- Sebastien Guillemot, the co-founder of dcSpark, shares the team’s plans for Cardano development in 2023.
- dcSpark also achieved remarkable Cardano development milestones in 2022 according to Guillemot.
Sebastien Guillemot, co-founder and CTO of the crypto ecosystem development team dcSpark, has revealed that Cardano is set to welcome several bullish developments in 2023.
Guillemot shared dcSpark’s goals for Cardano 2023 in a tweet, noting that they will come “very fast.” These include zk-rollup layer 2 (L2) launch, gamefi L2 launch, decentralization of Milkomeda, and the publication of the first L2 research and development paper.
Goals for 2023:
– zk-rollup L2 launch
– gamefi L2 launch @PaimaStudios
– EVM L2 @Milkomeda_com decentralization
– First paper on our L2 R&DIt’s all going to come very fast

Currently, zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) is a hot topic in the blockchain space. The term refers to a type of Layer 2 scaling solution that ensures a much higher throughput and much lower costs without sacrificing security. However, dcSpark does not specify that its zk-rollup solution will be mainly for Cardano.
dcSpark’s GameFi platform is being developed by Paima Studios. Its first non-fungible token (NFT) powered game, Jungle Wars, has released its first NFT collection. The blockchain game is set to launch on dcSpark developed Cardano’s L2 sidechain Milkomeda this January.
Meanwhile, dcSpark also plans to decentralize Milkomeda. The platform which enables developers to bridge Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) decentralized applications (dApps) to Cardano currently operates without a token.
Guillemot’s announcement could mean that the sidechain introduces a token that will power decentralized governance in its ecosystem. dcSpark’s zk-rollup solution could also focus on integrating Milkomeda fully on the Cardano blockchain.
Reflecting on Cardano’s progress in 2022.
While Guillemot highlighted plans for 2023, he also noted the progress dcSpark made in 2022. Calling 2022 a “mind-boggling productive year for the team,” he noted Cardano-related releases made in the year. These include Milkomeda and Flint Wallet.
dcSpark contributed six Cardano Improvement Proposals, two of which were included in the Vasil hardfork. Additionally, it wrote five Plutus contracts, and also developed a Cardano Rust SDK and Carp, a new Cardano indexer. The indexer already powers many dApps and other SDKs.
2022 – An mind-boggling productive year for our teams
RELEASED in 2022:
– @Milkomeda_com both Cardano (sidechain) & Algorand (L2!)
– Flint v1 (and 50 releases since!)
– 6 CIPs (2 in Vasil!)
– 5 open Plutus contracts
– Rust SDK & indexer that power many dapps & SDKs like Lucid— Sebastien Guillemot (@SebastienGllmt) December 31, 2022
Each of these achievements has gone on to make further progress. Flint Wallet has seen up to 60 upgrades in addition to seeing the release of its mobile versions. These upgrades have introduced features including deep linking support, wrapping to Milkomeda, biometric verification, and a DApp browser. Similarly, Flint wallet also allows QR scanning for mobile, integrated ADA handles, and introduced a compatibility mode, among other features.
Meanwhile, Milkomeda has expanded to also support the Algorand blockchain and is working towards supporting Solana. Since launching in March 2022, Milkomeda has also launched various initiatives to support the growth of the Cardano ecosystem. These include an accelerator program, a hackathon, and grants to developers building on Milkomeda.
These feats, as well as extensive plans for 203, could potentially bring more users to Cardano. With more users, the price of ADA could also surge to new highs. The Cardano native token currently trades at around $0.254, up 3.70 percent in the last 24 hours.
