Cardano Founder Supports XRP Lawyers Who Advance To Become Senate Candidates

JAKARTA - The crypto industry is often divided by competition and differences of opinion between developers, users, and fans of a number of projects. On the other hand, there are also moments when the crypto community shows solidarity and support from each other, especially when facing common problems.

One of the latest examples is the support given by Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, to John Deaton, a lawyer and XRP supporter who plans to run as a candidate for US senator from Massachusetts. Hoskinson publicly expressed his support via Twitter, although he did not know Deaton personally.

This is a pretty rare move, considering Hoskinson usually focuses on Cardano development. In addition, the relationship between the Cardano and XRP communities is not always harmonious, due to differences in vision and approach in building crypto networks.

However, Hoskinson appears to see Deaton's potential as a representative of the crypto industry on the political stage, especially as Ripple has to face lawsuits from US regulators. By providing support to Deaton, Hoskinson shows an open and inclusive attitude towards other crypto projects that have a common goal, namely encouraging crypto adoption and innovation around the world.

Meanwhile, both Cardano and XRP continue to show progress and growth in their technology and ecosystem. Cardano recently launched a Alonzo hard fork, which brings smart contract functions to its network. This allows developers to create more diverse and sophisticated decentralized applications (dApps) on Cardano.

Based on a monthly Global Output Input (IOG) report quoted from U.Today, there are 160 projects that have been launched on Cardano, and 1,327 projects are in the process of being developed. The number of transactions on the Cardano network has also increased by 3.1 million in the past month.

On the other hand, XRP is also experiencing increased integration and use in various sectors. Ripple, which uses XRP as a liaison currency for international payments, has entered into partnerships with more than 300 financial institutions worldwide. In addition, XRP Ledger (XRPL), a blockchain running XRP, also supports real-world asset tokenization through projects such as Zoniqx and Axelar Network.

With these developments and collaborations, Cardano and XRP show that the crypto industry is not only about competition, but also about synergy and solidarity. These two projects contribute to creating a more inclusive, transparent, and sustainable future using blockchain and crypto technology.
