‘Roadmap is Complete,' Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Says
Summary
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said the project’s roadmap is complete and that the network is now decentralized, with governance operating without his control. In a livestream, he rejected claims that he had promised ADA would surpass Bitcoin, saying he had expressed a belief in its potential rather than guaranteed outcomes. Hoskinson argued that investors’ frustration reflects expectations of price gains, not unfinished development. Cardano’s five roadmap eras culminated in the Plomin hard fork in January 2025, which enabled ADA holders to vote on the network’s future. ADA remains far below its 2021 all-time high, recently trading around $0.17 after a steep decline.
