Unlocking more opportunities with PlutusV3

PlutusV3, now available for testing on SanchoNet, introduces advanced Plutus primitives and so provides more tools for developers and unlocks more possibilities for writing smart contracts.

Improved developer experience and smart contract adoption are critical to the flourishing smart contract landscape on Cardano. Over the past year, the emergence and growth of a host of community-built developer tooling and alternative languages have added significantly to developer options and the vibrancy of the Cardano builder ecosystem. To continue building out capability, the Plutus and cryptography teams at Input Output Global…

Mithril nears mainnet release

Mithril is a stake-based signature scheme and a protocol that improves the speed and efficiency of nodes' syncing times. Mithril boosts node syncing time, offers security, and empowers decentralized decision-making. With Mithril, Cardano's network becomes more efficient, streamlined, and capable of supporting a wider range of applications and use cases.

Mithril's proof of concept was released in August 2022. In December, the team officially presented Mithril, revealing more about its benefits, applications, and roadmap…

Dynamic P2P is available on mainnet

Dynamic P2P networking is an important evolution for Cardano and a further boost to the network's performance, resilience, and decentralization. By automating the peer selection process, Dynamic P2P enables enhanced communication between distributed nodes and simplifies the process of running a relay or a block-producing node. This eliminates the need for static configurations…
