With the upcoming Chang hard fork drawing near, Cardano (ADA) is attracting more attention and backing from Hollywood actor Martin Lawrence.
Well-known for his roles in the “Bad Boys” movies alongside Will Smith, Lawrence has shown increasing positivity towards Cardano. He recently shared his excitement for the platform on social media, reaffirming his support for the cryptocurrency.
Celebrity Affiliation with Cardano
In a video posted on June 23, Lawrence featured the Cardano song and its founder, Charles Hoskinson, on social media.
The post, accompanied by project-related hashtags, quickly garnered significant attention, with nearly 130,000 views on the X platform (formerly Twitter). Hoskinson responded to Lawrence’s post with a positive gesture, indicating a strong rapport.
Lawrence’s connection with Cardano and Charles Hoskinson goes back to 2021-2022 when they engaged in a Twitter conversation about non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
This interaction took place in June 2022, following the involvement of other celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Gene Simmons of Kiss, who made substantial investments in ADA.
Actress Gal Gadot also supported Cardano through her investment in AdaSwap, an NFT platform featuring collections from renowned artists, including Lawrence. Lawrence now ranks among the top seven influential ADA creators.
A Decade in the Making
With Lawrence’s recent endorsement, Cardano is gearing up for a significant event: the Chang hard fork. The long-awaited software update, Cardano Node 9.0, is slated for release this month.
According to Charles Hoskinson, the Chang Hard Fork will be a groundbreaking moment, marking a monumental milestone for Cardano and the blockchain industry as a whole.
Cardano is on its way to becoming a decentralized global community with advanced blockchain governance, annual budgets, a treasury, and input from the entire community. It’s been almost a decade on this incredible journey, building a nation. Cardano instills hope for the industry and the world, and the goal is to make a significant impact in the next decade.
The current trading price of Cardano’s native token, ADA, is $0.39, showing a 4% recovery in the past 24 hours after a gradual decline from its yearly high of $0.81 in March over the last three months.
