2023 has been a big year of development for Cardano (ADA), and one of Charles Hoskinson’s latest X posts suggests its developers will be keeping their heads down in 2024 as well. According to the post, “2024 will be the Mithril age of Cardano”.

Hoskinson also shared his expectations for what Mithril’s status will be next year. First, he predicts that the protocol will be up and running without interruption since epoch 425. Additionally, Hoskinson believes that the full node bootstrapping time will be reduced to under 20 minutes.
Chris O, a co-founder of the ADA Ghost Fund, also shared how impressed he is with Cardano’s development in his own X post on Friday. In his post, he compared Cardano’s Year-on-Year (YoY) development and growth.
In the past year, there has been a substantial increase of 24.8 million Cardano transactions, 44 more Cardano projects have been launched, the number of native tokens has surged by 2.9 million, and about 6,687 smart contracts have been introduced. Chris O believes this is huge for the project, especially considering the project achieved this in a bear market.
