Joke has gone too far
Casual Cardano and Solana Users Were Most Surprised When They See What Seemed Serious vote Launched by a community member from Solana. Users are voting on whether Solana should be included in Cardano as a sidechain.
In a vote launched by anonymous user HyRisk, users are voting on whether Solana should become a Cardano sidechain. At press time, almost 80% of users believe Solana should join Cardano instead of remaining an independent chain.
Charles Hoskinson joined the vote, saying that Solana representatives should speak up and join Ethereum competitor that recently celebrated the launch of on-chain bonds as part of active development to incentivize passive income on the network.
Could it really be possible?
Obviously, the Cardano creator and users from both camps are simply joking around, and there is no technical possibility for Solana to actually become a sidechain for a network like Cardano. Both networks utilize completely different mechanisms and algorithms at their core.
Technically, sidechains are used to increase the scalability of the network as their main goal is to process transactions to reduce the pressure on the mainnet. Solana, on the other hand, has a wide range of functions and solutions, apart from just being a processing part of Cardano.
Initially, the vote started as a joke, following the troublesome performance of what used to be an Ethereum killer. After the FTX implosion, continuous technical issues and the near-death of the NFT industry, Solana was no longer considered a real competitor to the second biggest cryptocurrency on the network, which is why users started looking for ways to find a better use for a slowly dying network.
