Alonzo Protocol Upgrade Will Add Support for Smart Contracts
The price of the digital token ADA has leveraged the successive developments around the emerging smart contract platform, Cardano, to perform excellently. Some crypto analysts are still optimistic that the cryptocurrency is poised to surge further as the blockchain platform prepares for the implementation of smart contracts.
On 8th April 2021, IOG published an article that comprehensively described the path to smart contracts implementation on the Cardano blockchain through the Alonzo protocol upgrade. This is expected to play out in August this year.
