: Cardano development company Input Output will transfer control of key blockchain components such as the Haskell node, Plutus platform, and Daedalus wallet to external professional teams starting in August, as part of a multi-year decentralization advancement plan. Independent companies such as Se7en Labs and Teragone will be responsible for certain core infrastructures. At least three versions of Cardano will be maintained in Haskell, Rust, and Go languages, under community supervision and formal specification management. Cardano currently faces relatively weak network activity and a significant decline in the price of its ADA token. Founder Charles Hoskinson characterizes this restructuring and related ecosystem setbacks as necessary "growing pains" in the process of moving towards full decentralization.
Odaily, Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi has launched an asset recovery wallet check tool, allowing users to preliminarily check whether their relevant wallets have been affected by the previous security incident.SecondFi stated that the addresses currently displayed in the tool are based on the team's preliminary review data of the security incident and are not final. The list may not be complete and does not represent the final scope of recovery.
: Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi has released an update on the security incident recovery progress, stating that EMURGO has established an asset recovery fund to return assets to users affected by the attack.SecondFi stated that emergency measures have been taken to protect and restore access to some assets. The team is currently discussing appropriate custody mechanisms with Intersect to ensure the safe return of assets to users.Furthermore, SecondFi is collaborating with a Cardano community-led working group to advance the on-chain recovery plan. Due to the recovery plan being more complex than initially expected, the overall recovery time may exceed the previously estimated two weeks.
Odaily, Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi has released an update on the security incident, stating that the team has completed the final balance snapshot of affected user assets. Several rounds of snapshots were continuously recorded during the incident response period to serve as the basis for subsequent asset recovery and reconciliation. SecondFi stated that the engineering and security teams are advancing the asset recovery plan. It is estimated that asset repayment can begin in approximately two weeks — one week allocated for finalizing a viable technical solution and another week for testing and review. The specific timeline may be subject to minor adjustments as progress unfolds. The platform will resume operations only after passing a comprehensive security review. Currently, users only need to submit a support request via the official website's ticketing system, with no additional action required.

Well-known crypto bankruptcy claims investor Thomas Braziel (@Bkclaims) disclosed that original documents from the Isle of Man he obtained show that the earliest Cardano Foundation structure involved Charles Hoskinson, Jeremy Wood, Ken Kodama, and others. Subsequent documents indicate that Hoskinson served as the Foundation’s “Enforcer”—a key role responsible for ensuring the Foundation’s Board of Directors adhered to its charter. Notably, the Cardano ICO launched as early as September 2015, whereas the Swiss Cardano Foundation was not formally established until September 2016. During this interim period, the terms of service and risk disclosures consistently listed the “Foundation” as the issuer or supporting entity. Moreover, historical records from the Swiss Cardano Foundation also confirm the existence of a predecessor foundation based in the Isle of Man, which reportedly received approximately 1,090 BTC.
According to Cointelegraph, TapTools, a real-time Cardano analytics platform, announced it will gradually shut down over the next two weeks. Since the beginning of this year, the platform has lost two co-founders, its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and a backend developer. This exodus has resulted in a critical knowledge gap, rendering the platform unable to maintain normal operations. TapTools also cited high operational costs—including infrastructure, development, and support—as another key reason for the shutdown. The platform stated it remains open to external acquisition or financing. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson accepted partial responsibility, noting he had previously proposed an “index program” to rescue struggling projects, but the initiative failed to materialize.
According to The Block, the Cardano Foundation confirmed that the Cardano Summit 2026 will not be held this year, as the on-chain treasury funding proposal failed to reach the required supermajority threshold of 66.67%. The revised proposal sought a grant of 7.8 million ADA—approximately $2 million—but ultimately secured only 65.21% support from DReps’ staked voting power and was therefore rejected. The summit had been scheduled to take place in Singapore on October 5–6. Separately, EMURGO’s sponsorship proposal for TOKEN2049 has been approved.
Odaily, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated when discussing the removal of Section 604 of the CLARITY Act that this provision could subject open source developers to long-term legal liability for others' use of their code. He pointed out that once developers publish open source software, even if someone subsequently misuses the code without consent, the developer could still be held permanently accountable, calling this a serious threat to the open source innovation environment.
According to CoinDesk, Input Output, the core development company behind Cardano, has submitted nine funding proposals totaling $46.8 million to the community treasury for fiscal year 2026—a sharp reduction of approximately 52% compared to last year’s $97.5 million—marking its first step toward gradually reducing reliance on community funds. The nine proposals center on two key initiatives: First, the Leios consensus upgrade, expected to boost Cardano’s transaction throughput by 10x to 65x and target over 1,000 transactions per second (TPS); testing is scheduled for June, with full deployment planned by year-end. Second, Pogun—a Bitcoin DeFi system enabling Bitcoin holders to borrow and earn yield via Cardano without entrusting assets to centralized custodians; its lending functionality is slated for public release in Q2. Voting is being conducted by roughly 1,000 democratically elected representatives (DReps), with ballots closing on May 24. The outcome will test whether the Cardano community now views Input Output as just another ordinary funding applicant. Meanwhile, Cardano’s newly launched stablecoin USDCx has achieved a circulating supply of 14.6 million tokens within weeks of launch, and the network’s total value locked (TVL) has risen from $137.5 million to $142.7 million.
