Cardano CEO Mulls Algorand Partnership to Build Decentralized AI

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I find the recent developments in the Cardano and Algorand ecosystems particularly intriguing. Charles Hoskinson’s praise for Algorand’s blockchain technology is not surprising given his appreciation for innovative projects in the decentralized space. The potential partnership between these two powerhouses could indeed revolutionize the AI industry, much like how the internet transformed communication when Netscape Navigator and Mosaic browser collaborated back in the 90s.


Recently, Cardano‘s CEO, Charles Hoskinson, expressed his thoughts about the potential prowess of Algorand’s blockchain technology and contemplated collaborating on cutting-edge decentralized AI projects. Such an alliance could open up fresh avenues for both parties in the rapidly advancing AI sector.

Cardano CEO Praises Algorand Blockchain

Charles Hoskinson has consistently admired crypto initiatives striving to develop decentralized blockchain systems. In a recent discussion, he expressed his thoughts on Algorand’s technology, suggesting that if it were combined with a specialized proof-of-work tailored for AI inference, Algorand could become the foremost decentralized powerhouse for artificial intelligence within the crypto sector.

The CEO of Cardano expressed enthusiasm over this development, suggesting a collaboration with Algorand as a potential partner chain. According to him, by working together, they could maximize the potential of Minotaur’s capabilities to the fullest extent.

Beneath the surface, Algorand’s technology, coupled with a clever proof-of-work tailored for artificial intelligence inference, could make it the most powerful decentralized AI platform our industry has ever known. It would be thrilling to witness it form a partnership chain and challenge Minotaur to its full potential. @JohnAlanWoods

In a response to Hoskinson, Gary Malouf from Algorand Technologies expressed: “Hey Charles, it’s intriguing to learn more about your thoughts. It’s not our first conversation where AI abilities seem to align.”

Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson requested a meeting with IOHK CTO Romain Pellerin, who expressed enthusiasm for the prospect. At this stage, the possibility of Algorand becoming a partner chain is still tentative; however, if successful, it could pave the way for intriguing collaborations that bridge the gap between cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence.

Chang Hardfork Delayed Again

The highly anticipated Cardano Chang hard fork has been pushed back for another four days from its initially expected launch on August 27, now set for September 1. This delay marks the continuation of changes in Cardano’s governance model as the Chang hard fork will introduce innovations in the utilization of ADA, effectively initiating the Voltaire era.

Charles Hoskson pointed out that Binance and other crypto exchanges haven’t announced their support for an upgrade yet. He said that deadlines usually make people who aren’t taking upgrades seriously realize they need to act fast. When they start working on it, we tend to move quickly together.

Today, the wider cryptocurrency market is experiencing a surge, and Cardano’s native currency, ADA, has joined in, increasing by 4% to reach approximately $0.40. Yet, the postponement of the Chang hardfork might temporarily halt the upward trend in ADA prices.
