Web3 founder Lucky says Cardano governance and scaling keep ADA on his watchlist

A Web3 founder who goes by Lucky, described as a Bitcoin supporter since 2015, said he keeps an eye on Cardano alongside Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink, Monero, Sui and Bittensor, in commentary first reported by The Crypto Basic. He named governance as one reason ADA stays on his radar, pointing to the Chang hard fork as the point after which community participants gained a larger role in protocol upgrades, treasury spending and the network's direction. Both The Crypto Basic and Crypto News reported the same community approval of the Van Rossem hard fork, or Protocol Version 11, which The Crypto Basic described as the network's first fully community-approved protocol upgrade. On scaling, the two accounts describe a roadmap split between Ouroboros Leios at Layer-1 and Hydra at Layer-2, with Leios targeted for mainnet in December 2026 to raise throughput through parallelisation, and Crypto News adds that Hydra reached 1 million transactions per second in a Doom Tournament. Crypto News, which appears to be syndicating the same commentary rather than reporting it independently, also cites long-term ecosystem development as a further reason. The Crypto Basic's version of the piece ends before that section, so the ecosystem argument rests on a single republished source and is unconfirmed on its own. No price view, target or forecast was attached to Lucky's list in any of the three accounts.
