Introducing Partner Chains: A Revolutionary Framework for New Blockchains
Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Cardano blockchain and CEO of Input Output Global (IOG), has unveiled a groundbreaking framework called Partner Chains. This framework has the potential to revolutionize the launch and operation of new blockchains.
Despite being led by one of the most visionary leaders in the Web3 realm, Cardano has struggled to attract developers compared to its competitors like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The Partner Chains framework allows modular blockchain technology to leverage Cardano’s offerings. It enables networks to build their own computation layer using a modular framework while still benefiting from the settlement capabilities provided by Cardano’s Settlement Layer.
Cardano Embraces Polkadot Technology
The first blockchain to utilize the Partner Chains framework will be IOG’s Midnight, which focuses on safeguarding sensitive data. To implement this framework, IOG plans to use Polkadot’s Software Development Kit (SDK) – Substrate stack for Partner chains.
Decline in Developer Activities
Interestingly, despite the introduction of new technologies, developer activities within Cardano have significantly declined over the past year. Core developers have decreased by 13.7% and code commits have dropped by 26.1% in the last 365 days.
Hot Take: Partner Chains Could Reinvigorate Cardano’s Developer Community
The introduction of the Partner Chains framework could be a game-changer for Cardano, attracting more developers and reigniting interest in the blockchain. By providing a modular framework and leveraging Cardano’s capabilities, this framework opens up new possibilities for innovation and collaboration within the Cardano ecosystem.
