Staking on Cardano Progresses Successfully. Thanks to the release of Daedalus 2.0.1, staking has been incredibly fast. All the bugs in the previous version have been fixed making it possible for people to redeem their ITN rewards without hassle.
The delegation process on the blockchain is also easy and IOHK has released visual aids that make it even easier for people to follow through the process. A process that would have been complicated is now easy and fast. To make things even easier, Cardano released a new version of the Yoroi Nightly android wallet.
According to Quantstamp, a company that audits Cardano’s network, the Cardano codebase is only second to Ethereum Prysm. It is better than Tezos and other decentralized computers. While the Cardano blockchain doesn’t have smart contract capacities yet, they will be available soon. Quantstamp acknowledged that Cardano and IOHK put a lot of effort into the development and deployment of Shelley. Part of it was as follows;
“We also audited Prysm from Eth 2.0 and we would say that in terms of quality, similar to Prysm, it is one of the best codebases we have seen.”
One of the most popular Cardano supporters, Cardanians.io, noted that the decentralized Cardano ecosystem presents one of the greatest opportunities that will promote the adoption of the Cardano blockchain and the ADA token. In Cardanians.io’s words;
“It is going to be even better with tokens, smart contracts, and other features… #Blockchain technology is a revolution and we need people.”
