Charles Hoskinson Announces a “New Era of Development”

Anna Martynova

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson explained in a recent post on social media platform X that the Cardano ecosystem is at a critical turning point. The reason is that the development strategy is changing from a centralized, scientifically-backed approach to an open, multi-team model. This should finally bring the long-awaited development speed that many in the community have been missing.

Cardano’s Haskell-based node and scientifically-backed protocols were technically impressive, but they also scared off many developers. New ideas had a hard time penetrating the ecosystem because the input was too complex. According to Hoskinson, this led to very slow feature adoption.

Going forward, small but agile teams like Aiken and Midgard will work hand-in-hand with the official Input Output Global (IOG) research teams. Alternative node implementations should also be allowed. The goal is more ideas, faster implementation, more diversity.
