Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Braces for Backlash Post-Chang Hard Fork

Simon Njenga 2 August 2024

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), has hinted that the upcoming Chang hard fork—a significant milestone upgrade for the blockchain, could provoke detractors and critics of the ecosystem. In a recent post on X, Hoskinson reacted to a Cardano fund beneficiary’s query about Cardano’s contentious reputation within the blockchain community.

At Bitcoin Nashville 2024, I asked a knowledgeable expert:

What gives Cardano its 'black sheep' reputation among other blockchain projects?

Do you know the answer?
I think you know.

Hoskinson on Cardano’s “Black Sheep” Reputation

At the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, a Cardano fund beneficiary, elraulito (@ElRaulito_cnft), inquired about the source of Cardano’s “black sheep” status among blockchain projects. Hoskinson’s response shed light on his perspective regarding the community’s perception of Cardano.

Hoskinson acknowledged that throughout Cardano’s evolution, he has often been blamed for the ecosystem’s issues. His cryptic query, “What will you guys talk about after Chang?” suggests his anticipation of further criticism post-upgrade. This comment has sparked a debate among community members. Some believe Hoskinson is prepared for inevitable backlash from critics who seem determined to fault him regardless of outcomes. Conversely, others argue that the anticipated Chang hard fork could silence his critics by delivering substantial improvements.

Chang Hard Fork: A Revolutionary Leap for Cardano

The Chang hard fork is poised to be a transformative update in Cardano’s history, introducing the most advanced governance system to date. Recently, U.Today reported the release of Cardano Node 9.1.0, a preparatory step for this major upgrade. The Chang hard fork is the first in Cardano’s Voltaire era, which aims to unlock new potentials within the blockchain through decentralized decision-making processes.

This upgrade is not just a technical enhancement but a foundational shift for Cardano, setting the stage for more robust and democratic governance within the ecosystem. The development team underscores the significance of this upgrade, highlighting it as a crucial step toward achieving Cardano’s long-term vision.

Anticipation and Skepticism

As the blockchain community awaits the Chang hard fork’s launch in August, opinions remain divided. Supporters are hopeful that the upgrade will reinforce Cardano’s position and validate Hoskinson’s leadership. Meanwhile, skeptics are poised to scrutinize the outcomes, ready to voice their critiques.

Regardless of the mixed sentiments, the Chang hard fork represents a pivotal moment for Cardano. It is an opportunity to showcase the blockchain’s capabilities and potentially shift the narrative surrounding its “black sheep” reputation. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether this milestone can indeed meet expectations and quell the criticisms that have long shadowed Cardano and its founder.
