Cardano’s much-anticipated Vassil hard fork has been pushed for a few more weeks. The team has not yet specified a timeline.
- In a monthly update, Input Output Global (IOG) technical manager Kevin Hyman said developers are doing fine, testing thoroughly, and are not rushing to make sure there are no significant problems. Because networks are key for upgrades.
“The team is working very hard to bring the benefits of the Vasil hard fork to the community. The good news is that this week we have a new 1.35.2 release that fixes the issues that stake pool operators, dApp developers, Internal testing and others identify that. The goal is that when we get to the Vasil hard fork it will clear up any issues.”
- Hammond also mentioned that final testing and benchmarking is currently underway, and 1.35.2 will be released only on the testnet.
- IOG’s vice president of community and ecosystem, Tim Harrison, believes that the delay will ensure that API developers and exchanges are ready to progress through Vassil.
- In terms of exchanges, developers are targeting 80% integration by liquidity. For stake pool operators (SPOs), developers are required to have at least 75% updated to the final version of the node.
- The Vasil upgrade is essentially aimed at increasing the performance and capacity of Cardano and is touted as the most significant network upgrade since the deployment of staking through Shelley.
- The Node team has released the brand new Cardano Node version 1.35.0, which essentially serves as the foundation for Vasil.
- IOG had earlier said that the expected timeline for mainnet deployment of Vasil would be in the last week of July.
