🚀 Cardano Van Rossem Hard Fork JUST ENACTED on Mainnet 🫡 Protocol v11 is LIVE! ⬆️ Cardano leveled up today through fully on-chain governance. Here’s what it delivers: 1. Faster & Cheaper Plutus Smart Contracts 🧠 Biggest user win: Updated cost model = lower execution costs, better performance, more efficient DeFi, and reduced fees for complex dApps. No rewrites needed – just better economics for builders. 2. New Cryptographic Primitives 🔐 Including BLS12-381 support. Unlocks stronger ZK proofs, cross-chain interoperability, advanced identity, and privacy apps. Future-proofing for scaling & beyond. 3. Governance Proves Itself 🏛️ Historic first: DReps voted, SPOs upgraded, Constitutional Committee ratified – all on-chain. No central team deciding. Cardano just showed it can self-upgrade decentralized style. 4. Ledger & Node Upgrades ⚙️ Cleaner rules, performance tweaks, reliability boosts, and solid foundation for Leios & more. Quiet but crucial for long-term strength. 90%+ of blocks were already V11-ready. Smooth activation – thanks to the Hard Fork Working Group, DReps, SPOs & everyone involved! This is Cardano executing.
