network’s development roadmap. In a series of posts, Hoskinson defended Cardano’s ongoing work on key upgrades like Hydra and Mithril.</p> 
<p>The interaction occurred on social media platform X, where a user made several predictions meant to undermine Cardano’s technical direction. They speculated that Hoskinson would soon abandon work on scaling solution Hydra while pivoting to other tools like input endorsers.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's getting delusion town now. Hydra is live on mainnet and evolving fast. Mithril is live as well and the first step towards a rich DA and light client strategy. We already designed a significantly better way of handling transactions via tiered pricing and Babel fees. <br><br>There's… <a href="https://t.co/2cJa8ivJGu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/2cJa8ivJGu</a></p>— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1692154392806298000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 17, 2023</a>

<p>However, Hoskinson firmly <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1692154392806298000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">rejected </a>this, stating that both Hydra and Mithril are actively being implemented and improved. He specifically cited Hydra’s mainnet launch and Mitrhil’s role in enabling light clients and delegation mechanisms.</p> 
<p>The critic also accused Hoskinson of copying Ethereum, a platform he co-founded, while harboring animosity toward the project. In response, Hoskinson pointed out Ethereum’s own limitations around consensus and programming that Cardano aims to solve.</p> 
<p><strong>“We are living rent free in the maxi minds. I pity them,” concluded Hoskinson, referring to extremists who zealously favor one blockchain above all others.</strong></p> 
<p>The heated but relatively civil debate exemplifies how Hoskinson actively engages with Cardano supporters and detractors alike via social media. Fans appreciate his transparency and commitment to rational dialogue.</p> 
<p>However, Hoskinson’s direct style can be off-putting to some. Either way, Cardano’s growing community of developers and users continues steadily building out the network, cementing its status as a top blockchain protocol.</p>
