Cardano faces the biggest change in its history
Cardano will implement its next Hard Fork this June, ushering in the new era of the blockchain, Voltaire.
The eras of Cardano are phases that enhance the network’s functionalities and scalability. Each era focuses on aspects such as decentralization, smart contracts, and decentralized governance, making Cardano a robust and efficient blockchain for decentralized applications.
Voltaire is the final step towards complete decentralization, leaving the future development of Cardano in the hands of its community, establishing a new treasury system that will incentivize user participation.
Coin of the week: ROSE
ROSE, the native token of the Oasis Network protocol, has grown by more than 10% in the past week and nearly 50% in the last 30 days.
ROSE has managed to maintain an upward trend this month, thanks to a strong increase in institutional demand, with investment firms like Grayscale requesting the creation of a “privacy ETF” led by ROSE.
ROSE is also trending due to its recent partnerships with Google Cloud and Meta, which will implement its privacy features into their own infrastructures.
