Coinspeaker Why Charles Hoskinson Wants Cardano Foundation to Relocate from Switzerland
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has recently asked the Cardano Foundation to consider its relocation from Switzerland to other jurisdictions like Abu Dhabi and Wyoming wherein it would allow users to choose their board members.
Charles Hoskinson made this pitch in his recent social media post on the X platform asking Cardano community members to question the Foundation about its board structure as well as the decision-making process. As per the current arrangement, the Swiss government appoints the board members without any inputs from the community.
Sharing concerns over such an arrangement, the Cardano founder encouraged the community to ask questions about individuals involved in the Foundation’s past decisions and its connection with Intersect.
Hoskinson also criticized the Foundation for continuing to stay in Switzerland, while simultaneously proposing other crypto-friendly jurisdictions like Wyoming or Abu Dhabi having inclusive governance models.
According to the Cardano founder, this approach would enable the community to work with the Foundation on creating a new structure that promotes transparency and encourages member involvement. He added:
“The foundation shouldn’t be in Switzerland. There are many jurisdictions that allow for different DLT foundations like Abu Dhabi or Wyoming. The community could design with the CF a new structure, and the CF could grant the funds to this structure.”
Founded in 2016, the Cardano Foundation operates under Swiss law, which does not permit community-based board elections. Despite efforts to enhance transparency through open forums, there are ongoing calls for a restructuring of its leadership. The Foundation is planning to host an X Spaces series where its senior leadership will offer more insight into its operations.
