Software engineer of the IOHK company Kevin Hammond said that in mid-December in the network Cardano will be held hardfork, which will be another step towards upgrading Goguen.
Kevin Hammond emphasized that there is no need to be afraid of hardfork. Unlike other blocks, in the network Cardano during hardfork production of blocks does not stop, and the update itself is automatically. This allows you to quickly and easily perform updates and introduce new functions.
The new hardfork should make the Cardano network even more efficient, as well as add the function of locking tokens. This function allows you to determine how a token is used.
Also, according to the developer, soon in the network Cardano will appear integration of custom tokens, which can be used along with its own cryptographic ADA.
