Cardano and Solana Founders Signal Bridge Partnership After Years of Tribal Warfare

Charles Hoskinson and Anatoly Yakovenko have agreed to build a bridge between their blockchains, potentially ending years of hostility between the Cardano and Solana communities. The collaboration comes as both tokens consolidate at critical technical levels.

Sometimes the most interesting crypto developments happen not in code, but in tweets. Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson and Solana (SOL) co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko have apparently agreed to build a bridge between their blockchains, which is kind of a big deal given that their respective communities have spent years arguing about whose network is better.

Ending the Tribal Warfare

Yakovenko threw the first olive branch on X, declaring that fighting with Cardano or XRP is "bearish" for the entire crypto space. When someone mentioned "wADA sprint" (referring to Wrapped ADA), Yakovenko didn't hedge. He explicitly endorsed it, telling developer @0xMert_ to "get Ada bridged to Solana and set up some liquid markets."

That single comment was apparently all it took to light the fuse. A heated debate erupted between pro-Solana and pro-Cardano camps before the founders themselves could even finalize anything.

The Volume Wars Heat Up

A pro-ADA user jumped in arguing that Solana should actually bridge to Cardano instead, claiming Solana DEX traders were down. The Solana camp wasn't having it. They fired back, mocking the argument and claiming Solana has superior DEX volume while Cardano's on-chain activity is "dead."

One Solana supporter pushed back hard on bringing SOL to Cardano, saying Cardano has "almost 0 volume" and arguing that Solana already has plenty of liquidity via Bybit and other centralized exchanges. He dismissed bridging SOL to ADA as a "non-sequitur."

A Cardano advocate wasn't about to let that slide. He rejected the claim, asking why a Cardano-native token was doing nearly 4x Solana's volume, then added a sarcastic "are you the marketing department?" He later clarified that while he dislikes Solana, he supports interoperability because a direct bridge would avoid routing through Base.

Despite all the bickering, Yakovenko replied to the interoperability idea with a simple "Let's do it." Then Hoskinson quote-tweeted the interaction with "Time to get cooking."

And just like that, years of tribal warfare might be coming to an end. Or at least taking a break.

ADA Eyes Breakout From Ascending Triangle

ADA is down 1.7% on the day after carving out a tight consolidation near multi-week lows. The token has formed an ascending triangle pattern since hitting $0.35 on December 19, with rising lows and flat resistance around $0.3850-$0.39.

The Supertrend indicator sits at $0.3841, converging with the triangle's upper boundary, while SAR dots at $0.3599 mark support. Both indicators are hovering near current price, signaling the trend is at an inflection point.

Critical resistance stands at $0.3850-$0.39. A clean break above this level targets $0.41-$0.42 initially, with $0.44 representing more substantial overhead supply. Support sits at $0.36 (SAR level), followed by $0.35, which marks the December low. A breakdown below $0.35 invalidates the bullish setup and exposes $0.32-$0.33.

The setup favors a bullish resolution given the higher lows and compression near resistance, but confirmation is required. Traders should watch for a 4-hour close above $0.3850 to validate the breakout.

Solana Builds Base Above $120

SOL is down 1.2%, consolidating within a critical support zone after rejection from $144-$145 Fibonacci resistance earlier in December. The token has been grinding sideways between $123-$128 for several days, building a base above $120.

The Supertrend indicator at $129.85 remains just above current price, keeping the immediate trend neutral-to-bearish. However, the RSI at 45.81 has stabilized above oversold levels, suggesting selling momentum may be waning.

A breakdown below $123 would likely trigger stops and expose the December low at $116.65. Resistance stands at $130 and the Supertrend level, followed by $134-$135 (0.5 Fib) and $138-$139 (0.786 Fib). The ultimate resistance for any sustainable rally remains at $144-$145, the recent high that aligns with the 1.0 Fibonacci extension.

Both tokens are at interesting technical junctures, and the bridge announcement could provide the catalyst either one needs to break out of its current range. Whether the communities can actually get along long enough to see it happen is another question entirely.
