van Rossem Hard Fork 🍴 Update In Memoriam — Max We remember Max with deep gratitude. A steady friend, a generous spirit, and a tireless contributor, Max gave so much of himself to the Cardano community. He believed in what could be created when people came together, and he turned that belief into action. As a leader of the Dutch community, Max brought people together, welcomed newcomers, and helped a scattered group of enthusiasts become something that felt like family. He shared his knowledge freely, championed others, and asked for little in return. His contributions to Cardano were real and lasting, but it was his warmth and integrity that left the deepest mark on those who knew him. We are grateful for his friendship, his work, and the example he set. The community he helped shape will carry his spirit forward. Max. You are missed, and you are remembered with love that's why our community decided jointly to record your name for Eternity on Mainnet, so your contributions to Cardano and your friendship won't be forgotten.🙏 van Rossem Hard Fork Status ⏱️ 🍴Preview ✅ 🍴Pre-Prod ✅ Testing ongoing⏳ ⚡ Mainnet June 15th go-no-go decision, enactment by voting depending on ecosystem readiness van Rossum Hard Fork overview 🔎 👉 New built-in function availability across Plutus V1, V2, and V3, reducing version differences. 👉 New elements (BLS12-381 multi-scalar multiplication, modular exponentiation, dropList, Array type, MaryEraValue) support advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge use cases. 👉 Benefitting teams building DeFi, zero-knowledge solutions, and advanced wallet functionality. 👉 An accompanying Cost Models update defines CPU/memory parameters for the new functions, enabling more precise execution costs. 👉 Testing on Pre-Prod currently in progress covers node compatibility plus application behavior, script execution, transaction construction, and cost calculation under Protocol Version 11. #Cardano
