Ledger has been strong Cardano backer
Founder of Cardano charles hawkinson Excited about the recently released LaserStacks. According to him, “Cardano looks pretty good on Stacks.” The newly launched Ledger Stacks enables users to manage over 500 digital assets including Cardano, NFT collections and a range of Web3 apps via the Ledger Live app by connecting their smartphone via Bluetooth.
Ledger has been a strong Cardano backer, even announcing support for the blockchain during September’s Vasil hard fork.
In July, Ledger expanded support for the Cardano ecosystem, adding 100 more native tokens to the Ledger Live app, leveraging the security of Ledger Nano. The list of tokens supported by Ledger includes World Mobile Token (WMT), ADAX (ADAX) and many more. Ledger Live added support for ADA in mid-June.
On Dec. 6, cryptocurrency wallet provider Ledger announced the launch of its new Ledger Stax wallet, which was developed in collaboration with Tony Fadel, co-creator of the iPod and iPhone.
The new Ledger wallet boasts of an extravagant and cutting-edge design that has been modeled after high-end Samsung smartphones. Even when the wallet is closed, users can still browse their NFT collections. Shipments of the Ledger Stacks will begin by the end of March 2023.
Cardano’s IOG gives its concept of time
Time is necessarily relative to every participant in the blockchain system and is critically important to support and maintain the safety properties of the Ouroboros consensus protocol. Also, synchronizing time over a network of nodes takes time.
Cardano’s network parameters are set in such a way that the block time on the chain is 20 seconds. According to the IOG, these parameters are unlikely to change in the short term.
