In 2022, IOG increased its investment in academic research with more funding for the Edinburgh blockchain research hub and the launch of a Blockchain Research Hub at the David Tse Lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. In 2020, IOHK donated $500,000 for the University of Wyoming to create a blockchain laboratory. This resulted in the Ouroboros blockchain consensus protocol. In 2017, IOHK sponsored research labs focusing on blockchain technology at the University of Edinburgh and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Hoskinson has also said that venture capital involvement might lead to an outsized control of a project. Hoskinson did not pursue venture capital for Cardano, saying that it ran counter to the blockchain's principles. IOHK's key project is Cardano, a public blockchain and smart contract platform that hosts the ADA cryptocurrency. In late 2014, Hoskinson and former Ethereum colleague Jeremy Wood formed IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong), an engineering and research company, to build cryptocurrencies and blockchains. Buterin and the Ethereum team removed Hoskinson in 2014 after a dispute over whether the project should be commercial (Hoskinson's view) or a nonprofit (Buterin's view). He joined the Ethereum team as one of five original founders with Vitalik Buterin in late 2013 and held the position of chief executive.

In 2013, Hoskinson quit a consulting job to begin a project called the Bitcoin Education Project. He also claimed repeatedly to have worked for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA), though DARPA confirmed he had not. Colorado Boulder verified that he had attended as a half-time undergraduate math major, but did not earn a degree. However, Denver did not have a graduate program in mathematics. Hoskinson has claimed that he had entered a PhD program but had dropped out.
Hoskinson attended Metropolitan State University of Denver and the University of Colorado Boulder "to study analytic number theory before moving into cryptography through industry exposure". (formerly IOHK), and the Cardano blockchain platform, and was a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain platform.
