Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson had commendations for former Cardano technical contributor John Alan Woods, who is now joining Algorand as its CTO.
Working with John while he was standing in for Duncan during his paternity leave was fun. I’m delighted to see John step up as a CTO, and it opens up many great opportunities for future collaboration and research. Algorand is an excellent project with exceptional people. https://t.co/nzIGqzSAVz

The Cardano creator also praised the Algorand community, saying, “Algorand is an excellent project with exceptional people,” adding that new prospects for future research and collaboration between the two projects might be in place.
John Alan Woods worked briefly to stand in for Duncan Coutts, IOG’s principal technical architect, who went on paternity leave but has now returned to his full duties.
In a recent interview, Coutts expressed his delight at the scope of current development at Cardano and mentioned that a lot of big-impact projects were in the pipeline.

A new Cardano book for newcomers has also been introduced by IOG as part of its push for crypto education: Cardano for the Masses: A Financial Operating System for People Who Don’t Have One.
