On Wednesday (February 24), IOHK, the company developing the Cardano (ADA) protocol, announced that the “Mary” protocol update (which will require a hard fork) will be applied to the mainnet on March 1.
The “Mary” protocol update is an important part of the rollout of phase 3 (“Goguen”) of Cardano’s development. As the Cardano roadmap explains, “where the Shelley era decentralizes the core of the system, Goguen adds the ability to build decentralized applications (DApps).”
