Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has firmly denied rumors suggesting his imminent departure from the blockchain project. Hoskinson labeled the claims as "completely fabricated," attributing them to out-of-context video clips and reaction videos that falsely portrayed him as declaring Cardano a failed project. The rumors have gained traction, with instances such as a London taxi driver and a partner company CEO being misinformed about his supposed retirement. Hoskinson has urged supporters to disseminate his clarification video to counter the misinformation, emphasizing that the rumors are entirely baseless.
