Hey people!
Welcome to epoch 251 and welcome to the Mary Era! Another hardfork combinator passed by and it was as smooth as always. It is really beautiful to just perform a chain upgrade on the go without any interruptions and without anything that you as ADA holders have to do. So let’s do a quick dive into native tokens that are available right now:
Babel Fees
If you read the heading and think: “What the heck are babel fees”, then you will definitely want to watch the Cardano360 show I linked in the last pool update. In addition you should read this blog post: Babel fees – denominating transaction costs in native tokens
Alternatively you can just listen to it via Soundcloud:
Babel fees will be an absolute game changer. At the first glance you may think: Cool, no damn gas fees. I can pay the transaction fees directly with the native asset, without the need for a smart contract or anything, built-in right into the protocol. But I think that is just the beginning. With this technical foundation we’ll be basically able to build decentralized exchanges directly into the protocol without the need for an intermediary token, which is just awesome. I am very curious about the concrete implementation and about the possibilities which will be opened by it.
Glow
The latest language currently available in Cardano Devnet is Glow, which was also featured in the last Cardano360 show. If you’d like to know a bit more about glow make sure to read this blog post: Bringing Glow to Cardano
