New Technical Director For Cardano Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matthias Benkort, a software developer at Cardano's Input-Output Global who is best known for his work on the second-layer scalability solution Hydra, joins the Cardano<\/a> Foundation in a new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Benkort, who goes by the handle @ KtorZ_ on Crypto Twitter, has taken to Twitter to announce his new job. He will be the technical director for the Cardano Foundation's open-source department as of today, May 3, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Today is my first day as Technical Director of Open-Source Development at @CardanoStiftung\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> \ud83d\ude36

My role? Making #Cardano<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> open-source development a reality, bit by bit. I'll be working with @_dirkhh<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and others from the Cardano community to keep the ball rolling;

Mr. Benkort's new position will see him oversee the open-source (community-driven) technical development of the Cardano (ADA) blockchain<\/a> and ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirk Hohndel, a Cardano open-source developer, will assist him in achieving this goal. He is confident that the Cardano (ADA) community will rally behind the project's next steps toward becoming a fully open-source network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardano (ADA) on the road to its most crucial technical update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Benkort is working on Hydra, the first-ever second-layer scaling solution for Cardano. Its goal is to improve Cardano's dApps ecosystem's security and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He recently stated that once Hydra is launched, it will scale Cardano (ADA) in a Lego-like fashion to provide maximum flexibility for all developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we previously reported, the Cardano (ADA<\/a>) ecosystem is nearing its most important technical update in months, the Vasil hardfork. Several aspects of Cardano's (ADA) codebase will be revisited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
