Cardano

IOHK has released a look at some of the highlights of its recent summit in Miami. It includes overviews from key figures working within Cardano and IOHK such as founder Charles Hoskinson and senior product manager David Esser.

“The timing of the summit really kind of worked out interesting. We’re just a short time away from having a live test net, where we’ll be showing for the first time Proof- of-Stake decentralized with stake pools and delegation, which isn’t only a big milestone for Cardano, it’s a huge milestone for the industry. This has never been done before.”
