Waiting for Alonzo: Cardano smart contracts creep toward full launch
Smart contract deployment picks up the pace on Cardano’s testnets for the Alonzo, as project leadership says progress is still on track despite delays. The Cardano network is in the watershed phase of its network development and upgrades. The ongoing phase of the protocol’s roadmap is the Goguen phase, bringing smart contracts to the network. This is the third phase of the roadmap after Byron and Shelley. The Goguen phase was split into three stages, Allegra, Mary and Alonzo.The Allegra update went live on December 16 last year, and the Mary update was deployed on the mainnet on March 1....

Following the successful Alonzo hard fork, the Cardano network now has a large swathe of new smart contracts. However, developers must wait to use them as they are locked in a timelock contract. At the time of writing, metrics show an aggregate total of 2,352 smart contracts since the Alonzo upgrade was implemented.

The Cardano (ADA) network upgraded last week and since then the most topical conversation among ADA proponents is smart contracts. The use of smart contracts on the Cardano network has been a holy....
Smart contracts have become a reality on the Cardano network after September 12th. After the Alonzo Hard Fork Combinator launch, developers could now go ahead and start creating smart contracts on the ecosystem. This would aid in developers creating decentralized applications (DApps) to provide decentralized finance (DeFi) services to the users of the blockchain. With the number of smart contracts that have been created on the network, it is no doubt that we are about to witness an influx of new decentralized apps on the network. The project has said that they are supporting developers in....
Cardano continues to make strides on the smart contracts front. The Alonzo White Hard Fork was released last month and is working as intended. This put the network even one step closer to successfully implementing smart contracts for the riders public. Staying true to this plan, the Cardano network has now unveiled the public testate […]

Following the successful launch of the Alonzo White Hard Fork, the team had proceeded to the next phase of the project. […]
A raft of smart contracts are listed on Cardano's explorer, but they are in a timelock and cannot be used yet. More than 200 smart contracts have been listed on the Cardano blockchain explorer following the Alonzo upgrade on September 13 — but there’s a catch. As of now, the 200 smart contracts listed are in timelock and cannot be used by developers until they’re released.The Vercel App currently puts the number of smart contracts readying to be launched at more than 2200.Smart contracts have been a long-anticipated feature on Cardano since its launch in 2017 and the functionality was....
