The team behind the Cardano ecosystem will release a software toolkit later this month that will enable developers to deploy custom-built sidechains on Cardano aimed at improving the ecosystem. The news was announced on Jan. 12 by Input Output Global (IOG), a blockchain engineering company founded by Charles Hoskinson and formerly known as Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK). Here’s the lowdown on this exciting new project! The toolkit will also enable the creators of the sidechains to choose their own consensus mechanism in addition to other application-specific features. All these areas will be worked on with the community as we go – carefully and steadily – collaborating for feedback, thoughts and recommendations.” Source: Cointelegraph #Cardano
