Cardano Founder Reveals Timeline for Cardano-Powered Nation

As a seasoned crypto investor who has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous digital assets, I must admit that Charles Hoskinson’s vision for Cardano to run nation-states by 2030 is nothing short of audacious. However, having followed his journey from the early days of Ethereum and seen the impressive growth of IOG and Cardano, I can’t help but feel a sense of optimism.


IOG, a developer for Cardano, recently highlighted a forward-thinking comment from Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, suggesting a potential timeline for a country adopting Cardano as its operating system. Hoskinson suggests significant progress on the Cardano blockchain within the next six years, with the possibility of a nation-state utilizing Cardano by 2030.

In a recent tweet, Input Output shared that Charles Hoskinson expressed optimism during his keynote speech at “After Voltaire: the next evolution of Cardano,” stating that it could be possible to manage a nation state using the Cardano platform by the year 2030.

According to Charles Hoskinson from IOHK, it’s plausible that we could manage a nation state using Cardano by the year 2030. Don’t miss the rest of his keynote, ‘After Voltaire: the next phase of Cardano’s evolution.’

On September 1, 2024, Cardano achieved an impressive historical feat with the successful implementation of the first Chang hard fork, marking a significant step in Cardano’s path towards decentralized management.

In simpler terms, the second controlled Chang hard fork signifies Cardano’s transition into the era of Voltaire. The current plan includes a pre-release of Cardano node version 10 for testing, with the Chang upgrade process set to start in November 2024, marking a crucial step in Cardano’s governance development.

According to Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Cardano, the planned hard fork intended for Voltaire’s governance could have significant global implications.

Cardano to run nation states, Charles Hoskinson predicts

In a recent blog update, Input Output Global featured a segment from an earlier video by Cardano’s creator Charles Hoskinson, focusing on the Chang upgrade, its impact on Cardano, and potential implications for the future. Notably, this discussion underscored Charles Hoskinson’s vision of Cardano becoming a platform for running national governments.

Charles Hoskinson foresees that Cardano is designed with a long-term outlook spanning decades and even centuries. He emphasizes that all economic, political, and social systems could potentially be influenced by blockchain technology. If we persist on our course, this influential blockchain will likely be Cardano. The global operations might run on it because it would represent justice and rightness.

Hoskinson continued by expressing: “In the coming days, we’ll be assured of the robustness of Cardano’s institutions and governance. We’ll understand that tomorrow will surpass today in terms of progress. Over the past, I’ve visited 74 countries, connecting with tens of thousands of people who share my vision for Cardano. The energy and eagerness I’ve encountered have been inspiring. Now, I eagerly anticipate visiting an additional 100 countries over the next decade, and I look forward to seeing Cardano leading national governments. We are determined to make this a reality.
