IOHK claims that core Cardano software is now code-complete
Founder of Cardan Charles Hoskinson looks excited as the first set of SPOs (Stake Pool Operators) move to the recently released Cardano 1.35.0 node. Over the weekend, Cardano’s IOHK shared the positive news it had successfully released and marked Cardano node 1.35.0, which it says will be the final candidate for the Vasil mainnet release. . He added that he had notified the SPO community supporting the testnet that the new node was ready to deploy. The launch of the node, according to developer Cardano, remains an “important step” leading to the Vasil hardfork.
This is because the testnet upgrade proposal will be submitted as soon as 75% of stake pool operators join, guaranteeing the necessary chain density.
IOHK claims that Cardano’s core software is now complete, according to updates released over the weekend. Positive performance and cost improvements were also seen when testing the new Plutus v2 code, which also included new CIPs that could significantly increase smart contract performance.
Four different CIPs, including CIP-31 (Reference Inputs), CIP-32 (Inline Datums), CIP-33 (Reference Scripts) and CIP-40 (Collateral Outputs), are expected to be included in the forthcoming Vasil update.
The activity is ramping up
IOG continues to prepare for the hardfork version of Vasil testnet. After a successful testnet hardfork release, exchanges and SPOs should have four weeks to complete all necessary testing and integration tasks prior to the mainnet fork.
As reported by U.Today, the Vasil hardfork’s mainnet launch had been planned for late June, but it has since been delayed. It is now anticipated to occur in late July, according to the revised plan. As the community hopes for a successful Vasil HFC event, IOG promises to update its development update this week with new developments.
IOG believes that Cardano’s upcoming improvements could make it faster than its competitors and a fiercely competitive platform for decentralized finance (DeFi).
