# 2025 Vision & Roadmap

## Vision

Cardano envisions a future where it serves as the robust and scalable
foundation for a decentralized global economy. This will be achieved by
significantly enhancing L1 performance through the Leios protocol and
optimizing the current codebase, while simultaneously expanding the
capabilities of L2 solutions like Hydra and Midgard. By improving developer
experience through enhanced APIs, robust tooling, and a focus on
decentralization, Cardano aims to empower developers to build innovative and
impactful applications. Furthermore, the expansion of programmable assets,
including advanced features like account abstraction and custodian regulated
stablecoins, will unlock new possibilities for decentralized finance and
beyond. This vision emphasizes a strong commitment to research, community
collaboration, and the long-term sustainability of the Cardano ecosystem.

A thriving ecosystem is essential for realizing this vision. This requires a
multi-faceted approach that fosters innovation, attracts new users and
developers, and drives real-world adoption. A key component of this strategy
is the cultivation of strategic partnerships with organizations across various
sectors, focusing on developing and deploying Cardano-based solutions that
address specific industry needs. We will prioritize collaborations that align
with Cardano's core principles of security, scalability, and decentralization.

Beyond strategic partnerships, fostering a vibrant and engaged community is
paramount. We will invest in initiatives that empower developers to build
innovative dApps and tools on Cardano. This includes establishing incubator
and accelerator programs, organizing regular hackathons and offering developer
grants, and expanding an ecosystem fund to support promising projects.
Furthermore, we will prioritize improving the developer experience through
enhanced APIs, robust tooling, and comprehensive documentation, making it
easier for developers to get started with Cardano and build impactful
applications.

Finally, building a strong and supportive community is crucial for long-term
success. We will focus on initiatives that nurture and engage the Cardano
community, such as meetups, online forums, and ambassador programs. By
combining strategic partnerships, developer support, and community engagement,
we are confident in our ability to create a thriving ecosystem that drives the
adoption of Cardano and realizes its full potential.
