The tweet included a screenshot of a March 17 post by “Zac,” a World Mobile Token (WMT) official.
This initial cheep, which criticized Cardano and its native tokens (CNT), was later clarified by World Mobile official. He admitted that his initial criticism was not well articulated and was directed solely at the CNT business environment.

World Mobile’s response
Recognizing the need for intervention, Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Token, known as “Mr. Telecoms” on social media, stepped in to dispel the rumors, aiming to quell the FUD generated and set the record straight.
Watkins stated: “A previous series of tweets from a World Mobile contractor does not reflect the views of World Mobile. We have always taken a multi-chain view, continually supported by IOHK. You will have the freedom to move your WMTX between chains as you wish, including stay on Cardano. Together, we are unstoppable.”
Cardano founder puts an end to speculation
Hoskinson amplified Watkins’ message, reinforcing the strong partnership between Cardano and World Mobile.
The creator of Cardano highlighted World Mobile’s position as a global leader in decentralized infrastructure. He expressed enthusiasm for the integration of World Mobile’s technology with Cardano’s partner chain framework, which aims to connect the unconnected, including places like Wyoming.
He stressed the importance of this multi-chain initiative, which combines legacy systems with cutting-edge infrastructure to create the most advanced and secure Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the world.
The recent clarification and show of support from both World Mobile and the founder of Cardano have helped dispel misinformation and reaffirm the collaborative vision of both projects.
