Cardano (ADA) co-creator Charles Hoskinson is giving a shoutout to one of Solana’s (SOL) biggest competitors.
Posting to his 979,000 followers on the social media platform X, Hoskinson says that layer-1 platform Sui (SUI) is earning its spot in the crypto ecosystem.
“Reading about Sui. It’s good to see George’s work come to life. They deserve great success in the space.”
Hoskinson is referring to George Danezis, one of the main designers behind the Sui blockchain and a co-founder of Mysten Labs, the development firm backing and supporting Sui.
Hoskinson says that Sui is “what Solana should have been,” and while he still thinks Cardano is superior, he believes that Sui has “some real innovations.”
Says Hoskinson,
“If you look at the design of Sui, there is real research and there’s a real team that’s behind it. Not commenting on the distribution, the tokenomics, how they’ve launched, all those things. I haven’t looked at those things, nor do I care about them. I don’t hold any Sui, and I’m not involved with the project in any way. So I dispassionately look at these things to say ‘Is there any interesting innovation that has occurred?’
Because it’s important for us as an ecosystem to see what we can collaborate on.”
Although Hoskinson lauds Sui for the project’s solid fundamentals, he says no layer-1 protocol has surpassed Cardano.
“For those wondering, Cardano is still number one. It’s not even close with decentralized governance and all the amazing roadmap items coming.”
At time of writing, Sui is trading at $1.92, up over 10% on the day.
