Meanwhile, as Cardano enters this new phase, its founder, Charles Hoskinson, has engaged the community in a unique way. Following some recent public criticism, Hoskinson launched a poll on X asking, “Is Charles Hoskinson a cancer for Cardano?”

As of now, the vote is nearly split, with the “no” responses holding a narrow majority at 51% to 49%. However, the poll has sparked diverse reactions across the community. Some prominent $ADA supporters have defended Hoskinson and suggested the poll results might be influenced by bots or external factors.
