This week was less about announcements and more about things happening in practice. We hosted the Skyline team (Srdjan Vukmirovic, Nemanja Nedic and Darko Capko) for a deep dive into the messy, complex reality of building cross-chain infrastructure. They broke down

This Thursday we’re hosting an X Space on Ouroboros Tachys. We’ll talk about what Tachys enables for Cardano partner chains, how it fits into the broader Ouroboros roadmap, and why latency, finality, and specialisation matter for real-world use cases. We’ll be joined by

Leios and Tachys solve different parts of the same problem. Leios focuses on Cardano itself. Tachys gives partner chains more freedom to go faster. Together, they unlock much bigger gains. 👇🏻

"Tachys as a protocol variant allows serving use cases where the higher and less predictable latency of the Cardano mainnet is unacceptable from a user perspective." – Philipp Kant, Ensurable Systems

We reached a major milestone this week with the publication of the first Ouroboros Tachys CIP. More here. ensurable.systems/f/ouroboros-ta…

Digital Assets Daily Canton Network How can you run a privacy blockchain that only allows permissioned institutions to validate its blocks. Nice database though!

Ouroboros Tachys is a CIP and this matters for Cardano Community's future as a platform. A new Cardano Improvement Proposal authored by Duncan Coutts (Well-Typed) and Philipp Kant (Ensurable Systems) has been opened for community review. It specifies Ouroboros Tachys: a consensus protocol

Anyone interested in formal verification of smart contracts should join us tomorrow to see some of the work that’s being done at IOG to enable this in an automated fashion. We are doing our best to make it as easy as possible to formally verify Cardano protocols!

In our recent Space on Ouroboros Tachys, Neil Davies, Philipp Kant (Ensurable Systems), Kevin Hammond, and Duncan Coutts (Well-Typed) broke down what Tachys changes at the consensus level. Mainnet Praos uses a private leader schedule for maximum resilience in a global,

Cardano Mainnet has transitioned into epoch 614, and the Governance Action to increase Transaction and Block Memory Units (Part 1 of 2) has changed the protocol-parameters now live on chain 🔥

Cardano Sancho-Testnet was successfully upgraded to protocol version 11 via a so called "intra era hardfork" 🔥

YESS!! This is our first decentralized technical change without touching node code - TRULY AMAZING STUFF ❤️‍🔥 And Im not sure if everyone realizes how big of a deal this actually is! Congrats to us 👏👏🤩

Just did an atomic swap between Cardano and Bitcoin with Vaibhav Solanki(Gintama)🇮🇳 🐊 It works. It just works
