Charles Hoskinson co-founded Ethereum, but he left because the team didn’t listen to his ideas for building a better blockchain.
He didn’t give up. He created Cardano and introduced the Extended UTXO (eUTXO) model in 2021. This system makes transactions more predictable, faster to run in parallel, secure, and without endless state growth problems.
Now in 2026, Ethereum researchers are proposing native UTXO solutions to fix their network’s state bloat — exactly the kind of ideas Charles had years ago.
They didn’t listen back then.
They are now turning to the same innovation he built.
This is more than technology — it’s proof that staying true to your vision matters.
Charles walked away from Ethereum not because he failed, but because he wanted to build something greater. Today, the world’s second-largest blockchain is looking at what Cardano has been doing successfully for years.
Respect to Charles Hoskinson for leading the way.
Sometimes the best ideas come from those who dare to leave and build better.

We’re preparing to launch FluidTokens V4 this month, get ready to love Cardano DeFi 💙
The economic layer that can put idle Bitcoin to work will help define the next generation of DeFi and finance.
We are betting on Cardano and we need your support.👇

We started laying the foundations for a BTC<>ADA bridge more than one year ago.
First, Babel Fees.
Then BTC<>ADA atomic swaps.
Then years of work inside the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Those pieces are now coming together in BIFROST, watch this 👇

The more you look at BIFROST, the more everything makes sense 😤
→ It uses Cardano SPOs
→ It gives dApps free integration and a new $BTC asset to build with
→ It opens a path for Bitcoin liquidity to move into Cardano DeFi
Built by FluidTokens and @Lantr_io, but designed for Cardano itself.
Fluid’s next version moves lending closer to what larger capital needs: less manual execution, clearer timelines, and faster exits.
FluidTokens V4 is institutional heaven:
-Calendar View
-Auto-liquidations
-Stablecoin Markets
-Auto-compounding
Cardano’s ready for BIG DeFi 💙
You can sell your loan as an NFT instead of waiting for it to be payed by the borrower. 🤯
It’s called a Secondary Loan Market:
Every loan is represented by a Bond NFT.
If another liquidity pool accepts that same loan type, you can sell your Bond immediately at its current value and exit your position.
That means faster access to liquidity and more flexibility 💙
Fluid V4 is almost ready to be released this month 🎉
→ Automatic Liquidations
→ Automatic Coumpunding
→ Secondary Loan Market
→ Non-Transferable Borrower Positions
Audit’s already done, mainnet is coming 😤
BIFROST Catalyst milestones are almost complete!
We're on track to ship every milestone by late August.
Since Catalyst reviews milestones monthly, approvals happen on that cadence too.
More updates soon 💙
The first step for a unified Bitcoin and Cardano ecosystem has been made:
“Bifrost: Unlocking Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano” proposal is now onchain! 😤
Now it’s 🫵 time to vote
