LAUNCH CONFIRMED: Today, around 17:26 UTC we successfully submitted an update proposal to the #Cardano mainnet, to trigger a hard fork combinator event on Sunday 💪🙌 #Cardano $ADA 1/6
The #Alonzo HFC event will be the most significant upgrade yet, laying the firmest of foundations for an exciting new era of #smartcontracts on #Cardano. Here's the moment – just minutes ago – that Sam submitted the upgrade proposal 2/6 🤘
On Sunday, core Plutus #smartcontracts capability will be deployed to the #Cardano mainnet using our unique HFC technology. Along with compatibility upgrades across the whole software stack 3/6
Exchanges, third-parties and the #Cardano stake pool operator community all continue to get #ReadyFor#Alonzo. Thank to you all for your continuing support 🙏 #Cardano $ADA 4/6
We’re on our way. Remember, this may be the end of one long journey. But it’s the start of an exciting new phase in our development as a #smartcontracts network. We’ll have lots to share over the months ahead as our exciting ecosystem continues to grow 5/6 $ADA #Cardano
Start by joining us this Sunday LIVE to hear more from the team about what to expect as we head towards the Cardano summit, and beyond. More details on that a little later this week. Till then… onward! #Cardano $ADA 6/6

IMPORTANT THREAD: Over the past 24 hours we have seen a lot of social media speculation (and let's face it, outright FUD & misinformation) over Cardano’s ledger approach and specifically ‘concurrency’. Let’s clear this up. #Cardano $ADA 1/n
Cardano is a UTxO (Unspent Transaction Output) blockchain, which utilizes a different programming paradigm for DApps than on account based blockchains like $ETH 2/n
The specific flavor #Cardano uses is the eUTxO – or extended model which we believe offers greater security, allows for fee predictability (no nasty surprises...) and offers more powerful parallelization. 3/n
❗🍴 Today, we have just submitted an upgrade proposal to the #Cardano testnet to hardfork the chain into the #Alonzo era and enable smart contract capability. This will take effect within the next few hours. 1/5
🤯🍄 This is a major milestone and marks the final, critical stage prior to hard forking the #Cardano mainnet, on target for 12 September. $ADA

🔬 Over the days ahead, we’ll be doing final checks and testing within a controlled environment to ensure that we are ready to upgrade the main #Cardano network. And usher in a transformative era of #smartcontracts capability.

ALONZO UPDATE: We’re delighted to announce that we have now successfully spun up #AlonzoPurple and have today begun the new user onboarding process👍 💪
1/12
This is an exciting and important next step in the #Alonzo journey. In fact, the #Cardano journey. With the support of our OG community testers on the Blue & White phases, #AlonzoPurple will be the first fully public Cardano testnet to support #smartcontracts 🚀
2/12
It's an important moment, marking significant progress in the rollout of #smartcontracts on the #Cardano mainnet which is targeted for the end of August/early September.

ALONZO UPDATE: We’re continuing to make good progress with the rollout program and this week we’ve started onboarding new SPOs and developers to join #AlonzoWhite. Here’s a thread to share how we're rolling!😀👍 #Cardano $ADA @Cardano 1/14
To recap, we're building out the remaining #Goguen#Smartcontracts capability via a series of color-coded testnets, supported by the #Cardano community. We're adding new community testers as we go, steadily adding new users as we add functionality, test, iterate & improve 2/14
On Monday, we asked our #AlonzoBlue community testing team to nominate and bring new members into the program (a mix of experienced SPOs and developers) ready for #AlonzoWhite. We’ve now also invited and started onboarding these new users 3/14
