Cardano Founder Lays It Out: Tough Times Ahead for the ADA Ecosystem in the Second Half of the Year Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson mentioned in a video that the second half of this year will be very challenging for Cardano. The ecosystem might see more DApps and DeFi projects collapsing, followed by a phase of consolidation. He also responded to claims blaming him for ADA's price drop: he stated that he doesn’t hold governance keys, can’t initiate hard forks, can’t modify protocol parameters, can’t access the treasury, and doesn’t even own the Cardano trademark. This doesn’t sound like market reassurance—it feels more like a warning to the community: the end might be near. cardano:native
