Simple &amp; Flexible NFT's on Cardano. Each Handle is a unique NFT, minted and issued on the Cardano blockchain. These NFTs act as unique identifiers for the UTXO that they reside in. With a predictable standard, dApp developers can query the Cardano blockchain at any time to determine the current residing address of a Handle.&nbsp;Secured Entirely on Cardano Layer 1 Unlike many other routing services on Ethereum, Handles are secured entirely as native assets on the Cardano blockchain, on the Layer 1 ledger. This means we don't require smart contracts for address routing, ensuring that even in the event of an unlikely smart contract bug, routing will always be accurate — 100% of the time. Now that's reliable.&nbsp;A Standard for Upgrades The Handle Standard supports version upgrading and backwards compatability. Once a version change happens, Partners are notified of the new version's Policy ID. Lookups happen from most recent Policy ID to the first, incentivizing upgrades among users to ensure faster retrieval results. This allows the Handle Standard to evolve with the broader Cardano ecosystem.

 		<img src="https://www.cointrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/cardano.jpg" alt />In a groundbreaking move, Cardano GPT has introduced Girolamo, an innovative AI-powered chatbot that represents a significant leap forward in the integration of artificial intelligence with the Cardano blockchain. This pioneering development marks the introduction of the first internet-enabled generative chatbot, set to redefine user engagement through its beta testing phase.
<h3>Girolamo: A Revolutionary Chatbot:</h3>
Girolamo, named after the renowned Italian mathematician and physician Girolamo Cardano, is designed to provide a comprehensive range of responses to diverse queries. The chatbot has the capacity to address industry-specific topics and everyday inquiries precisely and accurately. In addition to textual responses, Girolamo’s capabilities extend to creating and interpreting images, enhancing their utility and versatility. With its broad scope of knowledge and advanced functionality, Girolamo emerges as an invaluable resource for a wide range of users seeking reliable and efficient assistance.
<h3>The Evolution of AI Integration:</h3>
The significant progress in integrating AI can be traced back to 2021 with the introduction of Grace, an AI robot developed by Awakening Health, a collaboration between Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET, Cardano’s blockchain associate. The recent launch of the AGIX converter bridge stands as a cornerstone achievement, exemplifying the crucial fusion of blockchain and AI technologies, as emphasized by the partnership between SingularityNET and Cardano.
<h3>Hoskinson’s Visionary Partnership Invitation:</h3>
Cardano’s visionary founder, Charles Hoskinson, extended an invitation to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, indicating a potential partnership to explore innovative avenues. This gesture underscores Hoskinson’s vision for a collaborative partner chain, emphasizing the platform’s commitment to technological advancement.
<h3>Lace Wallet Upgrade:</h3>
Simultaneously, Cardano’s Lace, a lightweight wallet, has accelerated to version 1.7.1. The update addresses connectivity concerns with dApps and enhances interactions with ADA handles. This development showcases the team’s dedication to enhancing user experiences by refining the wallet’s functionality.
<blockquote>
We are utterly excited to announce that we have successfully launched the first internet-enabled generative chatbot (Girolamo) on Beta phase 🥳.
Girolamo provides answers to wide array of queries, spanning across every Industry and down to our day to day questions &amp; inquires.… <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/Ujci5kGcrk">pic.twitter.com/Ujci5kGcrk</a>

<h3>Decentralization Milestone:</h3>
The Mithril team has achieved a significant milestone in the ecosystem by successfully decentralizing Mithril networks. This accomplishment was made possible through the successful implementation of the “first” prototype of the Mithril relay, enabling peer-to-peer signature broadcasting and promoting greater decentralization.
<h3>Preparing for Governance Voting Event:</h3>
Amidst recent advancements, Cardano is gearing up for a significant voting event, leveraging the power of CIP-1694 to assess the progress of both on-chain and off-chain governance. A snapshot of participating wallets, taken on November 21st, has set the stage for the upcoming voting process scheduled between December 1st and December 11th. This event marks a critical juncture in the decentralized decision-making process.
<h3>Conclusion:</h3>
Cardano GPT’s introduction of Girolamo and the seamless integration of AI with blockchain technology exemplify the platform’s commitment to innovation and user-centric advancements. As Cardano continues to evolve, these developments underscore its pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of decentralized technologies.

<ul>
<li>With the Lace 1.7 upgrade, the Cardano network users can now stake and delegate their ADA coins to up to ten staking pools, thus further enhancing the mainnet decentralization outlook.</li>
<li>In addition to the alteration to the ADA staking, the Lace team announced the new upgrades bring in place notable bug fixes to enable a seamless user interface that enables mainstream adoption of web3 products.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
The Cardano (ADA) team led by developers from IOHK Group has made notable improvements to enhance the mainnet and enable its smart contracts to compete with other layer-one blockchains. 
In the latest developments, the Lace protocol, a leading web3 wallet developed by the IOHK developers, announced a major upgrade to version 1.7 that brings a new face to the Cardano community. 
According to the announcement, Lace 1.7 makes the web3 wallet even better by incorporating more multi-staking and eliminating bugs that were pointed out during the beta phase. On the top list, the Lace 1.7 will enable users to stake their ADA coins in up to 10 staking pools, thus doubling the previous limit of five.
<blockquote>
🤗We’re here for you! We might have only just released <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LacePlatform?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LacePlatform</a> 1.7, but when you gave us feedback about a couple of bugs, we wanted to fix them straight away. We’ve also improved interaction with ada handles, you’re welcome. Here’s a quick update before our next full… <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/J6TPi2Iyyr">pic.twitter.com/J6TPi2Iyyr</a>
— lace.io (@lace_io) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/lace_io/status/1727319174479847596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 22, 2023</a></blockquote>
<h3>Closer Look at the Cardano’s Lace 1.7 Upgrades</h3>
According to the announcement, the Lace team introduced more bug fixes through the 1.7 upgrade and a new balancing feature. With the new face for the Lace web3 wallet, users can be alerted with a warning banner in the staking section if the specific portfolio is drifting, thus allowing the user to re-adjust according to the portfolio preferences. 
Additionally, the new Lace 1,7 introduces an upgraded pool alert for retirement and saturation. With enhanced banners, Lace users will not miss anything in multi-delegations.
<blockquote>“As always, we want your experience using Lace to be as silky smooth as possible. With that in mind, we’ve patched up some responsiveness issues and made a couple of UX enhancements – including adding new dynamic buttons to simplify portfolio adjustments and upgrading pool card designs in the portfolio management drawer,” the company <a href="https://www.lace.io/blog/lace-1-7-0-release" target="_blank">noted</a>.</blockquote>
Some of the notable bug fixes that come with the Lace 1.7 upgrade include a corrected Total Rewards/Last Rewards display in the staking section to enable the users to see accurate and timely data. 
With the latest Lace upgrade, users can now rest assured the error that would occur by displaying No Funds in the staking section is addressed for good. The Lace team has also improved the display of long staking pool names among other notable changes.
<h3>Market Impact on ADA Price Action</h3>
The Lace 1.7 upgrade is a major step towards enabling Cardano decentralization and the mainstream adoption of ADA web3 products. Notably, the total ADA stake in this report is about 22.98 billion through 3,117 staking pools, of which 10.04 million ADA have been distributed in rewards. 
As a result, ADA price is preparing to rally exponentially in the coming quarters after a successful breakout from the 2022 crypto bear market. According to our latest market data, ADA price exchanged around 38 cents on Thursday, up over 35 percent in the past four weeks.Crypto News Flash does not endorse and is not responsible for or liable for any content, accuracy, quality, advertising, products, or other materials on this page.
