Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, praised the blockchain’s research-driven methodology on X. This is happening as Input Output Global’s paper collection approaches 200.
“Even at over 200, our library of articles continues to astound me. This portfolio has so much amazing research in it, Hoskinson stated on X.

During its founding in 2015, Cardano has had a single, unambiguous goal: to alter the way cryptocurrencies are created and designed.
Charles Hoskinson’s “Why Cardano” article and “Cardano Whiteboard” video outlined the core concepts of the Cardano development. Cardano is different from other blockchain systems because of its research-driven methodology. It was built on a collection of best practises, concepts, and contributions.
As Cardano inventor Charles Hoskinson pointed out, a substantial body of research—represented by Input Output Global’s vast library of papers—is presently getting close to 200. Numerous of these articles have undergone peer review and been approved for delivery at esteemed scholarly conferences.
The first article that sparked Cardano’s development was “Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol,” which was peer-reviewed in academia and released in Crypto 2017. As of June 2022, this original Ouroboros publication had received over 1,200 citations.
Recently, Cardano has also shown that it is willing to collaborate with academic institutions to further blockchain research.
In April 2022, the University of Zurich’s Blockchain Centre and the non-profit Cardano Foundation, which is in charge of maintaining the Cardano blockchain, signed a three-year partnership to investigate the advancement of blockchain-related research and teaching programmes.
The first “decentralisation index” for the blockchain sector was to be created by renowned UK university, the University of Edinburgh, in conjunction with Cardano builder Input Output Global (IOG) in November of the same year.
