Cardano Founder Attacks Internet Computer

In a recent social media exchange that caught the attention of the cryptocurrency community, Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, offered a sarcastic comment. answer to a boastful social media post from Dfinity.

Dfinity highlighted a significant improvement to its Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), stating that its container smart contracts can now hold a huge amount of 400 GiB in stable memory.

This upgrade, they noted, is capable of storing around 17.4 million Ethereum smart contracts, or the entire Cardano blockchain, twice.

Hoskinson humorously responded: “Thanks for stockpiling Cardano. You can always use that container to rebuild ICP if you ever need it.”

Inside technology: Internet Computer containers

Internet Computer, Dfinity’s ambitious blockchain project, aims to revolutionize the way decentralized applications (dapps) are run.

Their latest advancement involves “containers,” which are essentially high-capacity smart contracts. These containers allow developers to deploy dapps written in multiple languages ​​as WebAssembly modules.

Unlike traditional software containers, these containers don’t just run code; They also store application state, significantly improving the efficiency and scalability of the blockchain applications they host.

Dfinity and Cardano

In April 2022, Dfinity welcomed a familiar face from the Cardano field, Eva Oberholzer, as its new Chief Growth Officer. It was a strategic move aimed at propelling the Internet Computer into the mainstream. Hoskinson’s congratulatory message back then was apparently a sign of the respect these blockchain projects have for each other.

In 2021, Hoskinson welcomed Dfinity to the “big leagues” in a social media post.

Fast forward to early 2024, the Internet Computer project is gaining traction and the ICP token now surpasses Shiba Inu in market performance.
