#CardanoDebate second report on COINTELEGRAPH that informs:

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph Brazil, the CEO of the Cardano Foundation, Frederik Gregaard, highlighted that Brazil is a priority for Cardano in its expansion plan.

Gregaard states that Cardano has entered the Voltaire era, a new stage of decentralized governance. In this model, any ADA holder can participate in ecosystem decisions. Governance follows a tricameral format, with delegated representatives, pool operators, and a constitutional committee.

The structure ensures transparency, accountability, and security for the entire network. The CEO emphasized that the biggest challenge is not technical, but cultural: it is necessary to change the mindset of institutions that have operated in centralized systems for decades.

Goal is to reach 1 billion users by 2030

To achieve this goal, Cardano invests in technical solutions such as Hydra (for scalability), interoperability with other networks, and education. The foundation created the Cardano Academy, with a presence in universities such as PUC-Rio, UTN Buenos Aires, and the University of Zurich.

In addition, Cardano supports digital identity initiatives with Veridian, an open-source wallet aimed at financial inclusion. With it, anyone can create a verifiable identity without the need for traditional documents.

The foundation is also seeking new partnerships with Brazilian startups, agencies, and financial institutions. The focus is to establish alliances that generate sustainable impact and promote access to the digital economy.
