Is Charles Hoskinson Leaving Cardano? What “My Job Is Done” Really Means

Charles Hoskinson told Cardano holders this week that his job is done. The roadmap is complete, he said, and the original contract behind the project has ended. Within hours, half of crypto Twitter was asking the same thing: is Hoskinson leaving Cardano? The real story is a little more awkward than a clean exit. I wrote a full profile of Charles Hoskinson a month ago. Back then, he was still the loudest voice in the ecosystem. So this post covers what he actually said, why people read it as a goodbye, and my own view on where it leaves ADA.
