The Cardano development team has released their April 25, 2025, progress report, showcasing significant technological advancements and ecosystem expansion. The report details how the ledger team is actively preparing for upcoming eras while the pre-release of node version 10.3.1 introduces performance improvements and lightweight checkpointing support.

Governance and Wallet Advancements
A notable development highlighted in the report is the activation of DRep delegation on Yoroi Wallet. This feature enables users to participate more actively in the network’s governance by delegating their voting rights to Delegated Representatives (DReps). This advancement comes as part of Cardano’s ongoing commitment to decentralized governance.
In the tokenization sphere, Kinka has reached a significant milestone by minting its first XNK tokens on the Cardano blockchain. This achievement demonstrates growing confidence in Cardano’s infrastructure for supporting new digital assets and applications.
Ecosystem Growth and Partnerships
The ecosystem continues to expand with EMURGO, one of Cardano’s founding entities, announcing a new strategic partnership. While specific details about this partnership weren’t elaborated in the development report, it signals ongoing efforts to broaden Cardano’s commercial and technical reach.
Additionally, the launch of ChadSwap marks another addition to Cardano’s growing decentralized finance ecosystem. As a new decentralized exchange (DEX), ChadSwap joins several other trading platforms built on Cardano, providing users with more options for token swaps and liquidity provision.
The April 25 development report reflects Cardano’s steady progress in both technical infrastructure and ecosystem development. These advancements collectively strengthen the platform’s position in the blockchain landscape, offering enhanced functionality for developers and users alike.
