A summary of recent talks by Charles Hoskinson:

Charles Hoskinson says Cardano’s development trajectory has not only not slowed down, but has entered a high-speed phase. He reports active talks for several new partnerships and promises to make some major announcements this month.

According to him, the necessary structure for the convergence of Midnight and Cardano has been found and the goal is clear: to supercharge Cardano’s DeFi, relying on technologies such as Leios, Hydra and Starstream; in such a way that the ecosystem becomes a giant player by the end of 2026.

Hoskinson emphasizes that Cardano has enough resources to grow and can increase the community, the number of active users and the volume locked by 10 times. He says that by integrating Tier-1 bridges, stablecoins, oracles and analytical tools, precise KPIs will be defined; There is even a goal of bringing $250 million in Bitcoin or Ripple to the Cardano ledger.

Midnight, he says, has emerged as the voice of Cardano’s DeFi, and the growth of social tokens like SNEK and HOSKY is part of that momentum. He promises new apps will be released one after the other, including RealFi, a bear market-specific dApp, along with another Glacier Drop.

Hoskinson says the Tier-1 bridge integration is a done deal; it just needs to be phased in. There is also a major integration set for December, which he says will be a “prelude” to bigger things to come. The next step is to promote the top 15 dApps, bring them to Hydra, and connect them to Bitcoin and Ripple’s DeFi. Midnight is also adding a layer of privacy to differentiate Cardano from regular DeFi.

He reiterated Cardano’s governance structure: ultimate power lies with ADA holders, and this flexibility allows for rapid change and recovery even from major events. He believes that the more people learn about the technology, the more they will come to the conclusion that Cardano is the right choice.

The problem isn’t the technology, says Hoskinson; even Vitalik would have liked Ethereum to be like Haskell and offer non-security staking. And if a fork like the one that happened on Ethereum recently happened, billions of dollars would be lost.

He blames the “no” vote for not having all the details fully answered: no blockchain started with all the answers.

Finally, he suggests holding biweekly hackathons to speed up the developer experience on the Plutus and Aiken platforms.
