Cardano Foundation backs $80 million fund while pursuing enterprise adoption and growth.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is pushing for what he calls a “great migration” away from X, onto Discord. Stating that meaningful discussions about the blockchain can no longer happen on the platform.
However, the proposal has already divided the community, with some supporters warning that leaving X could hurt Cardano’s visibility at a time when ADA has already fallen nearly 35% over the past month.
Why Hoskinson Wants Shifts To Discord
In a recent post, Hoskinson revealed he has been speaking with EMURGO CEO Phillip Pon to create a dedicated Cardano Discord server.
According to Hoskinson, the goal is to build a place where discussions can happen without the constant drama, misinformation, and hostility that often dominate social media platforms.
While he plans to continue livestreaming on X, where he has nearly one million followers, he said future AMA questions will only come from the new Cardano Discord and the existing Midnight Discord community.
Community Members Warn of Potential Risks
Not everyone agrees with the plan.
The proposal immediately sparked concerns that Cardano could isolate itself from the broader crypto industry.
One community member, Patrick Tobler, warned that much of Cardano’s relevance comes from being part of the broader crypto conversation happening on X.
“The advantage of being on X is that all of the crypto and tech is here.”
Others warned that moving discussions into Discord could create an echo chamber where criticism is filtered out rather than addressed.
One user wrote that removing Cardano from “the greatest free speech platform in the world” does not inspire confidence in the network’s future.
Fortune Names Cardano Among Top Crypto Projects
Despite all of this, the Cardano Foundation is taking a more aggressive growth approach. Cardano was recently recognized by Fortune as one of 30 projects helping drive the digital asset industry forward.
The organization is also supporting expansion through an $80 million venture fund, boosting DeFi liquidity, and pursuing new enterprise partnerships to increase real-world blockchain adoption.
Despite this, Cardano ADA has struggled in recent weeks. The token is trading near $0.17, up about 3% over the past day but still down roughly 35% over the last month.
