## Key points

- Plomin gave ADA holders voting power in January 2025.
- ADA has fallen 86% from its late-2024 high.

## Summary

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the blockchain’s planned roadmap is complete, arguing that the network now governs itself and no longer depends on him. His remarks came during a livestream exchange with dissatisfied investors, amid a steep fall in ADA’s price and disputes over what he had previously said about Cardano’s prospects.

Cardano’s five roadmap eras ran from Byron’s 2017 launch through Voltaire’s governance phase; the Plomin upgrade in January 2025 gave ADA holders voting power. Hoskinson said the network had been built as promised, used by millions and reached four times Honda’s value, while rejecting responsibility for raising its token price. ADA peaked at $3.09 in 2021, fell to $0.25 in 2023, rebounded to $1.21 by late 2024 and has since dropped 86% to about $0.17.
