Importance of Mary Protocol Upgrade to Cardano (ADA)
The Mary protocol update is a key aspect of the Goguen era of Cardano development. Going by the Cardano roadmap, “Shelley era decentralizes the core of the system, Goguen adds the ability to build decentralized applications (DApps).”
“Goguen will also see improvements to the core Cardano offering. Most significantly, the addition of a multi-currency ledger will extend the usefulness of Cardano even further, enabling users to create new natively-supported tokens. binance
This will allow the creation of fungible and non-fungible tokens, supporting the creation of new cryptocurrencies on Cardano as well as the tokenization of many types of digital and physical assets.”
