Hashoshi sat down with Cardano veteran Rick McCracken to discuss the Cardano 360 event which outlined the timeline for the Cardano Goguen update which will bring smart contracts to Cardano. The Cardano Mary hard fork occurred recently, which set the stage for the final update to bring Plutus and Marlowe smart contracts to mainnet in the form of the Alonzo hard fork. As we approach the public testnet for Goguen, the “d=0” date for Cardano is upon us, representing 100% of blocks being produced by independent Cardano stake pool operators.
