<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Hoskinson&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiCjMWK7bqIAxXya2wGHQhkAWgQFnoECBMQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0pnkh3W-PWppRkP3B27zso" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano</a>, has publicly addressed growing misinformation about ADA staking and its impact on the cryptocurrency’s market cap, expressing frustration over false claims circulating in the crypto community. According to a report by The Crypto Basic, rumors have surfaced during a podcast with crypto commentators, suggesting that ADA holders were locked into staking pools, inflating the coin’s market cap by preventing sales.
Hoskinson refuted these claims, clarifying that Cardano offers liquid, non-custodial staking, allowing ADA holders to freely sell their tokens at any time, unlike other blockchain projects that require liquid staking derivatives. The Cardano community also rallied to debunk the false narrative, emphasizing that ADA tokens are never locked in staking, and that the project’s market cap does not rely on any form of forced staking.

Hoskinson highlighted that Cardano operates a liquid staking model, meaning that ADA holders can stake their tokens to earn rewards while retaining full control over their assets. In contrast to some proof-of-stake (PoS) systems that require users to lock up their tokens for a fixed period, Cardano’s staking system allows participants to unstake and sell their ADA at any time, providing flexibility and liquidity.
This model allows users to benefit from staking rewards without compromising their ability to trade or transfer ADA. Hoskinson emphasized that Cardano’s staking is non-custodial, meaning that tokens are never held by a third party, further ensuring security and user control.

The misinformation about ADA’s market cap suggested that the staking mechanism artificially inflates Cardano’s market value by restricting sales, which critics claimed was a form of forced staking. However, both Hoskinson and the Cardano community were quick to point out that this is not the case. The market cap of ADA is determined by the total supply of the token and its current market price, without any forced restrictions on staking or sales.
Cardano’s decentralized staking model operates transparently, and any claims of manipulation through staking mechanisms are unfounded. The community further reiterated that the project’s success and its market cap are driven by its technology and growing adoption, not by locking users into staking.

Misinformation, particularly in the cryptocurrency space, can have a damaging impact on projects and investor confidence. Hoskinson’s frustration with the spread of these false claims highlights the importance of transparent communication and education in the crypto community. As Cardano continues to grow, ensuring that accurate information is readily available will be crucial in maintaining trust among investors and stakeholders.

Charles Hoskinson’s response to the false claims about ADA staking and market cap manipulation serves to reinforce the transparency and liquidity of Cardano’s staking model. With non-custodial liquid staking, ADA holders can freely move their assets while earning rewards, without the constraints of locked staking. As the Cardano community continues to debunk misinformation, the project remains focused on its goals of scalability, security, and decentralization.
