The comments made by Hoskinson come as the Cardano ecosystem makes a definite push towards its 2030 vision, which defines its long-term goals. This vision outlines what the Cardano ecosystem aims to achieve over the coming decade: a resilient, decentralized network that supports global financial infrastructure, open innovation, and meaningful economic participation.
The Input Output treasury proposal went live this week, with nine initiatives, each one building something Cardano needs to hit its 2030 targets. Among these is Blockfrost, a decentralized data infrastructure that scales with Cardano.
