According to WuSaid, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson criticized Ethereum’s current governance model in an interview in Singapore, believing that it is too dependent on the guidance of co-founder Vitalik, calling Ethereum a “dictatorship.”

He noted that blockchains can choose to keep the protocol simple, like Bitcoin, or “choose a king” to manage affairs. Hoskinson stressed that without Vitalik, the future of Ethereum would be unclear.

Vitalik played a key role in adjusting the Ethereum roadmap, especially in rollup and Layer2 network expansion. However, Hoskinson also admitted that although Vitalik has a great influence, he does not have absolute power in this decentralized network.
