Exciting news! 💫

New Cardano node, explorer backend, and web API released.

Today marks the culmination of considerable effort by the Cardano team: the release of a new Cardano Haskell implementation, since its mainnet was launched in September of 2017!

This update is in preparation for the upcoming releases for Shelley (decentralization), then Goguen (Smartcontract layer), and open the door to 3rd-party developers and enterprise adoption.

Dear #Cardano Community. It looks like some of the well known community members (either officials, ambassadors or normal members) are being impersonated on a massive scale. Please don't fall victim for these scams and report any fake account you see. Thanks! #ada #reportscam
