Wolfram Alpha, a major computational knowledge engine providing technology for major services such as Apple’s Siri assistant, is integrating data from the Cardano blockchain.
According to a Thursday announcement, Wolfram Blockchain Labs, or WBL — a subsidiary of Wolfram Research — has partnered with Charles Hoskinson-founded tech company IOHK.
As part of the partnership, WBL will integrate Cardano’s blockchain data into Wolfram Alpha, allowing developers to integrate external data into Cardano’s smart contracts. The new partnership will specifically address work on the so-called “avant-garde oracles,” which the companies believe are a necessary component to build advanced smart contracts.
