Cardano Founder Explains Reasons for Vasil Delay - But Will This Be the Last?

 


The Cardano Vasil hard fork has now experienced its second delay in the last two months. This upgrade is important for the growth of the network, and as always, the Cardano developers are staying true to their lineage and only shipping secure components. The second delay was announced in late July and founder Charles Hoskinson created a video explaining what is behind the delay and what to expect for the Vasil hard fork going forward.


Delay was caused by bugs

One big thing that has plagued the crypto space has been bugs found in developers' code. These bugs were exploited by bad actors who made off with millions of dollars. However, despite the proliferation of such bugs and exploits, Cardano has been spared, thanks to the rigorous process that developers go through before shipping a product.


According to founder Charles Hoskinson, this process was the reason for the second postponement of the Vasil hard fork. As with the first postponement, he explained that bugs had been found that needed to be fixed to ensure safety. However, these errors are not only about finding them, but also about fixing them.


Hoskinson explained that not only do they need to fix the bugs, but they need to go back and see if they're fixed. Then they have to go through the entire test pipeline again, which takes time.


"So you get into a situation where the functions are complete," says the founder. “But then you have to test, and when you test you might discover something, and then you have to fix that, and then you have to go through the whole test pipeline again. So that's what's causing delays in release."


More delays at Cardano?

After the Vasil hard fork was postponed for the second time, the question on everyone's lips was when the hard fork will take place and whether there will be further delays. Hoskinson took the time to answer these questions.


The Cardano founder explained that they have already found and fixed so many bugs that he doesn't think there will be any further delays in the hard fork. He revealed that the developers have now moved on to the final stages of testing. 


"So unless something new is discovered, I don't expect any further delays," he added.


As for the price of Cardano's native token ADA, the news of the postponement doesn't seem to have hit it hard. The digital asset was hovering around $0.55 when the announcement was made, and while there was some decline, this is more attributable to Bitcoin's performance.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry. He analyzed the new wallet addresses in relation to course behavior and shows here that the scenario from last year was by no means an isolated case. Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

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...
