Cardano (ADA) accounts are now supported on Android mobiles
Cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider register extends its support for Cardano just two weeks after announcing the cryptocurrency’s debut on Ledger Live. According to a tweet from the Ledger team, Cardano (ADA) accounts are now supported on Android mobile phones, and work is underway to add compatibility with iOS.
After months of anticipation, Cardano made its way to Ledger Live on June 14, thus enabling users to be able to send, receive, buy and manage ADA directly with Ledger Live. The release of the smart contract-compatible Cardano app version 4.0.0 for Ledger wallets was also announced in April.
Cardano goes to Vasil mainnet upgrade
According IOHK, an update proposal to hard fork the Cardano testnet and start the countdown for the Vasil mainnet upgrade has been submitted. Since the new Vasil node (1.35.0) met the requirement to create 75% testnet blocks, it had good chain density and was safe to continue.
It added that the Cardano testnet may begin to enjoy the new Vasil upgrades and capabilities anticipated to be observed on the mainnet once the changes have taken effect after the start of epoch 215 on July 3.
Cardano is expected to see significant performance and capability improvements from the Vasil upgrade. Vasil’s improvements range from increasing throughput via broadcast pipelining to improving scripting performance and efficiency, as well as reducing costs.
Exchanges and SPOs need at least a minimum period of four weeks to test and upgrade, after which IOHK says it will go through the same process to upgrade the mainnet to Vasil.
