Cardano Founder Rejects Partnership with XRP
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has reiterated his stance on a potential partnership between Cardano’s ADA and XRP. In response to past remarks brought up by a member of the XRP community, Hoskinson explained that ADA will not partner with XRP due to two years of harassment from the XRP community. He also cited the lack of technical overlap and different product market fit as reasons why a partnership is unlikely.
Hoskinson emphasized that Ripple (potentially referring to XRP) was built for a different purpose compared to Cardano, Tezoz, Ethereum, Polkadot, and Algorand. He concluded that there is no logical connection between ADA and XRP.
Harassment by the XRP Community
Hoskinson addressed the issue of harassment he previously mentioned, stating that he does not foresee a partnership due to constant personal attacks, harassment, and an inability to have a conversation from the XRP community.
In 2022, Hoskinson stated that XRP provides no partnership or technical value and described the XRP community as toxic and petty. These comments were the basis for his recent statement when questioned about them by crypto researcher ABS.
ETH Gate Controversy
The discussion about ETH Gate also resurfaced after Hoskinson’s recent comment. Another member of the XRP community questioned him about his previous branding of the community as conspiracy theorists regarding ETH rumors. Hoskinson stood by his remarks about the conspiracy theory but clarified that it wasn’t relevant to the current issue.
Hoskinson’s comments suggest that he holds no ill intent towards XRP but simply believes that ADA and XRP are incompatible. He anticipates that many in the XRP community will misinterpret his comments and conflate them with the ‘free pass’ discussion.
