Our take
Blockchain technology has the potential to change the world, but its full potential is yet to be realised. Input Output's fully decentralized platform solves this problem through rigorous research practices and evidence-based software development, building high-assurance blockchain products for both the public and private sectors.
Input Output was founded by Charles Hoskinson, one of the most important names in cryptocurrency and blockchain. This has lent the company considerable weight, credibility and insight, allowing it to scale effectively. Input Output is best known for its flagship product, Cardano, a blockchain platform targeted at innovators, but its suite of products also includes Daedalus, ATALA, and Mantis.
Input Output's main challenge will be competing with other blockchain research and engineering companies. However, the strength of its technology and the expertise of its leadership should allow the company to remain competitive.
