On January 1st, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, emphasized his unwavering commitment to the ecosystem over the past decade, insisting he has remained aligned with the original roadmap. Following the recent launch of the Chang hard fork upgrade, governance has transitioned to community members, marking a significant milestone in the network’s evolution. Hoskinson reinforced his dedication to removing barriers to this transition, asserting, “absolutely no one or nothing will disrupt this process.”
A pivotal step towards initiating the Voltaire Age is the formal approval of the treasury and constitution. Despite pressing timelines, concerns have been raised regarding delays attributed to the Cardano Foundation. Hoskinson addressed these issues, asserting that both proposals must be finalized next year. He pledged to personally oversee this achievement, stating he will do so “regardless of the personal, economic, or professional consequences.” His belief in the community’s ability to steer Cardano’s future reflects a broader ethos of decentralized governance.
