2022 was a landmark year for the #Cardano ecosystem, and it was all because of you, the community. A global movement of developers, entrepreneurs & artists built new solutions, businesses, and experiences on rock-solid foundations.

From the earliest beginnings, you the community ensured the continued growth and success of #Cardano. So, IOG wanted to take a moment to reflect on 2022 and look forward to the age of #Voltaire.

The year began with a drive towards the #Vasil upgrade named after Vasil St. Dabov, one of #Cardano's ambassadors. #Vasil brought an increase to #Cardano's performance and scalability, giving a boost to the capabilities of the entire network.

In 2022, #CardanoCommunity members and business builders came together around the world at a host of events throughout the year, from discussing auditing and certification in Barcelona to exchanging ideas and sharing experiences in Panama.

At every step of the way, a global community paved the way for yet more innovation. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Austin, Texas, where you made a splash representing #Cardano at Consensus.

At Consensus IOG was proud to shine a light on the key components of #Cardano like sidechains, Plutus, #ProjectCatalyst, and many more.

This fall, we saw two incredible community-organized events. @cNFTcon in Las Vegas was a celebration of #Cardano's creator community. While @RareBloomEvent in Denver brought together builders from across the whole ecosystem.

IOG was a proud participant in both of these events, and we took the opportunity to introduce @lace_io, our new light wallet platform built to unlock #Web3 for everyone.

For our part, IOG closed out the year with #IOScotFest in Edinburgh, where we launched the Edinburgh Decentralization Index as part of a drive to add greater transparency and inclusive accountability to the decentralized technology space as a whole.

IOG also took the opportunity to introduce midnight, a new data protection-focused #Cardano sidechain.

And of course, we can't forget to mention the #CardanoSummit in Lausanne. An amazing celebration of everything accomplished in 2022, hosted in Switzerland by the @CardanoStiftung

IOG believes the future growth of #blockchain will be built on the core principles of academic research. So, we founded the Research Hub at @Stanford to bring together researchers from an array of fields & pave the way for a more decentralized future.

Education is also key. And this year IOG ran courses in #Haskell, #Plutus, #Marlowe, and Atala Prism for thousands of students.

We traveled to Mongolia for the graduation of our latest group of students in functional programming. #Cardano is a global platform, & IOG is committed to supporting education in emerging economies, so local solutions can be created for local challenges

The future of #blockchain depends on getting governance right & in 2023, an enhanced governance system within a new members-based organization will provide enhanced frameworks for the continuing development & technical stewardship of #Cardano

By the community. For the community.

So farewell to 2022, and here's to an exciting 2023.

Happy New Year to us all!🥂
