Description
The Cardano Roadmap presents a structured development strategy for the Cardano blockchain, focusing on improving scalability, interoperability, and sustainability in comparison to first and second-generation cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The roadmap consists of five key phases: Byron (Foundation), Shelley (Decentralization), Goguen (Smart Contracts), Basho (Scaling), and Voltaire (Governance), each designed to enhance the platform's functionalities through initiatives such as the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism (Ouroboros), smart contract capabilities, sidechains, and a governance model for community-driven protocol evolution. The project emphasizes a research-driven approach, supported by a global team of experts from IOHK, Well Typed, Tweag I/O, among others, and audited by external firms like Grimm and FP Complete. Guided by principles focused on community growth, resilience, and the balance between research and commercial advantage, Cardano aims to create a robust ecosystem capable of supporting high transaction volumes and complex dApps, while remaining compliant with regulatory standards. Currently, in the Byron phase, efforts are concentrated on code imp...
