Monero has slammed Input Output Global’s data protection blockchain, deriding the idea that it has a backdoor for regulators, in a tweet today.

 “Use Cardano Midnight if you want to use a ‘privacy’ blockchain with a backdoor,” Monero wrote.  It asserts that Monero remains the preferred option for users who want privacy without “shenanigans.” Monero went on to write, “Shame on you,” IOG.

Several Cardano users have slammed Monero for jumping to conclusions based on a third-party report. For example, one user noted that waiting and reading the white paper is better. Midnight is still in development, and IOG will release more information as work continues into 2023, according to a tweet from the company yesterday.
