Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson has accused Flare founder Hugo Phillin of leveraging Cardano’s identify for reasonable media consideration.
Philion not too long ago took to X (previously Twitter) to argue that Flare has surpassed Cardano in basic DeFi metrics regardless of Cardano’s huge six-year head begin.
Philion identified that Cardano, which launched in 2017, has been “attempting and miserably failing” to repeat Flare’s technique. He particularly expects Cardano to fall quick in terms of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
“Cardano has far decrease stats throughout the board in DeFi than Flare regardless of having a large head begin and no less than sooner or later an unlimited treasury,” Philion wrote.
He additional claimed that Cardano won’t “win BTC,” claiming that Flare is positioned to dominate by making a unified DeFi layer for bridged belongings like FXRP, FBTC, and FXLM, alongside real-world belongings (RWAs) and stablecoins.
“So 2022”
Hoskinson, who’s well-known for fiercely defending his community towards business critics, rapidly dismissed Philion’s assertions as a determined ploy for relevance.
“Attacking Cardano to get consideration and media is so 2022,” Hoskinson retorted. “You must replace your advertising and marketing technique. Possibly do TikTok response movies?”
Philion responded hours later, denying that his preliminary put up was an assault. He claimed he was merely citing goal on-chain information from the analytics platform DeFi Llama.
He then took one other jab at Cardano’s historic growth tempo, sarcastically providing Hoskinson a sneak peek at Flare’s future roadmap.
“Wasn’t an assault – simply numbers from DeFi Llama, but when I learn between the strains of your message, others had been attacking Cardano in 2022 and regardless of that little has materially modified?” Philion mocked. “Would you want an advance copy of our 2027 technique so that you may give {that a} whirl too?”
