Shelley incentivized testnet has gone live. Cardano’s users are seemingly getting along with the stake pools due to the record of daily improvement. Cardano community expects a better 2020 when its network is expected to welcome full decentralization once Shelley’s testnet integrates into mainnet.
The euphoria of this blissful expectation has prompted the CEO of IOHK, Charles Hoskinson to recently express his delight to the upcoming developments and loads of fortune Shelley promises to incorporate into the Cardano ecosystem come 2020.
Charles Hoskinson Says “2020 is Our Year”
The CEO of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson has always been involved in the progress as Cardano blockchain gets ready for significant transformation in the coming year.
Before Hoskinson’s trending comment, a Cardano community members took it upon himself to update the ecosystem on Twitter about the progress of the stake pools.
In the tweet, the user identified as Octavio Mancilla captioned the list of stake pools and hinted that it’s 10 days after Shelley incentivized Testnet went live, and the already registered stake pools are now half of the target 1000, which recorded 455 according to the list he captioned.
The user then added that the target stake pools would make Cardano network 20 times more decentralized than EOS.
He said, “10 days into the Shelley Test Net and we have HALF of the target 1000 stake pools and 20x more decentralized than EOS! 2020 is ours for the taking!”
Charles Hoskinson was thrilled with what Octavio Mancilla asserted in the tweet, which then attracted a bullish response from the CEO.
He observed the progress of the stake pools via the list captioned and said the chain is indeed moving slowly, adding that 2020 is the year of the Cardano ecosystem.
Charles furthered by itemizing what the community members should expect in 2020.
He responded thus, “Moving the chains slowly. 2020 is our year. Smart contracts, scalability, decentralization, high assurance, governance. Time to make a dent in the universe.”

There he specifically shared that Cardano (ADA) will be a beast in 2020
He said, “What’s truly exciting about the recent releases is how fast we are able to move. Our scientists have done a remarkable job designing great protocols and our engineers are able to bring them to the market. Cardano in 2020 will be a beast.”
