    Cardano Advocate Chris O steps down from governance role citing Sui's technology and adoption

    Report first recorded Oct 22, 22:06

    Longtime Cardano advocate Chris O resigned from his DRep governance role, stating that the Cardano Foundation and others have not kept up with the technology and adoption of Sui. He asked his delegators to redelegate their voting power, while also noting that ADA is no longer his largest position. This follows a similar move by Cardano analyst Dan Gambardello in June, who shifted part of his holdings to Sui. These shifts occur amid a difficult year for Cardano, including ADA falling below $0.20 for the first time since 2021 and the winding down of ecosystem projects like TapTools and Hosky. Charles Hoskinson responded to O's post, thanking him for his time.
