From YouTube: A Year of Community: Cardano in 2022
Description
2022 was a remarkable year for the Cardano ecosystem. From Austin and Denver, to Stanford and Edinburgh, the Cardano community rallied together to build and collaborate from around the world, ensuring the continued growth and success of one of the largest blockchain ecosystems. In this video, the team here at Input Output wanted to celebrate what we as a community have accomplished this year - as we prepare for more to come as we usher in the age of Voltaire.

Essential Cardano Guide to the Ecosystem:
https://services.iohk.io/guide-to-the-ecosystem
A
A
System-
and
it
was
all
because
of
you-
the
community,
a
global
movement
of
developers,
entrepreneurs
and
even
artists
built
new
Solutions
businesses
and
experiences
on
Rock
Solid
foundations
from
the
earliest
Beginnings
in
2015,
from
Byron
and
Shelley
to
Gogan
and
Basho.
You,
the
community,
ensured
the
continued
growth
and
success
of
cardano,
so
it
input
output.
We
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
reflect
on
2022
and
look
forward
to
the
age
of
Voltaire.
A
Iog
is
honored
to
be
a
member
of
this
Vibrant
Community
and
we
wanted
to
capture
the
essence
of
cardano,
a
snapshot
of
all
the
collective
development
and
Innovation
together
in
one
place,
so
the
team
put
pen
to
paper
and
authored
the
essential
cardano
Guide
to
the
ecosystem,
featuring
some
of
the
projects
building
on
cardano.
Now
we
couldn't
hope
to
capture
everything,
but
we
hope
it
offers
some
foundational
knowledge
and
a
valuable
guide
to
all
the
incredible
work
going
on
in
the
community

A
Nowhere
was
this
more
apparent
than
in
Austin
Texas,
where
you
made
a
splash
representing
cardano
at
consensus
there
you
shared
the
vision
of
creating
a
Level
Playing
Field
for
everyone
in
the
world
by
ensuring
equal
access
to
economic
identity
and
financial
services.
A
consensus
iog
was
proud
to
shine
a
light
on
the
key
components
of
cardano
excited
chains,
plutus,
project
Catalyst
and
many
more.
This
fall.
A
We
saw
two
incredible
Community
organized
events,
cnft
Con
in
Las
Vegas
was
a
celebration
of
cardano's
Creator
Community,
while
rare
bloom
in
Denver
brought
together
Builders
from
across
the
whole
ecosystem.
Iag
was
a
proud
participant
in
both
these
events
and
we
took
the
opportunity
to
introduce
lace.
Our
new
light
wallet
platform
built
to
unlock
web
3
for
everyone
for
our
part,
input
output
closed
out
the
year
with
IO
Scott
Fest
in
Edinburgh,
where
we
launched
the
Edinburgh
decentralization
index
as
part
of
a
drive
to
add
greater
transparency
and
inclusive
accountability
to
the
decentralized
technology.
A
Space
as
a
whole.
Iog
also
took
the
opportunity
to
introduce
midnight,
a
new
data,
protection-focused
cardano
sidechain
and,
of
course
we
can't
forget
to
mention
the
cardano
summit
in
lausanne.
An
amazing
celebration
of
everything
accomplished
in
2022,
hosted
in
Switzerland
by
the
cardano
foundation.
A
Iog
believes
the
future
growth
of
the
blockchain
industry
will
be
built
on
the
core
principles
of
academic
rigor
and
fundamental
research.
So
in
2022
we
founded
the
blockchain
research,
Hub
Stanford
University,
to
bring
together
researchers
from
an
array
of
disciplines
and
pave
the
way
for
a
more
decentralized
future.
Education
is
also
key,
and
this
year
iog
ran
courses
in
Haskell,
plutus,
Marlow
and
atala
prism
for
thousands
of
students,
a
personal
highlight
in
the
summer
we
traveled
to
Alan
batur
Mongolia
for
the
graduation
of
our
latest
group
of
students
in
functional
programming.
A
Obviously,
2022
was
full
of
travel,
Innovation
and
events,
but
let's
take
a
look
at
some
numbers
in
2022,
our
academic
Community
had
eight
cardano
focused
research
papers,
accepted
and
presented
at
Major
Global
conferences,
while
iog
researchers
presented
39
papers
covering
all
aspects
of
decentralized
Technology.
Over
seven
and
a
half
thousand
students
participated
in
the
plutus
Pioneers
program
worldwide,
2
000
students
could
call
themselves
a
tala
pioneers
and
over
two
and
a
half
thousand
signed
up
for
our
Haskell
boot
camp
to
begin
their
journey
into
functional
programming.
A
On
top
of
this,
we
launched
a
new
Marlow
Pioneer
program
to
introduce
the
world
to
a
powerful
new
way
of
launching
smart
contracts.
Cardana
developers
have
always
been
some
of
the
most
dedicated
and
active
2022
was
no
different.
This
translates
to
over
56
and
a
half
thousand
commits
across
272
repos
on
GitHub.
During
the
same
time
period
we
reached
over
58
000
wallets
registered
to
vote
in
Project
Catalyst.
To
date,
Catalyst
has
allocated
over
38
million
in
funds
to
bootstrap
and
support
projects
building
all
over
the
world.
A
Over
1100
projects
have
been
funded
from
91
different
countries,
making
catalysts
a
truly
Global
decentralized,
Innovation
fund,
the
network
processed
over
50
million
transactions
between
over
three
and
a
half
million
wallets.
There
are
over
3
000
stake,
pools
operating
on
six
continents
and
over
71
percent
of
ADA
in
circulation
is
staked
while
the
network
grows
so
does
the
community
of
developers.
Currently,
there
are
11
000
developers
on
iog's
technical
Discord
server.
More
than
4
700
smart
contracts
have
been
deployed,
1100
projects
founded
7
million
native
tokens
launched
at
the
same
time.
A
We
continue
to
see
projects
building
in
Africa
project
Catalyst
has
fully
funded
47
pilot
projects
throughout
the
continent
and
Ice
Addis
identified
and
incubated
nine
entrepreneurs
working
in
the
African
Marketplace
in
2022
entrepreneurs
and
developers
from
Tanzania,
Ethiopia,
Kenya,
Nigeria
and
more
worked
on
creating
solutions
for
everything
from
remittances
and
micro
loans
to
education
and
Healthcare.
2022
is
a
landmark
year
for
cardano
the
wide
the
world
and
the
markets
may
have
been
among
the
most
challenging
we've
seen
But
the
community
kept
on
building.
A
So
as
the
year
came
to
a
close,
we
ushered
in
the
age
of
Voltaire
at
Scott
Fest
in
Edinburgh.
The
future
of
blockchain
technology
depends
on
getting
governments
right
and
in
2023.
An
enhanced
governance
system
within
a
new
members-based
organization
will
provide
enhanced
Frameworks
for
the
continuing
development
and
Technical
stewardship
of
cardano
by
the
community
for
the
community
to
watch
that
and
catch
up
with
the
latest
presentations
from
our
Edinburgh
event
check

the
YouTube
playlist
in

below
so
farewell
to
2022
and
here's
to
an
exciting
2023,
Happy
New
Year
to
us
all.
