Cardano Founder Jokes About Solend Crypto Founder, Says He Wanted “Safely” to Use Solana
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson criticized the Solana blockchain’s recurring bug issues indirectly by mocking the Solend project founder.
Solana is a popular Proof-of-Stake (PoS) crypto network, primarily known for its highly scalable and efficient transactions, thanks to its unique Proof-of-History (PoH) protocol. However, over the past few years, the Solana network has struggled multiple times due to hidden and unknown blockchain code bugs.
On 15 Sep 2024, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik posted a satirical screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting that Singaporean customs arrested the founder of Solend (now Save Protocol), a Solana-based crypto project. The fake news humorously claimed the arrest followed an attempt to smuggle 20,000 condoms into Singapore, allegedly meant for Solana’s upcoming Breakpoint event scheduled in Singapore.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson joined the joke, commenting that the Solend founder simply wanted to “safely” use the Solana blockchain. Hoskinson humorously referenced both safe sex and the Solana network’s past blockchain code issues.
Cardano vs Solana
The rivalry between the Cardano and Solana blockchains has been significant ever since Solana’s popularity began rising.
People have frequently compared Cardano and Solana, often declaring Solana the winner due to its ability to process transactions at very low fees. On the other hand, Cardano’s network is highly stable and scalable as needed.
It is worth noting that both projects share the same vision but employ different strategies to push adoption. Solana focuses on paid promotions and hype, while Cardano remains focused on serious development without promotion.
