Community optimism and future developments

Furthermore, the community seems to have keyed in Charles Hoskinson’s optimism of the blockchain reaching new heights in 2025. The Cardano founder proposed expanding innovations, sharing a "fire rises" post earlier.
He said this would involve dApps upgrades, Partnerchains, Bitcoin DeFi and Midnight network development.
