Cardano's Vision 2030 roadmap hinges on 500% ADA price gain amid modest protocol revenue target

On Dec. 17, Intersect's Product Committee published the "Vision 2030" roadmap, setting strict Key Performance Indicators for Cardano, including 324 million annual transactions, 1 million monthly active wallets, and around $3 billion in TVL. The plan aims for at least 16 million ADA in yearly protocol revenue by 2030 and uses an illustrative $5 ADA price — about 500% above current levels — to show potential earnings, while shifting the network toward an enterprise-focused "operating system" model that relies heavily on Layer 2 infrastructure.
