Cardano’s Basho phase unfolds
In the beginning of this year, the brains behind Cardano highlighted 11 ways that they intend to scale. Among the ways, one is the Hydra solution, which is a collection of Layer 2 solutions aimed at improving network security and scalability.
The rapidly growing blockchain is at the foothills of Basho. Notably, the phase is all about scaling the entire network and optimizing with smart contracts that were already integrated last year. Along the roadmap of the project, the Hydra Head is going to be the first suite of protocols and a significant element of the journey.
It is noteworthy that the protocol was already shaped up in 2020 as per the team behind Cardano.
