Recently, Charles Hoskinson, Co-Founder and CEO of IOHK, the company responsible for building Cardano ($ADA), commented on what’s in store for Cardano users and developers in the coming year.
Last Friday (November 12), Hoskinson tweeted:
I'm really loving how the roadmap for 2022 Cardano is coming together. It's a living ecosystem, growing, refining, adapting, and becoming stronger. The technology is unbelievable and we have so many great innovations coming to meet the hundreds of projects building on Cardano

blog post published on October 28, IOHK said:
“With the evolution of the Plutus platform, we will be inviting the developer community to deploy their own tooling and create off-chain code for their DApps running on Cardano. We have already seen a hive of activity in this area, through both the Alonzo testnet program and Project Catalyst.
“So while we test the platform with our engineers/QA and the developer community, we’ll be making gradual improvements and adding more capabilities and functionality. The goal? From the Alonzo hardfork and the arrival of Plutus smart contracts, a rapid scaling of the developer experience, with new tools, APIs and environments to support an already burgeoning ecosystem of talent.“
As for the hundreds of projects building on Cardano, here are some of the more notable ones courtesy of CardanoCube’s interactive map of Cardano’s Ecosystem:
As Twitter user “Cardians” pointed out on September 21, this past summer, over 150 projects were added to Cardano’s ecosystem:

Earlier today, Hoskinson mocked those people who say that Cardano is just a “ghost chain” with the help of a chart from Cardano Daily:
Pretty spooky ghost chain if you ask me https://t.co/2SG3F37UrI

Hoskinson also denied that he is the creator of Bitcoin:
No, I'm not and there is no reality where I ever could be. Bitcoin is a reflection of the thinking that came from the 80s and 90s. It's the capstone of the cyperpunk movement. Cardano is how I think about cryptocurrencies and it's for the 21st century
