Today, we take a look back at the third of Cardano’s roadmap phases: Goguen.

🧵 1/n
The Goguen phase

The Mary upgrade allowed Cardano users to mint tokens, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), without smart contracts.

🧵 2/n
The Alonzo upgrade introduced smart contracts, adding the ability to build #DApps on #Cardano.

Alonzo also introduced the world to #Plutus, a purpose-built #smartcontract dev language and execution platform.

🧵 3/n
#Plutus brought the benefits of functional programming to #smartcontract creation: iohk.io/en/blog/posts/…

🧵 4/n
Goguen also saw the introduction of Marlowe, a high-level, domain-specific language (DSL) for financial contracts built on Plutus. Marlowe allows financial and business experts with no previous technical knowledge to create smart contracts: iohk.io/en/blog/posts/…

🧵 5/n
Other milestones during Goguen include:

– 2m Cardano NFTs minted
– 3K stake pools running the #Cardano network
– Significant growth of #ProjectCatalyst
– Successful #Plutus & Marlowe Pioneer programs
#EUTXO accounting model paper is published: iohk.io/en/research/li…

🧵 6/n
Goguen made #Cardano a multi-functional platform for #DApp development.

As we continue looking back at Cardano’s milestones, today we focus on Shelley, Cardano’s second development phase. #CardanoADA

🧵 1/n
The Shelley phase

Shelley was a period of growth and development for the network, encompassing the critical early steps in Cardano’s journey to optimize #decentralization.

🧵 2/n
This phase saw the complete re-implementation of the Cardano node for improved reliability, assurance, and performance, and the ability to maintain and evolve the node over time.

Over the next 7 days, we’ll look back at #Cardano’s previous development phases as we prepare for #IOScotFest and the #CardanoSummit. Let’s start where it all began: with Byron.

🧵 1/n
The Byron phase:

The first incarnation of Cardano allowed users to buy and sell ada on a federated network running Ouroboros Classic, the first academic research-based proof-of-stake protocol with a mathematically-proven level of security.

🧵 2/n
This phase also saw the release of two Cardano-native wallets:

Daedalus, IOG's official desktop wallet for ada
Yoroi, a light wallet by EMURGO for quick transactions and day-to-day use

Today is Ada Lovelace's Day 🎉

Pioneer, polymath, and harbinger of a new era of women in science and technology. IOG would like to highlight some notable female-led projects on #Cardano.

This is their story… #CardanoCommunity Image
✨Born in 1815 to English poet Lord Byron and his wife Lady Anne Byron, Ada Lovelace is widely recognized as a pioneering female in the fields of mathematics and early computer science.
Ada worked closely with English polymath Charles Babbage, and is credited with publishing an algorithm intended to be used with Babbage's proposed programmable machine. Ada's ahead-of-its-time work earned her an enduring legacy.

📈75% mainnet blocks being created by the final Vasil node candidate (1.35.3)
📈Approx. 25 exchanges upgraded (c. 80% of ada liquidity)
