Charles Hoskinson Reveals Key Updates For Cardano At Rare Evo 2024

During his keynote at Rare Evo 2024, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented major updates for the Cardano (ADA) blockchain, focusing on advancements in technology, governance, and global outreach.

Key Updates And Future Plans

Hoskinson introduced Plutus V3, set to launch soon. He praised its enhanced functionality and security, emphasizing a collaborative approach in development. Plutus V3 will be here in weeks, and with Ouroboros Leios, Cardano has not only addressed but excelled beyond the blockchain trilemma, Hoskinson stated.

He also discussed Hydra, which is a layer-2 scaling solution designed to significantly increase transaction throughput. Hydra is groundbreaking and the team specifically developed the extended UTXO model for it to ensure efficiency and security, Charles added.

Additionally, Hoskinson revealed plans for a massive decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which will manage a large digital treasury and feature a governance model including a constitutional committee, stake pool operators (SPOs), and elements of liquid democracy. This new governance model is a major step towards decentralized and democratic blockchain management, he claimed.

Global Engagement And Future Events

Charles highlighted recent interactions with Argentine officials and academic institutions, reflecting global interest in blockchain. The team is very excited about visiting the University of Buenos Aires for a Constitutional Convention with delegates representing over 50 countries to discuss Cardano and the future of digital assets, Hoskinson shared.

Looking ahead, Hoskinson previewed the October Cardano Summit, featuring a unique challenge where Hydra could effectively handle one million transactions per second (TPS), a feat which will be demonstrated through a live Doom game with a $100,000 prize for the winner.

Hoskinson concluded by reaffirming his commitment to advancing blockchain technology, highlighting the ongoing innovation and resilience of the Cardano ecosystem. Charles concluded by saying that Cardano will always strive to make blockchain simpler, faster, cheaper, and more impactful, aiming for cryptocurrency to revolutionize the world.
