Cardano’s IOG dispelled recent speculation on the Vasil hard fork in its most recent weekly development report, saying that “Vasil functionality testing is underway in DevNet, preview and preproduction environments.”
It also urged the developer community to upgrade their nodes and other components to the latest versions in preparation for the mainnet release.

Vasil doesn’t have quality issues
As reported by U.Today, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said during a recent livestream video that there are no quality issues with the Vasil upgrade. “We have high confidence on our part that the engineering behind 1.35.3 is solid,” Hoskinson said. He also allayed fears by saying that Cardano was not in trouble, adding, “Things are working out for the most part.”
The Cardano creator further added, “The very fact that the bug was discovered on the testnet in the first place shows that the testing processes are working.” The code has been “extensively and exhaustively” tested. The likeliness of discovering a bug is “very low.”
The Cardano founder said in response to allegations of testnet failure by SPOs and hastily prepared for Vasil. The latest IOG report shows steady progress on the Vasil hard fork and there is no mention of testnet problems.
