Cardano (ADA) Founder Charles Hoskinson Speaks Out Following the Rumors – “My Entire Focus Is on Cardano”
Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has made statements following the project's decline in popularity.
Charles Hoskinson made noteworthy statements regarding the governance process of the Cardano ecosystem and the future of the project.
In his assessment following the community governance process, Hoskinson argued that Cardano is not just a blockchain project, but also has a true governance model in which the community actively has a say.
Hoskinson stated, “Cardano is alive. The community is active, and that’s more important than any vote,” adding that ADA investors are not passive token holders but the true owners of the ecosystem. He emphasized that this is a fundamental part of Cardano’s founding vision.
Hoskinson, highlighting the importance of the ecosystem’s coordination power during critical periods for Cardano, stated that the organizations within what he calls the “Pentad” structure have successfully implemented significant integrations to date. This structure includes Input Output Global (IOG), EMURGO, Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect.
Hoskinson also announced that he has invited these organizations to a joint meeting to formalize Cardano’s future governance structure. In addition, he announced that he will be performing at the Cardano Summit in Singapore and will personally contribute to upgrading his TOKEN2049 sponsorship.
Hoskinson concluded his statement by saying, “My entire focus is 100 percent on Cardano and Midnight. It always has been. Let me prove it.”
