Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, recently delivered a keynote at Paris Blockchain Week, where he shared a groundbreaking vision for the future of blockchain: unity over rivalry. He proposed a "fourth generation" of blockchain focused on interoperability between networks, stating that the future lies in connected protocols, not competing ones.
Hoskinson revealed that Cardano is planning an upcoming airdrop targeting 37 million users across eight major blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, XRP, and Solana. He emphasized, “Everybody gets a taste,” suggesting a wide and inclusive distribution model.
Hoskinson stressed the need for privacy to be integrated at the protocol level. He argued that true decentralization means having built-in mechanisms for selective disclosure, allowing compliance with regulators without compromising user privacy.
Cardano is developing Midnight, a sidechain aimed at solving compliance and privacy challenges while promoting interoperability. Powered by Minotaur, a unique multi-resource consensus protocol, it allows different blockchain participants to secure the network without abandoning their own ecosystems.
Hoskinson warned about the looming threat of Big Tech integrating crypto into their platforms. He emphasized that inclusive, decentralized technologies are the only way to ensure the crypto space maintains its core values in the face of trillion-dollar competitors.
At the time of writing, Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.6254. With the upcoming airdrop and Midnight’s launch, ADA could be poised for major growth.
