Founder Charles Hoskinson said that community feedback factored into the decision.<\/p>\n
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano blockchain, has confirmed that CIP-69<\/a> will be included in the network\u2019s upcoming Chang hard fork.<\/p>\n Hoskinson said<\/a>, “I saw the requests coming in for CIP-69.. there seems to be a lot of community demand for it, and the CF also has been pushing for CIP-69 to be included in Chang.”<\/p>\n Developers of decentralized applications (dApps) on Cardano have been struggling with a mutual dependency issue, in which two validators \u2013 which confirm transactions \u2013 need to recognize each other to function, severely limiting the design and safety of DeFi protocols.<\/p>\n “One issue is two validators that need to know each other’s hash. This is a substantial barrier and limits our design space,\u201d the Cardano developers\u2019 forum reads<\/a> “Tokens are usually made to be able to be minted at any time, leading to further checks on the frontend and more fragility in the systems.”<\/p>\n The proposed CIP-69 seeks to enhance security and confidence for developers building on Cardano. This change would permit a more versatile use of a single validator script, allowing it to serve multiple roles, including minting and spending of tokens, without the complications arising from current design constraints.<\/p>\n Cardano has scheduled its next major upgrade for June 30, although Hoskinson acknowledged that introducing CIP-69 will likely delay the Chang hard fork.<\/p>\n According to CoinGecko data, trading volumes for Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ADA, soared over 90% in the last 24 hours, with $500 million of ADA changing hands.<\/p>\n Despite the torrid volume, however, ADA is down 2.2%% on the day amid a broad market selloff<\/a>.<\/p>\n
