⭐ OUT NOW: #Daedalus 6.0.0 for mainnet, preprod & preview.
Daedalus 6.0.0 is a mainnet release required to cross the upcoming Chang hard fork and operate in the Conway era.
⚠️It is mandatory for all #Daedalus users to upgrade to this version.
1/🧵
This version upgrades to node 9.1.0, #Cardano wallet v2024-07-27, the dependent Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet libraries, and fixes the #Daedalus auto-update feature to resolve the issue when running Daedalus on Linux with enabled AppArmor reported here:

⚠️Please note that since this release replays the ledger state from scratch (0%), users may experience longer synchronization times.
Today, we’re delighted to share with you the first two videos in a series which will highlight some of the work of IO’s research division and dive deeper into some of its key papers. 🧵
1/ In this video, Giorgos Panagiotakos, a research fellow at Input Output, delves into scaling throughput and specifically Ouroboros Leios, a new member of the Ouroboros protocol family that achieves near-optimal throughput.
Traditional #blockchain protocols use a leader-based approach for block proposals, but this often results in suboptimal throughput.
Panagiotakos highlights the importance of high throughput for reducing congestion and enabling the efficient operation of layer 2 applications.
Watch now:
2/ The Ouroboros Leios paper is also available for you to read here:
A future video will help outline how fundamental research informs IO’s work and feeds into its prototyping and development work, so stay tuned for that in the near future.iohk.io/en/research/li…

1/ #Cardano native tokens are a game-changer for the #blockchain world, enabling innovative use cases and offering unique benefits. Let’s explore the top benefits of Cardano’s native token functionality 🧵. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/ First, here’s a brief refresher on what native tokens are:
3/ Here are some key terms associated with native tokens:
Native: token logic runs directly on Cardano ledger, rather than using smart contracts
Token: the representation of an asset stored on the Cardano blockchain
