Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson made noteworthy statements regarding the scalability roadmap for the Cardano ecosystem. Hoskinson stated that by the end of the year, Cardano will be 60 times faster than its current state.
Hoskinson stated that Cardano aims for nearly unlimited scalability at the decentralized application level with its Hydra technology, and that other networks can be included in the ADA ecosystem through partner chain structures. Hoskinson said, “We will be 60 times faster by the end of the year. With Hydra, we have a great strategy for infinite scalability at the dApp level, and we can invite all these other networks into the ecosystem through partner chains.”
Hoskinson, also commenting on Ethereum’s recent interest in the UTXO model, argued that the Ethereum ecosystem is beginning to adopt approaches that Cardano has been working on since 2016. Hoskinson stated that the ADA community has overcome significant technical challenges over many years to properly implement this structure.
Hoskinson also argued that Cardano wasn’t being given enough credit regarding Ethereum’s UTXO orientation. The ADA founder stated, “We invented the infrastructure for this. Instead of saying ‘We should be like Cardano’ and giving credit to us, they don’t mention it at all. You can’t say ADA on Ethereum.”
Hoskinson also touched upon the cryptocurrency market’s performance in 2025, arguing that US-originated developments disrupted the market cycle. According to Hoskinson, without the US influence, the crypto market could have followed a more normal cycle, and an altcoin season could have occurred in 2025.

After a bet settles, can you actually check that it resolved the way the book says, or are you taking a support reply on trust? That single question separates most crypto sportsbooks from the
