Cardano ecosystem gears up for Vasil upgrade
According to the latest IOG report, with five more exchanges and projects indicating readiness, Cardano’s upcoming Vasil update continues to gain traction.
Last month, IOG stated it would be tracking three critical mass indicators ahead of triggering the hard fork, which are: 75% of mainnet blocks being created by the final release candidate; roughly 25 exchanges upgraded (representing 80% of liquidity) and the top 10 dApps by TVL updated.
In a recent IOG report on ecosystem readiness, 94% of mainnet blocks have already been created by Vasil node candidate 1.35.3, which indicates that the “node readiness” metric has already been completed. The Cardano developer also provided an update on the exchange.
Among the top 12 exchanges by liquidity, Whitebit just indicated readiness, joining the other two exchanges, namely Bitrue and MEXC, who had confirmed their readiness in the past week. Gate.io, Okex and BTC Turk also recently joined other exchanges such as BitMart, LCX, NDAX and Dex Trade, which had indicated readiness.
In addition, Cardano dApp Revuto has indicated readiness with Cardano dApps, Lending Pond and DQuadrant by ticking “Testing Status” in DevNet, Preview and Preproduction settings.
As reported by U.Today, Cardano developer Input Output confirmed that the expected launch of the Vasil upgrade will occur on Sept. 22, following “extensive testing” of all core components.
IOG also released new trial versions of the Daedalus Wallet, which it claims is part of the “last mile” toward the much-anticipated Vassil upgrade. The new versions are currently available to developers and stake pool operators working on preproduction and preview testing environments.
