Cardano Making Progress Towards Public Smart Contract Mainnet
Cardano has been making significant developments towards its public smart contract mainnet, which has caught the attention of the whales and investors. Despite the recent market volatility causing a 16% fall for ADA in the past week, Cardano is still up 551% for the year. However, the Digital Currency Group (DCG) has been spreading FUD to drive down the price of ADA.
Motley Fool Recognition for Cardano
Motley Fool’s recent recognition of Cardano as the top eco-friendly crypto, followed by XRP, Tezos, and Nano has brought positive attention to Cardano’s energy usage. ADA uses the same amount of energy that 600 American homes use, making it a reasonable trade-off for a revolutionary technology to improve the lives of billions.
All New Cardano Developer Portal and Alonzo Testnet Upgrade
Cardano’s all-new developer portal has received a lot of appreciation, and the CDP hosts many new projects. One of the most exceptional projects is ADATools.io, a real-time global tracker for the Cardano network and staking pools. Additionally, Cardano’s Alonzo testnet has matured, moving from the Alonzo Blue to Alonzo White, which offers smart contracts to a limited set of technical insiders. The Alonzo White will run for two to four weeks before moving to its next stage, and the final part of the Alonzo upgrade will go live in September of 2021.
