Charles Hoskinson and Ethereum devs engage in war of words after Vasil upgrade

Hoskinson called the Ethereum merge a flawed PoS implementation, saying guard staking would create problems for the network in the long run.< /p> New

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and co-founder of Ethereum, has entered into a war of words with Ethereum developers over the implementation of proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus via the Ethereum merger.< /p>

On Sunday, Web3 investor Evan Van Ness shared an unpopular opinion, saying the Ethereum merger could have been shipped sooner. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin agreed with Van Ness' comments and said they should have implemented an NXT-like chain-based PoS consensus.

Hoskinson joined the conversation, saying Ethereum developers should have implemented the Snow White protocol to ensure a faster migration to PoS.

You should have implemented Snow White with help from Elaine. It would have saved you a lot of pain and effort.

Snow White, a protocol that Hoskinson has advocated for years, is one of the first protocols to provide formal proofs of end-to-end security for a PoS system. But Hoskinson's response opened a Pandora's box, which then led to a heated debate between the Cardano founder and Van Ness, as well as other Ethereum developers

Hoskinson claimed that his ideas for technical upgrades on the Ethereum network from 2014 are still better than what the Ethereum network upgraded to release Merge. Van Ness quickly reminded Hoskinson that he was fired from Ethereum within six months due to his poor behavior and lack of meaningful technical input.
