It is worth mentioning that&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/cardano-creator-shuts-down-ethereum-feud-grow-up-and-move-on" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Charles Hoskinson</a>, the figure who created Cardano, took notice of the discussion. He threw his support behind the Leios protocol over the Rust node and explained how important this is for the future of the network.
The Leios protocol is a new and exciting way to improve the Cardano blockchain. It builds on the Ouroboros Praos consensus and is a great example of how we can make the blockchain even more decentralized, while also increasing its speed.&nbsp;
In Hoskinson's words, Leios promises to achieve a comparable increase in transactions to Solana throughput without sacrificing the core decentralization principles of the Cardano network.
<blockquote>
 The rust node gives us no new differentiating features for users. Leios makes us faster than Solana without losing decentralization...— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1835436214734012428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 15, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
The new protocol decouples the validation of blocks from the act of extending the blockchain. This introduces a new concept of input endorsers, which unlocks new use cases and expands Cardano's capabilities beyond what is currently possible.

Solana's consensus mechanism allows for faster processing, but it comes at the expense of decentralization. The Leios protocol has the potential to not only match but surpass Solana's performance while keeping the network's foundational structure intact.&nbsp;
What makes Leios special is its ability to combine high-speed functionality with the strict security standards you would expect from a decentralized blockchain.&nbsp;
This balance could be crucial for Cardano as it continues to grow in a competitive market, where scalability and speed are essential.
