Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), denied rumors that developer IOG would abandon Cardano, reaffirming his commitment to the ecosystem's development.

According to a report by virtual asset media outlet The Crypto Basic on April 9 (local time), Hoskinson stated that recent allegations of IOG's departure, raised by some in the community, are unfounded. Some investors raised concerns that IOG was reducing its focus on Cardano development while concentrating on partner chain development, such as Midnight.

Hoskinson explained that the claims of IOG leaving Cardano are a result of misunderstanding the ecosystem's governance transition process. He explained that it is merely a process of Cardano transitioning into the Voltaire era, moving towards a community-driven decision-making system, and IOG's technical support will continue. IOG, as the core development entity of the Cardano network, is implementing upgrades according to the roadmap without any setbacks.

The introduction of decentralized governance through the Chang hard fork is a strategic choice by IOG to distribute power to the community. Hoskinson stated, "We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade for Cardano," adding, "We will remain with the ecosystem until the end, not just as a development company, but as a member of the ecosystem." Midnight also plays a supplementary role in expanding Cardano's security and functionality, and it is not an independent alternative.

IOG is currently focusing its resources on improving network scalability and enhancing smart contract functionality. It has increased development transparency through cooperation with Intersect, a community governance body. Hoskinson predicted that Cardano's technical robustness and community cohesion would be key drivers for value appreciation.

The Cardano ecosystem is undergoing governance system reorganization in preparation for entering the Voltaire era. IOG plans to continue establishing technical standards and managing core infrastructure to support network stability. Hoskinson's recent remarks served as an opportunity to stabilize investor sentiment, which had been shaken by concerns over development cessation.
