Cardano Activates Van Rossem Hard Fork, Moves To Version 11

Cardano activated its Van Rossem hard fork on Saturday, moving the mainnet to protocol version 11 and putting the network’s first community-voted upgrade into effect. The change lowers smart contract costs and lays groundwork for the next scalability upgrade, according to CoinDesk, while most users holding or spending ADA should see no immediate change in transactions, wallets or fees.
