Cardano founder and its former director of architecture are discussing Elon Musk’s rumored plan to integrate DOGE into Twitter
John Woods, Cardano’s former director of architecture and now CTO at Algorand, believes that it would be “a real shame” if Elon Musk integrated Dogecoin into Twitter, apparently thinking that Cardano and Algorand’s original coins are a much better candidate for this.
Innovative part of DOGE in question
Woods responded to the tweet of Cardano and IOHK founder Charles Hoskinson, published on Friday, that since Elon Musk now has Twitter entirely in his hands, there could be a real possibility that Dogecoin would actually be merged with the platform somehow.
Woods tweeted that it would be a “real shame” given the huge amount of engineering and innovation in the Cardano and Algorand chains, basically indicating that DOGE hasn’t seen much innovative development in its 10-year history of existence. Is.
Cardano’s recent technical achievements
As a reminder, this fall, Cardano has implemented two long-expected upgrades — Alonzo, which brought smart contracts to this network — and Vasil after being delayed from June due to major technical difficulties. Vasil hard fork was implemented shortly after Etherum’s Merge, which moved the second largest blockchain to proof-of-stake tracks, making it less energy-consuming.
Vasil has made Cardano more efficient and cost-effective due to Plutus 2.0 – a new version of the programming language created specifically for Cardano.
Hoskinson on Twitter, DOGE and Elon Musk
The Cardano founder and CEO responded to Woods’ tweet about his grudges that DOGE might be integrated on Twitter, rather than on ADA or Algo. Hoskinson provided a version of why Elon Musk might be doing what he is doing: paying $44 billion for Twitter and perhaps integrating DOGE later on.
Hoskinson likened it to building a building in a place where a person would be very fond of seeing. They’ll build regardless of how many blows they hit – “terrible soil, snake problem, fast road, flood,” etc.
Still, in one of his comments to his root tweet, Hoskinson said that he believes DOGE should be a sidechain of Cardano. He stated that he would provide migration free of charge and would even add smart contracts to DOGE.
