Cardano (ADA) postpones long-awaited Vasil hard fork again

 


After Cardano failed to launch the long-awaited Vasil hard fork last month, the upgrade has now been postponed again to ensure the smoothest possible transition.


Input Output Global (IOG), the lead company behind the development of Cardano, accordingly confirmed in a video announcement on Thursday that Vasil is being pushed back again.


Kevin Hammond, IOG's Technical Director, explains that the hard fork will be suspended one last time to ensure that everyone involved, including crypto exchanges and API developers, are ready for the transition. To that end he states:


"At the current stage of development, it's perfectly fine if we wait a few more weeks for the Vasil hard fork. [...] This is very important, so we need to make sure everyone involved is ready to make the transition go smoothly.”

Meanwhile, as Hammond states, IOG has been working to iron out the final issues of the upgrade and released Node version 1.35.2 a few days ago . This version cleans up bugs that occurred in the tests at stake pool operators, decentralized applications (DApps) and in other areas.


“Our goal is to remove the last stumbling blocks before we start with Vasil. That's why we test thoroughly and fix the errors without rushing," says the Technical Director.


In the run-up to the upgrade, Cardano ( ADA ) can increase significantly, the cryptocurrency has recently made a jump of more than 7% and thus catapulted itself back above 0.5 US dollars . In the last 14 days, there has been a whopping plus of 21%.

The Vasil hard fork is the biggest upgrade for Cardano since the Alonzo hard fork deployed in September 2021. The new hard fork is seen by many as a real "game changer", as it should bring significant improvements in terms of speed and scalability of the network, which in turn makes it all the more interesting for smart contracts and DApps.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
