Input Output Global (IOG) CEO and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson suggests the Cardano blockchain could become the foundation for global infrastructure.
Hoskinson made this assertion at the Cardano Constitutional Convention, which commenced yesterday in Nairobi, Kenya.

During his inspiring keynote, Hoskinson emphasized that Cardano’s decentralized governance is focused on achieving continuous progress rather than immediate perfection.
Replacing Bureaucracy with Global Unity
According to him, the rationale behind developing Cardano is to unite the world by building efficient systems that focus on human well-being and potentially eliminate global bureaucracy.
He urged attendees of the conference to imagine Cardano’s trajectory over the next ten years, especially after the ecosystem is fully equipped with effective decentralized governance frameworks.
Notably, Hoskinson emphasized the need for dialogue among delegates and ensuring that key governance decisions are backed with adequate resources.
Collaborative Governance
He noted that even though Cardano is at the forefront of blockchain governance, collaboration is still needed.
Hoskinson suggested that Cardano’s efforts, especially those relating to blockchain governance, need to be integrated with those of other blockchains.
“The best thing we can do for ourselves is to be humble enough to realize that good ideas can come from anywhere, including other blockchain and other governance ecosystems,” Hoskinson remarked.
As a result, he suggested that Cardano must cement its leadership position in blockchain governance by becoming a great learner.
Hoskinson’s Bold Vision for Cardano
Interestingly, he shared an optimistic vision for Cardano regarding global adoption. He says the world will run on Cardano if the team does the right job.
This entails combining a functioning decentralized governance model with effective systems on Cardano, positioning the blockchain as the foundation for global infrastructure.
Hoskinson has always been confident about Cardano’s prospects and has outlined some bold visions for the project. In October, the IOG CEO speculated that Cardano might run a nation-state akin to the American Revolution by 2030.
He expects Cardano to have millions of users by then, who would determine the ecosystem’s future by participating in key decision-making relating to the blockchain.
Cardano is already making significant progress toward achieving decentralized governance. It began this effort on September 1, when it implemented the first phase of the Chang hard fork, which transitioned the ecosystem to the Voltaire era.
Notably, the second phase of the Chang hard fork, scheduled last month, is expected to introduce the final upgrades to Cardano, paving the way for full community-run blockchain governance within the ecosystem.
