Charles Hoskinson to Discuss Blockchain Future With Argentina’s President

• Cardano’s Hoskinson will meet Argentina President Milei to discuss blockchain’s economic role.
• The meeting between Hoskinson and Milei highlights Argentina’s growing interest in blockchain adoption.
• Cardano strengthens ties with Argentina as Hoskinson plans discussions on blockchain and potential CBDC.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has scheduled a meeting with Argentina’s President Javier Milei to discuss blockchain’s potential for reviving Argentina’s economy. The meeting will be held during the Tech Forum Argentina, and the prospects for implementing cryptocurrency in the modern economy and society will be discussed. Some topics under discussion include the possibility of developing CBDC and Argentina’s general technological requirements.

Cardano Strengthens Ties with Argentina

For continued growth of the Argentinian market and a warmer general relation, Cardano has entered into several initiatives with Argentina to advance blockchain solutions. The Cardano Foundation formalized and advanced native blockchain integration in June 2024 based on the organization’s historical roots in Argentina. Another factor pointing to the origins of Cardano in Argentina is the input of AtixLabs, which was one of Cardano’s first development partners.

It is also interesting to note that Argentina remains the country that is aggressively moving forward in adopting blockchain technology. In August, the ETH Kipu Foundation helped Buenos Aires incorporate Ethereum and the principles of blockchain technology into high school education.

The initiative seeks to enhance students’ learning in emerging technologies, such as offering an online Solidity course for students over 18. This step is important as it shows Argentina’s intention to incorporate blockchain into its learning processes.

Cardano’s Governance Advancements

Cardano’s governance model has been changing gradually in its transition to the Voltaire era, leaning more on the decentralization of its governance. On September 1, Cardano successfully went through the first hard fork of this epoch for the feature to allow community-based governance and on-chain voting. 

The last Cardano Constitution, which will establish such governance features, is expected to be launched in December 2024. This progress will further entrench Cardano’s decentralized ecosystem and increase its voice in global blockchain discourse.
