Cardano: Exciting Innovations in the Weekly Development Report
Cardano (ADA) has been actively working on new developments and innovations for its blockchain and ecosystem, as revealed in the latest weekly development report by Essential Cardano.
Updates to Cardano’s Lace Wallet
A notable highlight from the report is the updates made to Cardano’s Lace wallet. The team has introduced a feature that allows users to choose the delegate ratio between different stake pools and integrated portfolio persistence. They have also resolved user experience issues.
The Lace wallet, launched earlier this year, received positive feedback for its functionalities and multiple use cases. The development team promised to continue introducing updates to enhance its features.
Updates on DApp Connector and UI
The report mentions that users can expect an update on the DApp connector, enabling them to activate it with selected extensions like those listed on CIP-95. Additionally, the wallet’s user interface will reflect different types of governance actions soon.
Plutus Tools Team Optimizations
The Plutus tools team identified key issues related to the Cardano blockchain using the Marconi API. They also tested the new “Cardano-node-emulator” with this solution, which will be integrated into the blockchain’s smart contract code. The team made optimizations to Marconi, improving synchronization times and overall performance.
Hydra and Mithril Team Updates
The Hydra team focused on improving network usability and enhancing resilience. Meanwhile, the Mithril team released an update allowing support for specific actions on the network and made corrections in the Mithril nodes.
Moving Towards Voltaire Stage
Cardano is preparing for its final development stage, Voltaire, which will focus on governance. ADA holders were provided with the Voltaire GovTool as part of the preparations. This tool will enable them to register as delegate representatives (DReps), delegate their voting power to other DReps, and participate in governance decisions.
Hot Take: Cardano Continues to Innovate and Prepare for Governance
Cardano’s latest weekly development report showcases the ongoing efforts to bring exciting innovations to its blockchain and ecosystem. With updates to the Lace wallet, improvements in UI and DApp connector, optimizations by the Plutus tools team, and updates from Hydra and Mithril teams, Cardano is demonstrating its commitment to enhancing user experience and performance.
As Cardano moves towards the final development stage of Voltaire, it is clear that governance is a key focus. The introduction of the Voltaire GovTool empowers ADA holders to actively participate in decision-making processes. Cardano continues to position itself as a leading blockchain platform that combines innovation with decentralized governance.
