The post Charles Hoskinson Ridicules Solana, Taking Rivalry Up a Notch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Charles Hoskinson took a shot at the Solana blockchain on X. Hoskinson shared a fake article by Nansen CEO about Solend founder’s arrest. Solana and Cardano remain at war with both ranking among the top blockchains. Charles Hoskinson, the creator of the Cardano (ADA) blockchain, took a playful jab at the Solana community on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the ongoing rivalry between the two Ethereum scaling blockchain networks. In the X post, Hoskinson shared a screenshot of a satirical article posted by Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik, which joked the founder of Solend, a DeFi platform on the Solana blockchain, was arrested in Singapore for reportedly smuggling 20,000 condoms to the city-state!

Svanevik joined in the fun, comparing the situation to “bringing 20,000 steaks to a vegan festival!” While lighthearted, Hoskinson’s comment underscored the challenges Solana has faced with outages and protocol issues, exaggerating the idea that the Solend founder was prepared with 20,000 condoms before using the SOL network.
