SECP and Cardano’s milestones

SECP or SECP256k1 is used by many blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin to implement public key cryptography. Which uses a key pair (public and private keys) to validate transaction signatures. This upcoming upgrade will put the Cardano network ahead of other competing blockchains by enabling multi-chain communications to help DeFi developers build unilaterally scalable Dapps.

While the Cardano team is working hard on reaching its other technological advancement goals, the layer-1 blockchain just executed over 5,000 smart contracts on the network and was recently placed second in its GitHub development activity.
