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.
Not only is this a massive milestone for the Cardano project, but also the wider blockchain and crypto-space.

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

UPDATE: Cardano OBFT hard fork successfully completed! 🚀 👏 🥳
Cardano recently underwent a mainnet hard fork (=software protocol update) on 20-02-2020, during epoch 176, to pave the way for the "Shelley" mainnet release.
We have now entered the "OBFT" era. OBFT stands for "#Ouroboros Byzantine Fault Tolerant".
⚠️ ADA holders DO NOT need to take any action during or after the hard fork.
⚠️ NO new ada coins are created and/or cannot be claimed. Beware of scammers telling you different!
