Here’s my quick summary of Frederik’s closing speech:
- A summit led by CF, but built together with the community
- Increasing engagement from people and institutions beyond Cardano
- A vision for a decentralized global trust infrastructure, free from centralized control
- Stronger community support through Draper’s 3 year fund and initiatives like Venture Hub, Intersect, and Pragma
Most blockchains out there aren’t truly decentralized, their governance is centralized, and many have just turned into playgrounds for VCs.
Cardano is clearly taking a very different path. It’s staying true to the core value of decentralization, empowering builders, and giving rise to diverse new products.
I’m sure the next Summit will bring together even more people and even more amazing projects.
Frederik Gregaard (@F_Gregaard) closed the @CardanoSummit 2025 on a high with a double announcement today:
• The Venture Hub has launched the Cardano Accelerator Program: Cardano’s new engine for ventures and enterprises.💡
• The Cardano Foundation is proud to announce its collaboration with @DraperDragon and @Draper_u University on plans for an upcoming Cardano x Draper Dragon ecosystem fund. 📈
More to come on both very soon!
Both set to supercharge real-world adoption.
