Girolamo Launch Marks Cardano’s AI Evolution

Girolamo, named after the renowned Italian mathematician Girolamo Cardano, represents a groundbreaking step for Cardano in AI. This chatbot is designed to handle a broad spectrum of queries, from industry-specific to general everyday questions. Remarkably, Girolamo also boasts the capability to generate and interpret images, adding a visual dimension to its functionality.

ADA’s engagement with AI technology traces back to 2021, with the unveiling of Grace, an AI robot developed by Awakening Health. This venture was a collaboration between Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET, a blockchain partner of Cardano. The synergy between blockchain and AI has been a focal point for Cardano, particularly highlighted by the launch of the AGIX converter bridge in the past year.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, reached out to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, proposing a collaboration. This gesture reflects ADA’s aspiration to expand its blockchain ecosystem, potentially exploring a partner chain with OpenAI. Such collaborations signify Cardano’s commitment to staying at the forefront of blockchain and AI integration.

In parallel, ADA’s lightweight wallet, Lace, updated version 1.7.1. This update addresses various issues, including enhancing dApps connectivity with the Lace wallet. These improvements are crucial for streamlining user interactions within the ADA network.

Cardano Advances with Mithril Relay Prototype

Cardano’s decentralization efforts took a step forward with the Mithril team’s completion of the prototype implementation of the Mithril relay. This development is key in enabling peer-to-peer signature broadcasting, a fundamental aspect of decentralized networks.

Moreover, ADA is gearing up for a significant governance milestone. The community is preparing for a special ballot vote under CIP-1694, focusing on assessing advancements in on-chain and off-chain governance. The snapshot for participating wallets was taken on November 21, with the voting process scheduled from December 1 to December 11.

The series of developments in the ADA ecosystem has been met with optimism in the cryptocurrency market. Following the announcements, ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, saw a positive price movement. In the last 24 hours, ADA experienced a price increase of 0.40%, trading at $0.3934.
