Cardano Founder Clarifies His Take on Ethereum Governance
Replying to recent headlines by the Cointelegraph, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson articulated his perspective on Ethereum’s governance structure. During his explanation, Hoskinson emphasized that while Vitalik Buterin is a central figure in Ethereum’s decision-making process, the blockchain also relies on a broader community and the Ethereum Foundation for major decisions.
Hoskinson’s critique stems from a concern over what he perceives as a top-heavy governance model, which he believes contrasts with the decentralized approach of Cardano’s new governance model.
Hoskinson further explained that his remarks were intended to highlight structural challenges within Ethereum’s governance, rather than direct criticism towards Vitalik Buterin personally. He noted that although Buterin’s influence is significant, it does not equate to absolute control.
Concurrently, he noted that decision-making involves various stakeholders within the Ethereum community.
