Building Trust in Blockchain Projects
According to an official release by IOHK, Cardano’s parent organization, the blockchain project launched its KEVM testnet, a “correct-by-construction” version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), on Cardano’s K framework – a permissioned programming language.

IOHK collaborated with Runtime Verification to build the technology, and the release is the first time the system’s famed semantics have been produced.

Pretty excited for this, cardano could bridge a lot of the cryptoworld together while also solving the scalability issues that bitcoin has.  If it can take off who knows where things will go from there.
