Cardano maintainer IOG has confirmed the news that will undoubtedly excite the legion of ADA fans. The community coordinator at IOG, Rebecca Hopwood, has revealed that an upcoming long-awaited upgrade has been scheduled for Valentine’s Day.
The SECP upgrade, now dubbed “Valentine”, will introduce new Plutus SECP cryptographic primitives to the Cardano chain. The proposal was submitted on Thursday by a joint Input Output, Cardano Foundation, and EMURGO technical team after a period of testing in a virtual testing environment that imitates real-world performance and close collaboration with stake pool operators (SPOs), developers, and exchange engineering teams. The upgrade is expected to take effect on February 14 at 21:44:51 UTC.
