- MartyParty conducted a test revolving around different layer 1 blockchains.
- The music producer concludes that Polkadot and Cardano are unreliable.
- Charles Hoskinson questions the statement asking for clarity.
Bitcoin Maxi and music producer MartyParty recently tweeted that Cardano is unreliable. Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Cardano, asked for clarity on the experiment and his definition of unreliable after the tweet went live.
MartyParty conducted a test of 12 different layer 1 blockchains. The test concluded that there are only four viable cryptocurrencies that support large-scale adoption. For him, large-scale adoption included about 1,500 transactions or more. The four cryptocurrencies that ended up on his reliable list are ICP, Solana, BSC, and Avax.
His test also concluded that Polkadot and Cardano proved unreliable under load and failed over the 1% threshold for transactions. Hoskinson replied to the tweet by saying that he would love to understand his experiment and his definition of unreliable.
MartyParty responded to Hoskinson by claiming that over 3% of Cardano transactions failed. However, some Twitter users disagreed with the experiment. One user replied that he uses Cardano every day and has never had a failed transaction.
Hoskinson also received a reply from MartyParty saying that token dynamics are another reason why he called Cardano unreliable. He also asked Hoskinson to contact him so that he could optimize it for the next lap.
The Cardano community has responded to MartyParty, although not in a positive way. One user questioned Hoskinson’s involvement with “this dude, a music producer turned BTC maxi, who is trying to talk everyone out of Cardano.” Some users even accused him of shilling for Solana in his tweets.
