🧵1/2 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗸: 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 On 14 February 2023, at the start of epoch 394, Cardano reached a significant milestone with the launch of the Valentine Hard Fork. This intra-era upgrade introduced new built-in functions to Plutus, supporting ECDSA and Schnorr signatures over the SECP256k1 curve, which expands the network’s cross-chain interoperability by enabling secure verification of transactions from other blockchains. In doing so, it has enabled the development of cross-chain decentralized applications, opening new opportunities for developers and users alike. As we commemorate this milestone, we recognize Cardano’s ongoing evolution and its commitment to fostering a more connected and innovative blockchain future.
