Cardano (ADA) aims to be a decentralized platform that will allow complex programmable transfers of value (smart contracts) written in the highly secure Haskell programming language. They have a long roadmap with interesting features and we are soon to arrive on one of the major points.

IOHK’s Duncan Coutts pushed an update via Cardanoroadmap.com on where Cardano (ADA) stands with the Shelley release that will finally push the network in a decentralized and autonomous direction. The biggest release so far will take place during Q2 2018, features from the update will be implemented one by one. Duncan Coutts also hinted that fully decentralized voting on software updates will come later (after Shelley) when they fully work out the details on it.

Priority will be

Wallets for storing ADA: paper wallet, Ledger HW wallet integration, Multisig accounts

Network decentralization: working mechanism for delegates, incentivizing the system (delegates, full nodes), stake pools
