Tested in the pre-production environment of Cardano Earlier this month, the upgrade should mainly benefit the interoperability of decentralized applications and securing cross-chain developments with Plutus, the blockchain’s smart contract platform.

” Interoperability Is the key to the growth of blockchain. As more and more DApps are built on Cardano , it is essential that they are not siloed into a single ecosystem, allowing users to interact with different blockchains and access a wider range of services.” explained Input Output.

In a blog post published in January, the Hong Kong-based company stated that Plutus would now support ECDSA and Schnorr signatures to give developers more choices in terms of signature design (multi and threshol) natively in Cardano.
