✨ The flourishing #Cardano#DApp ecosystem continues to grow. Our community of developers are building, testing, and bringing more and more projects to life.
Here’s some news & announcements from projects #BuildingOnCardano we’ve spotted over the last 10 days ⤵️ 🧵1/n
That is, of course, just a flavor of the activity within the ecosystem with hundreds of projects busy #BuildingOnCardano. Massive thanks to all projects for sharing their news. 18/n

NETWORK UPDATE: Today, we have proposed the next parameter update as we continue to increase #Cardano network capacity in line with the plan. The proposal will increase block size by a further 8KB taking it from 72KB to 80KB.

This latest adjustment represents an increase of c. 11%.⬆️
In addition, an update proposal has also today been triggered to increase #Plutus script memory units per transaction on the #Cardano mainnet from the current 12.5M to 14M – an increase of 1.5M.
2/9
The increases to block size and memory units will both take effect at the boundary of epoch 319 on 4 Feb at 21:44:51 UTC and are in line with our announced plan to scale and optimize #Cardano network throughput.

We have an active community busy developing #DApps, ready to release them onto the #blockchain. It's already started, and more are coming out every week.

⛓@Milkomeda_com – Layer 2 Protocol for delivering EVM capabilities to non-EVM blockchains. Owned by its users and with the ability to deploy new sidechains to target other smart contract languages/VMs.
Back in April 2021, we created Essential Cardano – a community-maintained GitHub repo to chart our thriving ecosystem – as well as a comprehensive list of resources to help you learn more about #Cardano. 1/4 github.com/input-output-h…
Since then, we received hundreds of contributions & the list keeps on growing.🌱

PARAMETER CHANGE INCOMING: A few hours’ from now, a fresh network parameter update will increase #Plutus script memory units per transaction on the #Cardano mainnet from 11.25M to 12.5M – a 1.25M increase.
🧵⤵️
1/10
This will take effect at the boundary of epoch 317 today, Tuesday 25 January, at UTC 21:44:51. The increase will provide additional resources for #Plutus scripts and the DApps making use of them. For example, improving DEX throughput.
2/10
This adjustment is the next in a continuing series of planned network optimizations. We’ll continue to optimize the core network in a series of measured steps as we carefully & methodically scale #Cardano for future growth.

PARAMETER UPDATE: Today, we have commenced the update proposal process to increase Plutus script memory units per transaction on the #Cardano mainnet by 1.25M. This initial change will take effect at the boundary of epoch 317 on Tuesday 25th January at UTC 21:44:51 🧵↩️
The current #Plutus script memory units per transaction = 11.25M. After this change, it will be 12.5M. This incremental adjustment is the next in a continuing series of planned adjustments & network optimizations we’ll make as we start to scale #Cardano for future growth. 2/9
This change will provide increased resources for Plutus scripts and the DApps utilizing them. Once deployed, we shall monitor carefully over at least one epoch (5 days) to determine the next increment. Continuing close observation & orientation will be key throughout. 3/9
