What will the next Cardano hard fork bring?



 Just a few meters away from the next milestone: Cardano is heading for the next hard fork. With the “Vasil” upgrade planned for the end of July, the blockchain will receive a performance boost that should be noticeable on many levels. But what are the concrete improvements?


The next level of development

For the sake of clarity, the development of Cardano is divided into several phases. The network is currently in the “Basho Era”, named after the Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō. After the previous sections have expanded the scope for action, for example by integrating smart contracts, Cardano is being scaled up at this stage. More transactions, faster processing, and a focus on interoperability: In Basho, Cardano will be geared towards mass adoption. The hard fork Vasil is an important building block.


According to Charles Hoskinson , this does not have a direct effect on the “average Cardano user”. But all the more on developers: "We make network improvements, consensus improvements with pipelining, we update significant changes to the Plutus language," says the Cardano boss, who speaks of Vasil as the "biggest and most important" hard fork, "that we've ever done".

However, users do not go empty-handed. The upgrade will “increase Cardano’s throughput,” Hoskinson explains, “and optimize the system to accommodate a growing number of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, smart contracts and DEXs (decentralized exchanges).” Ultimately, all Cardano users benefit from this.

The smart contracts “need less storage and therefore less transaction fees”. A win-win situation: "It will be faster and cheaper for users, and there will be more opportunities for developers to write even more powerful smart contracts that also perform better," says the mathematician.


And then?

Vasil is an important but not the only piece of the scaling-era basho jigsaw puzzle. In addition, sidechains are being expanded, which increase the token transfer and thus the interoperability of Cardano with other networks. Another focus is on the layer 2 scaling solution “Hydra”. Based on the many-headed monster from Greek mythology, Hydra allows transactions to be executed in parallel without burdening the mainnet. "The rough idea" behind it is "that transactions are not carried out on the blockchain, but off-chain, so to speak," says Brünjes.


After the scaling wave, Cardano finally enters its final cycle: the Voltaire era, where control of the network is gradually handed over to users. During the section everything revolves around governance, users get more participation rights. There is still a lot to do, a few hard forks are likely to pass before the final Cardano.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
