Cardano's Hoskinson Built "Nothing" for Ethereum, Vogelsteller Claims

Ethereum co-founder Fabian Vogelsteller recently took to Twitter to dispute the contributions of Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, to the Ethereum project.

In a tweet, Vogelsteller stated that Hoskinson "was never really a founder of Ethereum" and that he "built literally nothing for Ethereum that I am aware of."

The crypto veteran went on to suggest that only he and Gavin Wood, the creator of Polkadot, should be recognized as Ethereum's true founders alongside Vitalik Buterin.

Vogelsteller's comments came in response to a tweet that listed the market capitalizations of various blockchain projects created by original Ethereum Foundation members, including Cardano, Polkadot, and Lukso.
