The Cardano Blockchain wins in Japan after the recent doubts about their influence in the White House. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently paid the former Japanese digital minister Takuya Hirai a courtesy visit.
Japan’s former digital minister Takuya Hirai did not explicitly commented on the details of the conversation, but noted that they both had a “meaningful exchange of views”. Takuya also praised Cardano for his far -reaching support in the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Hoskinson said on its part that eR and Takuya talked about topics such as digital transformation, zero-knowledge cryptography, blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). The Cardano founder mentioned the trip last week after he had not received an invitation for the crypto summit in the White House on Friday, March 7th:
“I had travel plans to Japan, should get on a plane shortly, and I will be in Japan on Friday, March 7th.”
Cardano has a long story with Japan. Hoskinson and other co -founders designed the 2015 project in a restaurant in Osaka. More than 90 % of the ADA pre-sale participants from 2015 to 2017 were also Japanese. The team even organized an event in Tokyo to celebrate the start of Cardano.
