Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed that participating in the Joe Rogan Experience, one of the most watched podcasts in the world, is part of their media plans. However, Hoskinson did not give a clear date for when this meeting would take place. Stating that he expects the Cardano ecosystem to make further progress, Hoskinson stated that he wants the project to reach a stronger point before embarking on a major program.
Joe Rogan target is on the agenda again
Hoskinson described his recent extensive interview with Shawn Ryan as a dry run for the Joe Rogan show. This statement reignited Joe Rogan allegations that have been circulating in the community for years. This possibility has been talked about around Cardano for a long time, and the phrase “Rogan after Goguen”, used in reference to the Goguen period in the project’s road map, was prominent in the community for a while.
While it is estimated that a possible participation in Joe Rogan’s program could reach millions of viewers, it is reported that this could provide mainstream visibility for the ADA. ADA is trading nearly 95% below its all-time high. For this reason, it is stated that media visibility that will reach large audiences can be seen as a remarkable development for Cardano.
While Hoskinson confirmed that the plan to appear on the Joe Rogan show is still on the table, he revealed that uncertainty regarding the exact date remains.
Hoskinson had previously reached a wide audience in a nearly five-hour broadcast on the Lex Fridman Podcast in 2021. Despite this, years of invitations and recent participation rumors on the Joe Rogan side have not turned into a concrete schedule.
SpaceX and new commercial plans
In addition to his media plans, Hoskinson also talked about some more ambitious projects. These included details related to a confidentiality agreement signed with Elon Musk’s SpaceX company. Hoskinson said that within the scope of this agreement, there was a large-scale promotional campaign for Cardano to purchase a SpaceX mission. Accordingly, it was also stated that seats could be reserved for ADA and NIGHT holders.
Mini dictionary: NDA is a confidentiality agreement that stipulates that the parties will not share certain information with the public. SpaceX is known as Elon Musk’s company that develops space transportation and rocket technologies.
Hoskinson also emphasized that he is confident in the legal position of the Cardano network. He said that although the industry continues to be volatile, he thinks Cardano ADA and Midnight NIGHT networks will become mature blockchains.
“Cardano ADA will be a mature blockchain, Midnight NIGHT will be a mature blockchain, so I’m not worried about the regulatory landscape from our perspective, but there are challenges in the industry.”
Governance change signal for Pogun project
Hoskinson also pointed to a new commercial integration involving a project called Pogun. He said that this agreement aims to connect the potential benefit from the use of Pogun directly to the Cardano ADA treasury. Stating that the technical infrastructure is largely ready, Hoskinson noted that the initiative has become suitable for commercial use and that he will propose changes on the governance side in order for some open options to be approved.
Cardano is known as a blockchain network that offers smart contract support. Hoskinson’s latest statements show that he is trying to advance media plans that can reach large audiences, on the one hand, and the commercial and corporate expansions of the ecosystem, on the other hand, within the same framework.
