Charles Hoskinson Ethereum Classic

Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of the Cardano blockchain protocol, finds that Ethereum Classic is a dead project. He shared this opinion while responding to a user tweet on the rejection of his recent proposal to make changes to the ETC's treasury fund. The Cardano executive recommended changing block reward allocation in a way that blocks allocate a portion of every reward to a newly created decentralized treasury. The protocol would use funds for further developments.

However, the community rejected this proposal. Responding to allegations that the proposal aimed to implement miner tax and milk ETC, Hoskinson said the goal was a sustainable development fund. He added that the project makes him sad for what it could have been. According to Hoskinson, ETC is a dead project with no purpose or real compelling argument to exist outside of spite.

Meanwhile, Ethereum Classic continues its development. In the last 24 hours, the Ethereum Classic price increased by 19% and now hovers near $40.
