Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), has addressed the rising negative sentiment surrounding his project on social media.
He clarified that this shift in perception is not indicative of any failure on Cardano’s part but rather a result of the ongoing changes brought about by its governance system, Voltaire.
Hoskinson acknowledged the recent decline in Twitter sentiment, stating that it reflects the intended outcomes of Voltaire. He pointed out that years of unresolved issues, such as incomplete roadmap items and unfunded growth strategies, have built up due to the governance system’s inability to adapt to the ecosystem’s needs. However, with the implementation of Voltaire, he is optimistic that the new governance framework will address these challenges and support substantial growth.
Expressing his own frustrations, Hoskinson noted that he is aware of the requirements for Cardano Native Asset (CNA) projects like Midnight, specifically regarding custody and liquidity. He emphasized the importance of real governance that prioritizes ADA users and is confident that the ecosystem now possesses a robust governance model to facilitate new initiatives.
Hoskinson also highlighted Cardano’s commitment to transparency, contrasting it with other crypto projects that operate behind closed doors. He believes that this openness has made Cardano a target for criticism from rival projects.
Defending Cardano’s long-term vision, Hoskinson stressed that the project is focused on sustainable growth rather than short-term gains or market manipulation. He dismissed any association with traditional financial institutions, asserting that Cardano is not fading away but rather evolving and striving to remain a genuine cryptocurrency, free from the influence of entities like BlackRock and Wall Street.
