Charles Hoskinson To Critics: There Are Already Thousands Of Assets Running On Cardano

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and CEO of Input Output Global (IOG), has offered an expansive glimpse into the future of Cardano, its privacy-focused sidechain Midnight, and his growing interest in AI and digital governance.

Speaking during a surprise AMA Saturday, Hoskinson laid out a series of bold initiatives that he believes could reshape the Cardano ecosystem and the broader crypto and technology landscape.

One of the standout revelations was his plan to develop a virtual city powered by AI agents that simulate real-world human behavior in a crypto economy. According to the pundit, this digital metropolis, inspired by the Altera project, will be used to test economic policies, regulatory interactions, DeFi integrations, and the scalability of blockchain-based systems in a live yet controlled environment. 

He described it as a place to beta-test stablecoins, model interactions between regulators and malicious actors, and move beyond the traditional TPS metric toward a more nuanced measure he called “concurrent cities.”

“It would be a really cool exercise to run a virtual city. You can stop thinking of TPS and you can start thinking your your DeFi ecosystem as cities run concurrently.” He stated. “Many cities can run concurrently comfortably in this meaning that there’s no disruption to the commerce inside the system.”

Hoskinson also gave an update on Midnight, Cardano’s upcoming privacy-centric blockchain. Notably, with a focus on sectors like healthcare, Midnight will feature private stablecoins and trustless bridges to Cardano, allowing seamless and secure asset transfers. He emphasized that the native token for Midnight will launch with what he claims is the fairest and decentralized distribution model in crypto history. 

“It’s the most decentralized launch in the history of the cryptocurrency space. I am very proud of it. It’s a new distribution model. I think you guys are all going to like it.” He stated.

Looking toward Bitcoin integration, Hoskinson teased an infrastructure project called BitVMX, timed ahead of the Bitcoin 2025 conference. He said the initiative will connect Bitcoin’s liquidity to Cardano’s ecosystem using Hydra-powered fast finality and lending protocols that offer native Bitcoin yield. He also suggested a future where Bitcoin Ordinals are integrated with Cardano’s NFT infrastructure, enhancing both networks.

Moreover, Hoskinson expressed frustration with the current decentralized structure’s inability to make timely decisions on governance. He called for a hybrid model, introducing an executive function complementing the community’s voice.

He also preemptively addressed the forthcoming audit on Cardano’s early token distribution, dismissing online allegations of misconduct as politically motivated gaslighting.
