The Cardano Community is Excited for Valentine’s Day
By releasing its eagerly awaited SECP mainnet update on Valentine’s Day, Cardano (ADA) is stirring up the enthusiasm. The “Valentine Upgrade,” as it has been called, will launch on February 14 at 21:44 UTC.
Valentine upgrade preparations are under progress
On February 10, Tim Harrisson, the vice president of Input Output’s Community, tweeted about an internal message regarding the upgrade. The document stated that the “Valentine Upgrade” will replace the SCEP upgrade, which was initially proposed in November 2022. The update intends to accelerate cross-chain network advancements.
Users of Node Are Encouurged to Upgrade
Input Output’s community coordinator, Becky Hopwood, has urged node users to ensure that they have updated to the most recent version (1.35.5) ahead of the mainnet upgrade’s activation. There will be a delay between the mainnet update and the 1.35.4 node.
Innovative Built-In Features to Increase Network Security
The Plutus cryptography system will now have new built-in features thanks to the Valentine Upgrade. These features provide Plutus DApp developers a variety of multi-signature choices while also enhancing network security.
Collaboration Leads to Improvements
The EMURGO technical team, Input Output, and the Cardano Foundation all contributed to the update proposal. The effectiveness of the changes was tested in virtual testing environments, and exchange engineering teams collaborated with developers and operators of stake pools.
Improvements to Cross-Chain Developments and Interoperability
The ADA community anticipates several advantages from the Valentine Upgrade, including greater cross-chain advances and improved interoperability. Now that developers can create apps that link ADA to other networks, the platform will have a competitive advantage.
Despite the negative mood, optimism
The Cardano community and investors continue to be upbeat about the platform’s development despite a downturn in pricing and unfavorable investor sentiment. On December 18, on-chain development surged to 89.7, the highest level ever. Although analysts anticipate a brief price decline, the long-term future for Cardano is promising.
