On June the 25th, Charles Hoskinson, founder and chief executive officer of IHOK, the company behind Cardano, wrote a Tweet to Justin Sun, Tron’s founder, with an unusual recommendation. Hoskinson said that Tron should use the mantis client instead of Ethereum Java. But is Tron going to accept the proposal?
Cardano’s Proposal to Tron
The tweet wrote by Charles Hoskinson reads as follows:
“@justinsuntron you guys should use our mantis client instead of Ethereum Java github.com/input-output-h… the code is much better, security audited and consensus is pluggable for a DPoS style protocol.”

This is a quite strange proposal. Why would Cardano (ADA), a direct rival to Tron (TRX) in the cryptocurrency market, would like to help Tron growing?
Well, there are some projects that could mutually benefit if they help, and this has been proved in different industries in diverse time periods. For example, Boeing and Airbus have been exchanging technology several times, in order to keep competitive and the most important airplane manufacturers in the world.
How would Tron react to this proposal made by Cardano? Well, we already have the answer from Justin Sun, who decided to show interest in what Hoskinson proposed.
On June the 27th, Justin Sun answered that he will be looking to build the best blockchain technology and Mantis can be taken into account for future developments.
Tron has been working in order to completely separate from the Ethereum’s network and launch its own mainnet. With this offer made by Cardano and its team, it is possible for Tron to analyse different blockchain solutions and implement the one that ends up being the most advanced and functional for the network. Mantis would help giving space and a higher level of awareness which is very important to gain part of the market that now is owned by Ethereum.
At the moment of writing this article, Cardano is the 8th most important virtual currency in the market with $3.24 billion dollars’ market capitalization. Tron, instead, is the 11th virtual currency by market cap with $2.54 billion dollars.
