After every week, there are updates in the Cardano ecosystem. Therefore, Altcoin Buzz covers some updates from the fourth week in May to keep readers informed.
During the week, Trezor hardware wallet announced its support for Cardano smart contracts. We also take a look at the top gainers in the Cardano ecosystem.
1 – Trezor Hardware Wallet Supports Cardano Smart Contract
Following a new upgrade, Trezor, a crypto hardware wallet provider, will now support the features of Cardano smart contracts.
Based on reports, the Trezor Model T will have this feature. Cardano users will also have to update their Trezor firmware on the Model T device to version 1.11.1. Therefore, making it possible for them to use the smart contract capabilities. In addition, Cardano users have been advised to write down their seed recovery phrase before the upgrade. This is because they will need to enter their keys after finishing the upgrade.
It’s also important to note that this new feature will help users securely interact with and sign transactions to smart contracts via keys on their Trezor.
