#CardanoDebate The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, is quite actively sharing his plans and vision for the future of the project. To briefly describe his promises and plans for the near future, they include several key directions:
1️⃣ Decentralization of governance (Voltaire)
Hoskinson is actively working on launching the Voltaire phase, which will fully decentralize network governance.
A voting system will be implemented, where ADA holders can participate in decision-making regarding the protocol's development.
According to Hoskinson, this will turn Cardano into one of the first fully self-governing blockchain systems.
2️⃣ Expansion of smart contracts and dApps (Plutus, Mithril)
The development of the Plutus smart contract platform will continue.
Work is underway on the Mithril protocol, which will enhance scalability and speed up node synchronization.
Hoskinson promises to make Cardano a user-friendly and competitive platform for dApps, NFTs, and DeFi.
3️⃣ Scalability and performance (Hydra)
Hydra is a second-layer solution that is expected to significantly increase the network's throughput (up to a million transactions per second theoretically).
This is necessary for the widespread use of Cardano in the real sector: micropayments, IoT, financial applications.
4️⃣ Global partnerships and emerging markets
Cardano continues to actively operate in Africa, Asia, and other regions where traditional financial systems are underdeveloped.
Negotiations are underway to implement Cardano for state registries, identification, education, and healthcare.
5️⃣ Sustainable development and a scientific approach
Hoskinson promises to maintain the project's core philosophy: academic rigor, formal code verification, and peer-reviewed scientific research.
Cardano will continue to publish scientific papers and collaborate with universities.
