On Sept. 1, 2024, Cardano's Chang hard fork marked a pivotal upgrade for the blockchain, transitioning governance from centralized entities to a community-driven model. This change allows ADA token holders to propose and vote on network modifications, aiming to boost community engagement and enhance network security.
Following the hard fork,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1830712558351004020?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1830712558351004020%7Ctwgr%5E96e8aa7eefbae3e0976f0c8756da7ba7a9184839%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FIOHK_Charles%2Fstatus%2F1830712558351004020" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Charles Hoskinson</a>, the founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/cardano-ada-can-fall-another-90-adam-back-predicts" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano</a>, addressed future plans for the blockchain. This response, however, was met with skepticism from some ADA critics.&nbsp;
One critic questioned the value of the "new hard fork's so-called pre-mined air token," as he called ADA, with accusations of mismanagement and financial misconduct, including an inquiry into Hoskinson's luxury car purchase.&nbsp;

The essence of these accusations, as it turns out, is that allegedly Hoskinson and other executives at Cardano allocated themselves a bunch of tokens, bypassing the market, and now feast on this money, including buying themselves Lamborghinis.

 What the hell is an air token?— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1830712558351004020?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 2, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
In the aftermath of the hard fork, ADA's performance has been under scrutiny. The token experienced a decline of 2.64% immediately after the upgrade, with its price falling below the critical $0.35 level. This drop has raised concerns about the potential for&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/tuur-demeester-slams-cardano-founder-classic-projection" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ADA</a> to face strong resistance in future price movements. <img alt="&quot;&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3d2f47a9-28e1-4a1e-a2c9-9e0f723aa6c8" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/CARDANOADA.png">ADA to USD by <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a>
Looking ahead, Hoskinson has outlined the next steps for&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/cardano-creator-doesnt-think-bitcoin-can-survive" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano (ADA)</a>. These include establishing a comprehensive Cardano government with top-level representatives, a constitutional committee and special representatives.&nbsp;
Additionally, ADA stakers are set to gain control over a $700 million treasury as part of the decentralization effort. The focus on budget management and governance is expected to be central to Cardano's development in the coming months.
