Layer-2 Cardano “a necessity” as Hoskinson predicts a huge spike in network traffic.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson describes Hydra as a “high commercial priority” due to the expected increase in traffic scale in the coming months. Especially in the near term, when projects in Africa start to spread.
He added that research on Hydra is currently ongoing. However, generally speaking, things are getting “closer” to a (version) “1.0”. Hydra is a layer 2 scaling solution that can theoretically deliver speeds up to 1 million transactions per second (TPS).
Speaking from Ethiopia, Hoskinson hosted an AMA at the weekend. As usual, it was filled with a wide variety of topics, including points about the ERC-20 converter and a brief mention of a possible deal in Egypt.
However, of more interest was talk of Hydra, Cardano’s tier 2 solution. Hoskinson said the IOHK team is busy working on it right now. He also said that they are considering recruiting other parties to accelerate its development from a commercial perspective.

Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK and founder of Cardana, visited Africa where he met with business people and politicians to discuss the integration of their blockchain network in Ethiopia.
Hoskinson also visited the Ethiopian Ministry of Education as part of the “Cardano Africa Tour” to explore student credentials with the country’s authorities.
The credential system aimed to reprocess the academic records of 5 million students by adding information such as attendance and grades to the blockchain to collect data and provide a digital identity system.
Hoskinson said this is the first phase of the program. Then the goal is to use this as a springboard to start a national identity system in the country. This will increase the number of users to 110 million.
Cardano is creating excitement on the global stage. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the Cardano Atala Prism project in Ethiopia was ranked 14th among the 50 most influential projects in 2021.
PMI has identified the project as a gamechanger that has the potential to improve the educational outcomes of Ethiopian students.
Opposition to the project initially prevailed in government, according to John O’Conner, director of Africa operations. But the government has come to realize that digital identity and blockchain technology are not the burden as originally thought.
O’Conner said the Atala Prism enables governments to fulfill their documentation management responsibilities as they move towards greater digitization.
Why does Cardano want to go to Africa?
Many people question Cardan’s presence in Africa. However, Hoskinson sees great potential and many possible partnerships in this region.
More precisely, IOHK has commented on this on its blog. The article states that Africa “is by no means faithful to the systems of the past that have not worked well here”. So all the infrastructure is in place when it comes to implementing better and more equitable ways of doing business.
IOHK wants to ride the wave of progress as Africa is clearly gaining more and more space on the global stage.
Other visits as part of “Cardano Africa Tour”
As part of the tour, Hoskinson visited Burundi, South Africa and many other countries where he met with presidents and businessmen to discuss the future of their country where digitalization based on blockchain innovation should prevail.
Hoskinson also plans to visit Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt.

Cardano (ADA) founder answers questions: ‘Cardano will see a lot of traffic soon. Cardano (ADA) has been quiet for a while. However, this does not mean that the developers behind the project do not stand still! Last weekend, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson held an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on YouTube. He answered a series of interesting questions from the community in it.
One of the questions was about the Plutus Application Backend (PAB). This is a platform where developers can develop and maintain smart contracts more easily. According to Hoskinson, PAB is expected to launch this month. According to him, this could suddenly put huge pressure on the network as many developers will start working.
This led Hoskinson to the next big development, namely Hydra. Hydra is a scaling solution that dramatically increases the number of possible transactions per second on Cardano. Hoskinson explains that enabling sidechains will allow the launch of special-purpose chains, an important step: “It will be able to (soon) offload most of the transaction traffic from all future applications. With PAB coming online, Cardano is dealing with massive amounts of traffic. Hydra is a necessity for this…”
Also, the founder discussed the fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) that has existed for some time. Cardano is accused of being able to process too few transactions and having a block size that is too small. For example, increasing the block size does not mean that larger smart contracts can be developed. But that’s not true: “It’s a lie… If you increase the amount of raw storage the block has, of course there can be more scripts in that block.”

Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IOHK Global team & founder of Cardano, revealed on YouTube in the last AMA session. However, he did not live from his native Colorado. He aired the AMA session directly from Ethiopia as he was in Ethiopia as part of the Cardano Africa Tour.
Through the live session, Charles Hoskinson shared information about the many development work in Cardano, especially the necessity of Hydra for Cardano.
Above all, he appreciated the enabled “ERC-20 converter tool” bridge between Ethereum and Cardano to enable ERC-20 token users to take advantage of transacting on Cardano Blockchain with very low fees.
In addition, Charles Hoskinson said that the large crypto adoption traffic of transactions is increasing rapidly and will be at a high level in the future. The latest Alonzo upgrade that enables Hydra is a huge need for the Cardano blockchain.
