Input Output Global (IOG), the company behind the Cardano blockchain, is gearing up to provide an upgrade on Valentine’s Day, 14 February, 2023. The upgrade is aimed at easing the environment to help developers working on cross-chain applications. The addition of new built-in functions on Cardano will add an additional layer of security for developers. Incidentally, the upgrade is tentatively scheduled for Valentine’s Day 2023.

Considering the huge developer activity around the blockchain, it remains to be seen how efficient the upgrade will be in resulting in ADA price rally. Since December 2021, the Cardano blockchain saw one of the highest GitHub commits. In fact, Cardano saw highest developer activity in the time period among major blockchains. By virtue of this, the ADA community is hopeful of the cryptocurrency pricing in the advantage.

The Cardano developers will benefit from additional support for Plutus decentralized applications (DApp) developers. The developers have in a blog also said the majority of projects will not be impacted by the upgrade.
