Cardano (ADA) Wallet Releases New Update “Daedalus”
#Cardano's full node #wallet "#Daedalus" has made an important update with several great new features , most notably that allows users to send and receive tokens and tokens (ie not just ADA tokens ).
#IOHK announced the arrival of version 4.0.3 of Daedalus on Tuesday, March 30.
🚨Mac Version of Daedalus 4.0.3
According to the Daedalus 4.0.3 release notes, the most important new feature is to support local tokens:
“ Daedalus 4.0.3 is an important release that enables users to send and receive local tokens. Wallet addresses can now receive both island and local tokens in a single Cardano transaction. Available local tokens appear in the token section of the Wallet Summary screen, where the balance of each token is shown.
🚨“Local tokens are uniquely identified by the two hexadecimal numbers stored in the blockchain, the Policy ID and the Asset Name. These two numbers are combined into a readable fingerprint for easier identification of local tokens. These fingerprints start with the "asset" and are always displayed next to local tokens in Daedalus. Ada differs from local tokens in that it doesn't have a fingerprint. When using local tokens, transaction fees are paid as islands and a number of islands must be sent with each transaction to protect the network from attacks. "
As IOHK correctly points out, it is important to note that Daedalus is "a full node wallet for #Linux, #Mac and #Windows PCs only available for download" and "not available as an Android or iOS mobile app.
