Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, has outlined a bold vision for the future of the blockchain ecosystem: running a nation-state by 2030. He envisions a large-scale entity, potentially serving tens of millions of people.
A Bold Vision for the Future
Hoskinson believes that Cardano has the potential to revolutionize how we live and interact with technology. He sees the blockchain as a tool to empower individuals and decentralize power, challenging the dominance of large corporations.
“We have to decide what we’re going to do with it and how far we want to take it,” Hoskinson said. “I believe we can run a nation-state on Cardano by 2030 and not a small one, one with tens of millions of people.”
The Power of On-Chain Governance
Hoskinson emphasizes the importance of on-chain governance and community collaboration in shaping Cardano’s future. The upcoming governance system will allow the community to participate in decision-making, with hundreds of workshops planned to discuss marketing, branding, and growth.
A Constitution for the People
The Cardano Constitution, crafted “by and for the people,” is central to this vision. It prioritizes human rights, including data privacy, freedom of association, commerce, and expression. The constitution aims to preserve the original intentions of the ecosystem and ensure that power remains decentralized.
A Catalyst for Growth
The roadmap includes the launch of major projects like Midnight, which is expected to attract millions of new users to the Cardano ecosystem. Hoskinson believes that these initiatives will drive the development of other projects across various domains, further expanding the community.
A Call for Unity and Collaboration
Hoskinson draws parallels between Cardano’s evolution and historical revolutions, highlighting the potential to reshape societal structures. He calls for collaboration within the blockchain industry to fight against centralization and prevent a future dominated by corporate control.
“Everybody in the blockchain industry is the same in that we’re all trying to fight the same thing: centralization,” he said. “We just have to have the will to coordinate and prove that we are the ones to do this and we also have to realize that.”
While ambitious, Hoskinson’s vision for Cardano paints a picture of a future where technology empowers individuals and decentralizes power, creating a more equitable and democratic world.
