ADAvaultThere are a few new scaling technologies on the roadmap that will help Cardano to operate faster and accommodate more users and dApps. The main ones planned are: In the recent paper by Pyrros Chaidos, and Prof Aggelos Kiayias they explore a new stake-based primitive, stake-based threshold multisignatures (STM, or “Mithril” signatures), which allows the…
A couple of new research papers have just been released by the research powerhouse that is Prof Aggelos Kiayias and team. Worth linking because they both move the current state of knowledge forward significantly. Both worth reading, albeit complex to understand. Firstly PEReDi: Privacy-Enhanced, Regulated and Distributed Central Bank Digital Currencies, by Aggelos Kiayias, Markulf…

You might also know that Ethereum is planning to transition to PoS to unlock some of the same benefits enjoyed by Cardano such as faster transaction speeds, lower transaction costs, reduced…
Tim interviews Aggelos. Really good update on the research agenda and goals. For us here at ADAvault the strong research driven agenda behind Cardano has always massive part of the attraction to the project. That and the fact that the research team are truly world class.
Another day another major innovation for the crypto world. Yep, Prof Aggelos Kiayias has been at it again. As an extension to Babel Fees (remember?) Aggelos explains another significant innovation that will be coming to Cardano in due course: stable fees. In a recent blog he notes: Facilitating transactions in cryptocurrency platforms stumbles on the…
