Security is of the utmost importance in any cryptographic protocol for safeguarding the integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity of transactions and user data.

Mithril is the protocol built on Cardano that prioritizes security while aiming to enhance the efficiency of chain synchronization and state bootstrapping. Mithril introduces a stake-based threshold multi-signature…

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…

Identity is fundamental to every aspect of our lives. It serves as a central concept in daily interactions, whether in personal or professional spheres, with individuals, organizations, and institutions such as insurance companies, banks, service providers, and more. Physical documents like passports, driver’s licenses, or ID cards (ie, credentials) offer a simple means to…

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…

Input Output Global and MLabs are collaborating on developing a reference implementation of an auction using Hydra protocols. The first outcome of this collaboration is a paper outlining possible approaches to the implementation of digital asset auctions using the Hydra Head protocol with respective advantages and current limitations. This post introduces a brief summary of the…
