Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed he participated in a call with Blockstream CEO Adam Back, who criticized Ethereum's ledger design and praised Bitcoin's UTXO model for avoiding certain distributed-systems issues. Back claimed he warned Ethereum's early developers about these problems, but details of the discussion remain unclear. The debate highlights differences between Bitcoin's UTXO model, Cardano's extended UTXO (eUTXO), and Ethereum's account-based model, with no clear winner established. The conversation focuses on technical architecture rather than user or transaction metrics for Cardano or Ethereum.
