The Ethereum Foundation's new charter outlines the principles of subsidiarity, value preservation, and a path toward achieving self-sustainability, which has sparked a strong response from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. He argues that this document is merely catching up to the on-chain governance mechanisms that Cardano has already established, which were formally enshrined at a conference at the University of Buenos Aires in 2024. Hoskinson proposes linking Ethereum with the university and emphasizes that Cardano's constitutional committee, which possesses veto power, is a key distinction between its model and Ethereum's trust-based approach.
