Cardano has introduced five new Plutus built-ins through a recent protocol upgrade to Protocol Version 11 on its Preview test network. These additions include new data types and cryptographic functions that enhance the performance, reduce execution costs, and expand the capabilities of Cardano's native smart contract language, Plutus.
