Recently, Charles Hoskinson, Co-Founder and CEO of IOHK, the company responsible for building Cardano ($ADA), commented on what’s in store for Cardano users and developers in the coming year.
Last Friday (November 12), Hoskinson tweeted:
In a blog post published on October 28, IOHK said:
“With the evolution of the Plutus platform, we will be inviting the developer community to deploy their own tooling and create off-chain code for their DApps running on Cardano. We have already seen a hive of activity in this area, through both the Alonzo testnet program and Project Catalyst.
“So while we test the platform with our engineers/QA and the developer community, we’ll be making gradual improvements and adding more capabilities and functionality. The goal? From the Alonzo hardfork and the arrival of Plutus smart contracts, a rapid scaling of the developer experience, with new tools, APIs and environments to support an already burgeoning ecosystem of talent.“
