I'm thrilled to be taking the next step in my career and joining Algorand Foundation as CTO. I've had a wonderful time contributing to building Cardano at IOHK. We are all building the future of finance.
The latest to move over to #Algorand. (from #Cardano this time).
@InputOutputHK -> @AlgoFoundation.
Welcome @JohnAlanWoods new CTO. $algo $ada

Congrats John. Big loss for us at Cardano, bigger picture a win for the blockchain space.
Sad that we won’t see John on Cardano 360 anymore. But very excited to see what he will accomplish at Algorand.
This is just the start. I can see a brain drain into algo over the next year or so. Lots of legacy crypto heads will move over once they try the tech themselves.
Congrats!! Hopefully this move helps bridge the two communities and we see some cooperation down the road
On a different topic, did you see where Cardano chief architect John Woods has resigned from IOG for the Algorand Foundation? This makes 2 high profile employees now leaving IOG (Dor Garbash the other). Thoughts?
Why is no one in the community talking about the recent HUGE resignations from 2 top executives at IOG...Dor & John Woods? This is not good IMO.
Hey Dumpling, what's going on at IOG? You should hold a twitter space regarding the recent resignations at IOG of top executives..Dor & now John Woods (chief Cardano architect). This is somewhat worrisome, especially with the upgrade coming.
Something rotten in the state of IOG? First Dor Garbash, now John Woods. Why are top execs jumping ship?
RE: "Algorand is best in class in speed, scale and security" What about permissionless decentralization?The Foundation must *approve* relay servers.

Congrats to @JohnAlanWoods on the transition!
I had the pleasure to discuss with him about many tough technical challenges in Cardano, and I look forward to continue working with him in his new role in Algorand where I'm sure he'll continue pushing blockchain forward
Congratulation. Hope to see the future collaboration between Cardano and Algorand.
Congratulations @JohnAlanWoods So much appreciate all you’ve done for #Cardano We will miss you greatly. Huge win for #Algorand
Sorry to see you go. You had a very visible impact at IO for Cardano during the last 9-10 months.
Good luck to you and all the best!
Cardano and Algorand have similar principals and one day will become one big fam, maybe I’m overly optimistic 🤣🤣
Anyway good luck!
Congrats John!! You are going to kick ass as CTO. Excited to continue working with you in another rly cool ecosystem
Actually think the John Woods news is interesting. He was great imo so it’s easy to feel defeated, but after all for him it’s a job & I would have jumped at a Algorand CTO position too if I were him. Cardano isn’t about him, and one day Charles will leave us too. Community stronk
We need a Cardano-Algorand bridge so we can use whichever blockchain we want. Silvio and Charles get on very well so should we. Cardano Algorand competition makes both chains stronger. Win-Win for me.
Algorand is so lucky to have you! Thanks for all your contributions to Cardano and your C360 appearances will be missed. 👋🏽
Oh no. Not that I know you, but I feel you're very good at your job and will be a big loss to the Cardano team.
Congratulations! Thank you for your work with Cardano, look forward to what you can do with Algorand!
