#ADA Cardano founder: Leios's new upgrade aims to achieve "Solana's speed + Bitcoin's Decentralization

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson revealed details about the upcoming Leios upgrade in a recent interview, directly challenging Solana.
Hoskinson confidently announced that the Leios upgrade will bring a perfect fusion of "Solana speed and Bitcoin decentralization," and particularly emphasized Cardano's outstanding stability with seven years of no downtime.
This statement seems to imply Solana, as Solana has experienced 13 major network outages since the launch of its mainnet test version in 2020.
Hoskinson detailed the technical principles of Leios, a system that significantly enhances throughput by innovating parallel transaction validation and optimizing memory pool design, while maintaining the advantages of the UTXO model.
Hoskinson proudly stated that the Cardano network currently has over 1,000 distributed nodes, which is double the number of members in the U.S. Congress.
In addition to technological upgrades, Cardano also holds a $1.5 billion pet community fund, which provides ample financial support for its development.
When discussing the current state of the industry, Hoskinson expressed dissatisfaction with the current market hype atmosphere. He pointed out that despite the steady growth in the number of DApps and TVL for Cardano, it is often underestimated by outsiders for not participating in short-term hype such as meme coins.
This founder values long-term potential more, specifically mentioning the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem that Cardano is building, and in the future, it may even enable payments of fees using BTC on the Cardano chain, which could make it the core hub of UTXO-based public chains.
With the advancement of the Leios upgrade, Cardano seems to be taking a unique development path. That is, it does not pursue short-term hotspots, but focuses on the robust iteration of its infrastructure.
This game between "speed and stability" may be reshaping the value standards of the blockchain industry.
While most projects are simply pursuing the number of TPS (transactions per second), Cardano has chosen a more challenging but potentially more sustainable development path.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that Hoskinson and his team are trying to prove that in the blockchain world, "fast" and "stable" can coexist!
