Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of Input Output Global (IOG) and the founder of Cardano, recently shared his vision for the Cardano blockchain during the Cardano Constitutional Convention in Nairobi, Kenya. In his keynote address, he expressed his belief that Cardano could potentially become the foundation for global infrastructure. Hoskinson emphasized that Cardano’s decentralized governance model is aimed at achieving continuous progress rather than immediate perfection.
One of the key goals of Cardano is to replace global bureaucracy with efficient systems that focus on human well-being. Hoskinson stressed the importance of uniting the world through Cardano and urged conference attendees to envision the blockchain’s trajectory over the next decade. He highlighted the need for dialogue among delegates and ensuring that key governance decisions are well-supported with adequate resources.
While Cardano is at the forefront of blockchain governance, Hoskinson emphasized the importance of collaboration with other blockchain ecosystems. He believes that good ideas can come from anywhere and that Cardano must continue to learn and adapt in order to maintain its leadership position in the industry. By integrating with other blockchains and governance systems, Cardano can strengthen its position as a global infrastructure provider.
Hoskinson shared an optimistic vision for Cardano’s future, stating that if the team does its job right, the world will run on Cardano. He envisions a future where Cardano has millions of users who actively participate in decision-making processes within the ecosystem. Hoskinson has bold aspirations for Cardano, including the possibility of running a nation-state similar to the American Revolution by 2030.
Cardano has been making significant progress towards achieving decentralized governance, with the recent implementation of the first phase of the Chang hard fork. This transition to the Voltaire era is a key step towards full community-run blockchain governance within the Cardano ecosystem. The upcoming second phase of the Chang hard fork is expected to introduce final upgrades that will solidify Cardano’s position as a leader in blockchain governance.
