Over the past 24 hours, the coin showed the best results from the top ten altcoins. Observers associate the strengthening of ADA with the upcoming activation of the Shelley update.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has repeatedly said that the Shelley solution is going to strengthen the decentralization of the project. The current version of the Byron network is a kind of transitional phase for the blockchain moving towards “true decentralization.”
This week, Hoskinson confirmed that developers want to update the software on July 29, 2020.
