According to BlockBeats, on January 1, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that he has remained committed to the original roadmap throughout his decade-long contribution to the ecosystem. With the implementation of the Chang hard fork upgrade, Cardano is now under the control of community members. Hoskinson confirmed that his final responsibility is to remove any obstacles to this transition, ensuring that nothing disrupts the process.
Additionally, one of the most crucial aspects of initiating the Voltaire Age is the approval of budgets and charters. Despite the urgency, an insider previously accused the Cardano Foundation of delaying the approval process. However, Hoskinson emphasized that these plans must be approved next year.
He expressed his commitment to overseeing the achievement of this goal, regardless of any personal, economic, or professional consequences. Hoskinson remains optimistic that the community will soon have the genuine ability to determine Cardano's future, believing that the sacrifices made will ultimately be worthwhile.
