Hey @here! 👋
The next Cardano upgrade targeted for February will bring new built-in functions to Plutus, the smart contract programming language for the Cardano blockchain, to support ECDSA and Schnorr cryptographic signatures to make it easier for developers to build cross-chain applications.
Different blockchains use different cryptographic signature methods, such as ECDSA and Schnorr signatures, which are used in Bitcoin and Ethereum, among others.
Cardano uses the Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) with elliptic curve Curve25519 as its base curve (Ed25519) which is fast, secure and small in size, but not compatible with ECDSA and Schnorr.
This upgrade will bring greater interoperability and secure cross-chain DApp development to Cardano, making it easier for developers to work with other blockchains. 👏
