Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano 
$0.724448, criticized the Solana 
$237 network while praising the Sui network as a better alternative. Despite his admiration for Sui, Hoskinson emphasized that Cardano maintains its leading position in the blockchain ecosystem, providing reasons to support his viewpoint.
Cardano Founder and Solana
In a post on the X platform, Hoskinson stated that Sui should be the network replacing Solana. This assertion suggests that, despite Solana being one of the top layer 1 blockchains, Sui is a superior choice. He expressed satisfaction in witnessing the contributions of George Danezis to Sui’s early development and extended his wishes for their success.
This is not the first time Hoskinson has criticized Solana. As comparisons between Cardano and Solana persist, he previously commented that Solana, despite having a robust ecosystem, lacks true network value. Additionally, during a network outage in February, he humorously suggested that developers needed to restart the network to resolve the issue.
Cardano Remains Number One
Despite praising Sui, Hoskinson asserts that Cardano remains the leading blockchain in its field. Although various metrics like notable applications and user engagement may not fully justify his claim, he confidently stated, “Cardano is still number one. With decentralized governance and a promising roadmap, it leads the way.”
While he acknowledged that Sui possesses genuine innovations, he reiterated that Cardano’s approach is superior for many reasons. The recent Chang Hard Fork transitioned Cardano into the Volatile Era, focusing on decentralized governance, and Hoskinson believes this upgrade will help Cardano continue to thrive in the coming years.
Hoskinson even claimed that Cardano would surpass Bitcoin 
$90,711, arguing that while Bitcoin stagnates, Cardano realizes Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision and more. Another highlight in Cardano’s roadmap is the Midnight protocol, which, having recently launched its testnet, offers privacy solutions that could enhance Cardano’s value proposition.
In conclusion, Charles Hoskinson’s critiques of Solana and his praises for Sui reflect ongoing competition within the blockchain ecosystem. His hope is that Cardano continues to stand out with its decentralized governance and innovative projects.
