Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson has hit out at critics poking holes into the network’s long-term future, citing its decentralization and innovative streaks as positives. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson argues that Cardano has a viable blueprint for scaling transactions, giving it an edge over its contemporaries. While the enigmatic founder appears coy on the long-term plan, short-term plans for the network are well articulated. Right out the bat, Hoskinson points to the incoming Chang hardfork touted as a solution to blockchain’s trilemma. Described as the biggest hardfork since the Vasil upgrade in 2022, Chang is expected to improve Cardano’s decentralization, allowing ADA holders to decide on the network’s direction.
