Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warned that more decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols on the Cardano network could shut down in the second half of 2026 due to structural challenges. These include difficulties in commercialization, fragmented funding, and governance issues that hinder sustainable growth. Hoskinson highlighted that the network's decentralized governance limits quick intervention to support struggling projects. He also proposed a potential ecosystem reset via a proof-of-burn mechanism to restructure tokenomics if current fixes fail. Cardano's market value and token price have declined, reflecting these ecosystem pressures.
