Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said in a Nov. 7 AMA that he does not control the network's treasury or consensus and cannot negotiate for all ADA holders. He remains CEO of Input Output Group, but said he cannot act as Cardano's CEO.
Treasury withdrawals require approval from delegated representatives, known as DReps, and the Constitutional Committee, which checks constitutionality. Funded recipients must deliver under their proposals, while designated administrators monitor spending and delivery.
Holders can inspect outputs: Intersect said Cardano explorer AdaStat's October maintenance milestone was signed off on Nov. 2, while engineering reports link Leios prototype work to treasury funding. The latest Leios changes remain development work, not a mainnet release. ADA holders can register as DReps or change their voting delegation.
