According to Odaily, Input Output CEO Charles Hoskinson recently addressed the negative sentiment surrounding the future development of Cardano. He attributed the criticism to the impact of the new governance framework, Voltaire, which ultimately allows users to raise their concerns in a decentralized and open manner. Hoskinson stated, 'You may have noticed that the sentiment on X regarding Cardano has become more negative recently. This change is not a reflection of our project's failure but rather the expected outcome of Voltaire.'
The community has recently expressed concerns about the network's failure to meet expectations, partly due to the underwhelming performance of its native token ADA and development delays. Voltaire represents the final phase of Cardano's development roadmap. It aims to introduce decentralized governance and make the blockchain self-sustaining, enabling the Cardano community to propose, vote on, and fund projects using an on-chain treasury system.
