Google and Cardano London Meetup Reveals Potential Partnership

Founded by Ethereum Co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is poised as a third-generation blockchain with a focus on propelling mass adoption.

Released on June 28, 2018, Cardano developer met with Google at their London offices to discuss the seventh-largest cryptocurrency's specific features and advantages.

IOHK, the developer of Cardano, was invited by Google's London Headquarters to answer questions regarding the cryptocurrency's next-gen protocols and delineate their plans to compete with Ethereum.

The meeting, hosting Hoskinson and IOHK Director of Engineering Duncan Coutts, gave Google employees from around the globe the opportunity to make technical and broad inquiries about the Cardano blockchain via conference call.

Cardano is an open source smart contract platform that aims to solve the issues of Ethereum's PoS consensus mechanism, scalability, and security through its secure Ouroboros PoS algorithm, Daedalus wallet, and unique privacy protocols.

It's evident that the Cardano blockchain was built with developers in mind, as the platform will enable compatibility to several popular coding languages for the writing of smart contracts and decentralized applications on the platform.

"Our goal is to release the next major version of Cardano some time this year, called Shelly. We are working really hard towards that. It might slip, but the odds are that it won't In parallel, we are releasing testnets for smart contracts. The first one will be released at the end of the month, and this is done with something called the KEVM.".

Although a partnership was not discussed, it's worth noting that Google, a site that currently bans cryptocurrency ads, is taking interest in a specific blockchain project.

We're tracking 1162 projects from all around the globe.
