"We are moving ever closer to a 1.0 release. Keep up the good work, team! Cardano will have multiple ways of scaling up, and Hydra will play a big role in that regard," the Genius Yield Twitter account commented.

The Alonzo upgrade enabled the creation of smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps) and other applications on top of Cardano.

Among the most intriguing of the recent innovations made possible by Alonzo is Hydra, a key Layer 2 solution to further improve Cardano's scalability by layering a new protocol on top of the existing Layer 1 blockchain.
