Overview
- Charles Hoskinson said he is coordinating a “great migration” with EMURGO’s Phillip Pon to build a dedicated Cardano Discord and shift core community discussion off X.
- Hoskinson will continue livestream broadcasts on X but said future AMA questions will be accepted only from the new Cardano Discord and the existing Midnight Discord.
- The announcement on June 11 follows weeks of governance disputes that included DReps voting down a 7.8 million ADA treasury proposal and the cancellation of the Cardano 2026 Summit.
- Developers and projects have reported strain during the same period with TapTools and JPG Store announcing shutdowns and on-chain data showing dormant ADA wallets moving after recent price weakness.
- Market and regulatory timelines remain important because CME launched ADA futures on February 9, 2026 which could satisfy a six-month futures test for a streamlined U.S. spot-ETF review by August 9, 2026.
