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’.

IOG Supporting Blockchain-Related Research 

The Charles Hoskinson-led IOG team strives to encourage the building of blockchain solutions on the foundation of research. This could aid in preventing the recent bad incidents such as bridge hacks, project collapses, and network outages among others. 

IOG, which was founded by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood in 2015, is a top blockchain infrastructure research and engineering company that prioritizes peer-reviewed and academic research. Over the years, data showed that over 130 research papers have been published by the IOG team.

The IOG intends to finance the Blockchain Research Hub at Stanford to the tune of $4.5 million till 2025. It is said that the research hub will be led by a steering committee consisting of Stanford and IOG top researchers. 

Per the update, “the hub seeks to tackle fundamental/ foundational questions in the blockchain space, extensively increase the blockchain industry’s collation of scientific knowledge, and promote the importance of research in this nascent space.”

IOG tweeted, “We’re releasing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain alpha! (Now on testnet.) Build your Solidity-based applications on Cardano – a decentralized, permissionless, sustainable blockchain. The future is interoperable.”

It can be recalled that IOG published a blog post on the 28th of April 2022, titled, “Interoperability is key to blockchain growth”, in which about five Cardano sidechains were discussed.

The blog post, which describes the newly released alpha version of permissionless Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain, reads in part as follows:

“IOG is planning to release a new permissionless EVM sidechain this year. This sidechain will allow developers to write Solidity smart contracts on Cardano, create EVM compatible DApps, and ERC20-compatible tokens (and in time, their own sidechains) while gaining many of the benefits of Cardano. That means users will benefit from far lower fees and faster settlement times on a more environmentally sustainable blockchain.

“The key features of the EVM sidechain will be full compatibility with Ethereum upgrades and tools, Web3 wallet compatibility, the use of the proof-of-stake Ouroboros Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus protocol, and, of course, its ability to inherit security from the Cardano main chain.”

Also on the 11th of June, IOG shared a tweet and captioned the video that explained how Solidity developers could “apply for access to the EVM sidechain alpha release.”

Captioning the video, IOG wrote, “We believe in an interoperable future built on multiple blockchains. That’s why we’re releasing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain alpha! We welcome the Ethereum community of users & devs to freely engage with the best of what Cardano has to offer.”

Charles Hoskinson Plans to Utilize Blockchain to Facilitate Affordable Loans through DeFi

Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano (ADA) had said that the smart contracts platform will continue its quest for further expansion this year.

In a video shared a couple of days ago, Hoskinson spoke of his plan to utilize blockchain to facilitate affordable loans through DeFi. He also discussed some outlined technological milestones for 2022, especially his ambition to make Cardano the settlement rail.

Charles Hoskinson noted:

“My goal for the second half of 2022 is to figure out how to put all the pieces together to get an end-to-end microfinance transaction on Cardano.

He said what is going to happen in 2022 is that “a formal open-source project structure is going to be formed, kind of like Hyperledger to Linux. We’re going to see many institutions wired in, and all the people that are currently working on it will be novated over, including me…

“When you look at things like enhancing Plutus, there’s already three CIPS [Cardano improvement proposals] as a result of the work we’ve done with developers that need to come in.

“We have pipelining that needs to come in, input endorsers that need to come in. Peer-to-peer is currently being tested with the stake pool operators on the testnet, and there’s lots of stuff happening there…

“We’re staging things appropriately, and we’re starting to see a refinement of the science of things. The adoption’s there. The community’s there. We’ve grown to about two million people.”
