Cardano Foundation Accused of Internal Politics and Growth Suppression, Hoskinson Responds
- Allegations of internal politics and governance issues within the Cardano Foundation have sparked debates, with Hoskinson agreeing with some of the whistleblower’s concerns.
- Despite the controversy, Cardano’s ADA token shows resilience, and the protocol remains focused on innovation like Hydra Doom to enhance transaction handling.
Following allegations from an anonymous whistleblower about internal politics and mismanagement, the Cardano Foundation (CF) is under scrutiny. Published by prominent community member Big Pey, the email accuses CF of undermining the constitutional process through delays and a lack of commitment.
Despite previous revelations shared in a CNF update on Cardano’s future, these unexpected allegations have drawn a response from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. In a recent tweet, he acknowledged some of the whistleblower’s concerns:
It’s been a long and difficult road, but I do agree with some of the sentiments of the whistleblower. I honestly have no idea if the CF will vote against the community constitution or budget. It has been extraordinarily frustrating, and yes, intersect should have been the CF.
The whistleblower also criticized the organization’s leadership for limited engagement in projects they cannot fully control and weak representation in approving CIP-1694. These revelations have sparked broader discussions about decentralization and governance within the Cardano ecosystem.
Hoskinson Acknowledges Concerns
Hoskinson expressed doubt about CF’s support for the proposed constitution and highlighted leadership challenges within the organization. He also acknowledged that some members of the Cardano Foundation harbor negative sentiments toward him.
Despite these issues, he pointed to the protocol’s ongoing advancements, such as Hydra Doom, which aims to improve transaction handling.
ADA Price Shows Resilience
Analysts suggest that ADA could see further gains, potentially reaching $4, as market momentum continues to build. Despite internal challenges, Cardano remains focused on innovation and ecosystem development.
While the controversy unfolds, Cardano’s ADA token has demonstrated market resilience. Following recent sell-offs, ADA’s price has rebounded to $1.14, surging 13.01% in the past day despite a 4.99% decrease over the past week.
