- Charles Hoskinson wants Cardano discussions to move from X to a dedicated Discord community.
- The proposal has divided ADA supporters over concerns about visibility and open debate.
- Cardano continues growth efforts despite ADA’s recent 35% monthly decline.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is calling for a major shift in how the blockchain community communicates, urging users to move discussions from X to Discord. The proposal aims to create a more organized and constructive environment for Cardano conversations, but it has also triggered debate among ADA supporters concerned about losing visibility in the wider crypto market.
Hoskinson believes social media platforms have become dominated by conflict, misinformation, and negative interactions, making it harder for meaningful blockchain discussions to take place. However, critics argue that leaving X could reduce Cardano’s influence at a time when the project is working to rebuild momentum and the ADA token continues to face price challenges.
Hoskinson’s Vision for a New Cardano Community Hub
In a recent update, Hoskinson said he has been working with EMURGO CEO Phillip Pon to develop a dedicated Cardano Discord server. The planned platform would provide structured channels for discussions, community engagement, and direct interaction with developers and ecosystem participants.
The Cardano founder said the move is intended to create a healthier space where users can exchange ideas without the constant disputes often seen on public social media platforms.
Although Hoskinson plans to continue hosting livestreams on X, he indicated that future AMA questions will come from the new Cardano Discord community and the existing Midnight Discord ecosystem.
Community Divided Over Leaving X
The proposed “great migration” has received mixed reactions from the Cardano community. Supporters believe Discord could improve communication quality and reduce distractions, while others worry the move could limit Cardano’s reach.
Some community members argue that X remains one of the biggest meeting points for the crypto and technology industries. They believe staying active on the platform helps Cardano remain part of broader conversations involving developers, investors, and other blockchain projects.
Critics also raised concerns that moving discussions into a more controlled environment could create an echo chamber where negative feedback and external criticism become harder to hear.
Cardano Growth Efforts Continue Despite ADA Decline
The debate comes as Cardano works to expand its position in the blockchain industry. The project was recently highlighted by Fortune as one of the leading blockchain initiatives contributing to the growth of digital assets.
The Cardano ecosystem is also focusing on expansion through initiatives such as venture funding, DeFi development, and partnerships aimed at increasing real-world blockchain adoption.
Despite these efforts, Cardano’s ADA token has struggled recently. The cryptocurrency is trading near $0.17, with a short-term daily gain but remains down around 35% over the past month.

Charles Hoskinson’s push to move Cardano discussions from X to Discord represents a broader debate within crypto about community management, open communication, and platform influence. While a dedicated Discord space could improve engagement among existing users, the challenge will be maintaining visibility and connection with the wider blockchain industry.
