SECP Upgrade to Enhance Cardano’s Interoperability

New Cardano cryptographic primitives are coming soon. These primitives will help developers to create cross-chain and Input Output Global (IOG) applications. SECP is an elliptic curve used by blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin to implement public key cryptography. Soon, this open-source and decentralized platform will also get added to this list to improve interoperability and secure cross-chain development.

At present, Cardano uses EdDSA with elliptic curve25519 as its native signature algorithm, but after this upgrade, the Cardano blockchain will get new built-in features to construct smart contracts. Along with the highest level of security, this SECP upgrade will help developers to collaborate with other blockchains.

Interestingly, developers have used Plutus to create around 5,500 smart contracts on Cardano to this date. Making a 57% increase since the beginning of December 2022.
