Charles Hoskinson just poured his heart out on Spaces.
He has no power to unilaterally fix Cardano, gets zero love, catches every single blame for failures, and watches his funding proposals get rejected by the same people who then complain nothing improves.
This man is getting crushed under undeserved hate while carrying the weight of the entire project he built from nothing.
Cardano community it’s time to wake up.
Unify, support the founder and the team whose vision created this entire foundation, or watch it slowly die.
No more toxicity.
#Cardano $ADA @IOHK_Charles
If you're a Cardano holder, please repost this immediately.
We've come to an absolute defining moment for ADA.
In the next 48 hours, the proposals that fund Cardano development are being decided.
While the #2 chain in crypto loses their builders or researchers, Cardano can keep theirs, at one of the most critical times of the altcoin cycle.
Cardano has come this far. It can not stop here.
DReps, think about the impact here.
Holders, make your voice heard.
Cardano has just entered a conversation that could grow a lot over the next few years: native internet payments for AI agents and services.
The network is now officially part of the x402 standard, the HTTP-based payment protocol originally developed through Coinbase. And on Cardano, it adds an extra layer: Masumi as an optional standard for identity, refunds, disputes, logging and registry.
This is not a trader headline.
It is an infrastructure headline.
💙Like if you think it matters for Cardano to be present there from the beginning.

JUST IN: Fast food giant Steak 'n Shake announces "when we use bitcoin, we save 50% on processing fees vs a traditional credit card user." 👀
"If every credit card user used bitcoin, we would save roughly $6 million annually. Which is huge" 🙌
Crypto hacks have drained billions. #Cardano $ADA just dropped Blaster, a game changing tool that mathematically proves your smart contracts are secure. 👇
It takes real compiled code and automatically verifies it against the actual ledger rules. No other Layer 1 can do this end-to-end. Provably safe contracts = the future. Cardano is building it.
