Cardano Increases Plutus Script Memory, Developers Look Introduce Burn Mechanism
Since launching the Alonzo smart contract upgrade last September, Cardano has consistently rolled out network upgrades as it looks to embrace smart contract functionalities fully.
Just a week after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced the first public testnet of Hydra heads, Input-Output Global has put forward a proposal to increase the memory of the network Plutus scripts.
Cardano Increases Plutus Script Memory
The proposal put forward by IOG will see the limit of memory units per block for the blockchain’s Plutus scripts increase from 56 million to 62 million.
According to the proposal, by increasing the memory of the Plutus scripts, IOHK hopes to increase the network’s scalability. As per the announcement, the update went live on March 21 and will be monitored by IOG for five days.
Plutus script enables users to leverage a programming environment, remove friction from the DeFi sector, and help more users onboard the Cardano ecosystem.
Cardano Could Begin Burning ADA
The IOG has also shared another interesting development for the Cardano network. According to IOG, the Hydra team is working on finalizing a new transaction workflow that will add token-burning functionalities to the Cardano blockchain.
In a roadmap update, the Hydra team reportedly “inspected the options of token minting and burning within a Hydra Head.”
