Vasil Hard Fork of Cardano (ADA) Could Be Postponed Once More

As founder Charles Hoskinson suggests stake pool operators (SPOs) make the final decision on whether to delay the hard fork or not, Cardano's Vasil hard fork may experience yet another delay. The action was taken in response to criticism levelled at Input-Output Global (IOG) and Charles Hoskinson for deploying the 1.35.3 node too quickly in response to a flaw on the 1.35.2 node.

John Hoskinson Cardano Vasil Hard Fork Delays are criticised

Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, expressed his displeasure with the criticism that SPOs are rushing with the 1.35.3 node for the Vasil hard fork in a series of tweets on August 19. He makes it clear that IOG developers have rigorously tested the code for months, including stake pool operators (SPOs). Additionally, a flaw was discovered on the testnet's 1.35.2 node, which has since been disabled.

To make it clear that Cardano (ADA) is decentralised, Charles Hoskinson makes an appearance. He does not make all network-related decisions; rather, "those running the network ultimately decide updates."

He wonders if the community should postpone the Vasil hard fork for a few months so that the code may be tested again. The code has been ran and tested numerous times. Charles Hoskinson berates the Vasil hard fork's delay. The community and developers of DApps, who have been waiting over a year for the upgrade, are being impacted by the delay. He requests that stake pool operators (SPOs) choose to postpone the Vasil hard fork or not.

The Cardano testnet is "catastrophically broken," according to Cardano creator Adam Dean, prompting some users to question why IOG hasn't asked SPOs to upgrade to a new version. The problem on the testnet, according to Charles Hoskinson, makes the 1.35.3 node the best choice.

"We weren't silent about it. Literally, the problem on the testnet is the reason 1.35.3 was cut. Attempting to fix this fault by spinning up another testnet is useless. Simply awful, pointless delays that harm DApp developers.

ADA Cost Drops 15% - Following the problem with the 1.35.2 node on the testnet, the price of Cardano (ADA) dropped 15%. The price of ADA is presently $0.46.

After the controversy around Cardano nodes and testnets, well-known Cardano influencer "ADA Whale" is positive on Cardano (ADA). Leaders are standing up to answer questions, and Cardano and its community are active, thriving, and decentralised.
