From YouTube: Mid Month Development Update – October

Description

On September 12, Cardano successfully deployed smart contract capabilities via a hard fork combinator (HFC) protocol upgrade event for Alonzo. But the team didn’t stop there! Since then, we have continued work by looking at optimization, tweaking performance parameters, and working with our stake pool operators to ensure they can upgrade their nodes. Building out the smart contract ecosystem has also been a priority - supporting our partners and the community who are building out DApps on Cardano, and looking at the infrastructure and tools that need to be in place to enable this.

Watch this mid-month update to hear about the upcoming maintenance upgrade to support this activity and about the Plutus application backend (PAB) - what it is and how it facilitates DApp development.
