Bons argued that Input Output Global (IOG), the parent company of Cardano, controls 5 out of 7 of the blockchain's "genesis keys," cryptographic keys that were used to sign and establish the initial block of the Cardano blockchain back in 2015.

"The genesis keys allow code changes to be pushed out seamlessly without a hard fork," the analyst said, adding:

"This means IOG could halt the chain, change emission schedules, censor & far more That is an unprecedented degree of centralized control for an L1 chain."
