Cardano’s network update, Alonzo, introduced smart contract functionality back in September 2021. The smart contract compatibility, however, was lacking on the Cardano app for more than six months.

But now, users can access the much-anticipated Cardano feature following the company updating the ADA app to integrate the latest functionality.
<h2><strong>Users Need to Update their Ledger Wallet</strong></h2>
Before users can update their Ledger Cadano app to the latest version, users are required to update their Ledger wallet firmware and install the Ledger Live App on their device. Following the app update, users can then access the Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem through YoROI and AdaLite . In addition to that, they can also sign smart contracts with the upgrade directly from the Cardano app.

Cardano and its smart contract platform, Plutus, are set to undergo a significant increase in the June hard fork. Founder Charles Hoskinson recently stated that the upcoming Vassil hard fork upgrade in June will provide “massive performance improvements for Cardano” and its smart contract capabilities.
