According to U.Today, a recent misunderstanding involving the Cardano community and World Mobile Token (WMT) has been clarified. The confusion began when Rick McCracken, a notable Cardano Stake Pool Operator, shared a tweet from a Cardano community member questioning the relationship between Cardano and World Mobile. The tweet contained a screenshot of a March 17 post by an official from World Mobile Token, known as 'Zac', which criticized Cardano and its native tokens.
Zac later clarified his initial tweet, stating that his criticism was not well expressed and was solely aimed at the trading environment for Cardano's native tokens. Despite the tweet being deleted, the screenshot continued to circulate, causing speculation and uncertainty within the Cardano community.
In response to the growing concerns, Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Token, intervened to dispel the rumors. Watkins emphasized that the views expressed in the controversial tweets did not reflect the stance of World Mobile. He reiterated the company's commitment to a multichain vision, supported by IOHK, and assured users of their freedom to move their WMTX across chains, including staying on Cardano.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, also stepped in to end the speculation. He reinforced the strong partnership between Cardano and World Mobile, highlighting World Mobile's role as a global leader in decentralized infrastructure. Hoskinson expressed enthusiasm about the integration of World Mobile's technology with Cardano's partner chains framework, which aims to connect the unconnected. He stressed the significance of this multichain initiative, pairing traditional systems with innovative infrastructure to create the world's most advanced and secure Internet Service Provider.
The recent clarification and show of support from both World Mobile and Cardano's founder have helped to dispel the misinformation and reaffirm the collaborative vision of both projects.
