Charles Hoskinson said Cardano (CRYPTO:ADA) still has its best days ahead despite the token's long price decline.
Hoskinson made the comments during a recent AMA on X as he responded to criticism from the Cardano community.
"The best days are ahead of us," Hoskinson said.
ADA trades near $0.15, down about 95% from its all-time high of $3.09.
Hoskinson said Cardano needs a different approach to deal with what he described as the "demons" holding the project back.
He argued that the network has strong technology but must improve how it grows and attracts users.
The comments come as Cardano works through governance changes and tries to rebuild confidence after a difficult year for the ecosystem.
