Input Output Global (IOG), the driving force behind the decentralized and smart contract platform, Cardano, has partnered with the prestigious Stanford University to support innovative research into blockchain and distributed ledger technology.
This partnership with Stanford University represents a logical next step in the work started by IOG, per the announcement.
“We’ve been dedicated to vigorous research since the inception of the business and our work forms the foundations on which Cardano has been built. Working with leading academic institutions like Stanford to set up these blockchain research hubs is key to our vision, Charles Hoskinson noted.
With the Research Hub, blockchain development can grow even faster, based on the new learnings that will emerge, and the hub will add a new layer of validity to our sector that we haven’t always been afforded,” the CEO of IOG and Cardano (ADA) founder added.
We’ve partnered with the prestigious @Stanford University to create the ‘Blockchain Research Hub’.
