Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has signaled a shift in how he wants the Cardano community to interact online.Â
In a recent statement on X, Hoskinson revealed that he is working with EMURGO CEO Phillip Pon to create a dedicated Discord platform that could become a new hub for Cardano discussions.
According to him, the initiative aims to encourage a large-scale migration of community members from X to a more structured and moderated environment.
A Push for More Constructive Discussions
Hoskinson argued that the proposed Discord server would provide a healthier atmosphere for Cardano supporters. He described it as a space with well-moderated channels where members can focus on meaningful discussions instead of the conflicts he believes now dominate X.
His comments reflect growing frustration with the platform, which he characterized as being filled with drama, misinformation, constant outrage, and negativity. In his view, moving the Cardano hub from X to Discord would help the community focus more on collaboration, governance, ecosystem development, and productive dialogue.
Not Leaving X Completely
Despite advocating for the migration, Hoskinson clarified that he is not abandoning X entirely. He noted that he still has over a million followers on the platform and will continue to use it to broadcast livestreams and share important updates. However, he plans to change how he engages with the community.
Under the proposed arrangement, AMA sessions would no longer source questions from X. Instead, Hoskinson said he would only accept AMA questions from the new Cardano Discord server and the existing Midnight Discord community.Â
Recent Ecosystem ControversiesÂ
The development follows Hoskinson’s temporary exit from X after controversy surrounding the shutdown of TapTools and the cancellation of the 2026 Cardano Summit. At the time, many users interpreted his message as a sign he was leaving the ecosystem entirely.Â
However, during an X broadcast on June 4, he dismissed those claims, reaffirmed his commitment to Cardano, and indicated that his frustrations were directed at X rather than the ecosystem itself.
In his latest remarks, Hoskinson also addressed criticism from users who interpreted his continued livestreams on X as evidence that he had reversed plans to distance himself from the platform. Responding to those claims, he stressed that broadcasting on X does not mean he intends to participate in discussions there.
Community Reaction Remains Divided
Meanwhile, the proposal has sparked mixed reactions within the community. Supporters praised the move and expressed interest in joining the Discord server once it launches. However, critics argued that the transition could reduce open debate and limit broader adoption.
In the meantime, Hoskinson is hosting a surprise AMA session on X to address community questions regarding the proposed migration of the Cardano hub from X to Discord. Â
