Cardano (ADA) has been one of the best blockchain projects so far. The organization runs on three different arms to make it a tremendous decentralized blockchain protocol. Three different bodies behind Cardano: IOHK – headed by Charles Hoskinson, oversees the software development of the blockchain network, Emurgo, manages the upcoming projects under developments by Cardano; and Cardano Foundation – led by Micheal Parson, takes charge of Cardano’s ecosystem.
However, despite being governed by three different bodies, there seems to be a significant conflict in the blockchain project’s camp. Hoskinson recently via an open letter accused the Chairman of Cardano Foundation of carelessness, prejudice, and misuse of Cardano funds.
Hoskinson stated that the Foundation Chairman had been the obstacle towards the progress of it. In a video, the head has urged the community to support the movement towards the sacking of the Foundation chairman.
Further, in Cardano’s open letter, Parson was accused of neglecting his chairmanship obligations. Firstly, Parson employed his colleagues and relatives with little or no knowledge and qualifications to show.
The open letter further stated that cases of fraud were also found on Parson during his time as the chairman of Cardano Foundation. He as well has been accused of staying away from his duties as a Chairman of the foundation, of which he doesn’t interact or chat with the community.
After the open letter was passed out by Cardano, the community has gone to support the movement by raising a petition, and it states:
“If you are a believer in the Cardano vision, an investor in the Cardano venture, or if you simply believe, regardless of the loose regulation of the crypto space, that we still deserve crypto leaders to be accountable and to be brought to justice, then you should sign the petition to help us to raise our voices and make Mr. Parsons take appropriate action.”
Cardano’s CEO, Hoskinson, replied via an interview (a video one) and reported that Parson’s negligence is affecting badly. Hoskinson has further stated that Emurgo and IOHK have been taking the bulk of the work to make sure the cryptocurrency still stands.

He also emphasized on the laxity of the foundation chairman stating that Cardano was called upon to Ethiopia for striking a good deal but couldn’t actualize. On the other hand, Cardano’s Foundation accused its other two bodies of trying to boycott the agreement. Hoskinson said,
“We just lost it at that point and we said, “Look, we are not going to work with you guys on any capacity until you publish a fair use policy” [….] This is what our relationship has been like for the past year, where they haven’t really collaborated or cooperated with us on a lot of things, they spend money in odd ways which have no purpose to the ecosystem”
The CEO of Cardano also talked on the ‘unconcerned nature’ of Parson as he said,
“For two years, he didn’t even put ‘Chairman of The Cardano Foundation’ on his LinkedIn page.”
Hoskinson noted that its new members in the foundation should be elected and the best option for Parson is to tender his resignation. Meanwhile, despite the launch of several projects on Cardano’s network such as Cardano crypto-debit card, Rust SDK, and Yoroi Wallet, the CEO stated that there are more projects to come that will boost ADA value in the future.
Now, whether the CEO and community will be able to make the chairman step out or not, remains a question. And yeah, nobody knows how much damage he might do before the rest of the Cardano army (the CEO and community) succeeds. Would the fear cause investors of stepping back from ADA, and ultimately affect its price? We all will get to know that shortly.
