Founder of Cardano promotes revolution with “blockchain” in Argentina and Peru

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, participated in Peru Blockchain Conference 2025 through a video message, in which he shared his vision of Blockchain’s future and his enormous potential to boost the autonomy of societies.

Although it is usually talked about “blockchain” as if it were a synonym for network or cryptocurrency, strictly speaking This is the distributed digital record that stores the transaction history. That is, a blockchain is only one of the pieces that make up these decentralized systems, and their value does not lies so much in its block structure, but in the fact that the data is replicated in multiple nodes to guarantee their integrity.

While Hoskinson could not be present at the event, he expressed support with a video presentation and He highlighted the crucial role that decentralization could play in Peru. The cryptootic team was present covering the day.

During his speech, the specialist emphasized that cryptactive networks should not be evaluated solely as financial tools, but as technologies capable of redefining the relationship between citizens and their governments, which considers it broken in the times. “We have to fight for the common citizen,” he said.

From your point of view, Decentralized systems allow people to recover real control over their assets and datasomething especially relevant in contexts where traditional institutions do not respond properly to the needs of the population.

On the other hand, Hoskinson distinguished the case of Argentina, where he stressed that the adoption of digital assets already represents a high percentage of GDP. AND He expressed his expectation that the country will become the first to dissolve its central bank —A measure promoted by President Javier Milei – and adopt decentralized strategies.

«The question we should ask ourselves is why cryptocurrencies are as competitive in countries as Argentina or Peru. The answer is simple: people really allow their money. This is a problem that countries like the United States also face today, where the relationship between the government and the governed is broken. It is time for each community to empower without waiting for the government to come to solve everything. “

The cryptocurrency specialist also highlighted the importance of sovereign digital identity and control over personal data. He pointed out that citizens must have the right to decide what information to share, with whom and under what conditions, without the need to reveal more than strictly necessary.

“When you interact with any entity, be it a government or a company, you should be you who determines what data they can see and which do not,” said the founder of the network to house decentralized systems and applications, Cardano.

Finally, the developer celebrated the realization of the event in Peru and encouraged the local community to continue building a robust ecosystem based on principles of transparency, inclusion and technological sovereignty. “I am extremely excited and anxious to see which path each of you takes,” he concluded.

In addition to the participation of Hoskinson, the conference had key interventions such as that of former presidential candidate Hernando de Soto, who proposed to use cryptoactive networks to formalize property rights in Peru.

As Cryptonotics reported, the economist said that millions of Peruvians live without legal titles over their land or businesses, which prevents them from transforming those assets into productive capital. Individuals and companies could use distributed accounting networks to unify records.

In the same line of institutional modernization, Congressman Jorge Zeballos spoke about his initiative to Implement digital vote Through distributed accounting technology By Blockchain, with the aim of facilitating the participation of Peruvians abroad. The proposal, approved by Congress in March 2025, establishes a system that will allow vote online through digital certificates and identity verification.
