PANews reported on April 25 that Helius Labs CEO Mert responded to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson's statement that "Ethereum cannot survive in 10 years" in a post on the X platform. Mert said that although he did not like some of Ethereum's features, it was far from "pure concept vaporware (only concept but no substance)", and sarcastically said that Hoskinson should first reach 10% of Ethereum's level in any indicator before criticizing Ethereum.
