Cardano devs confirm delay in Vasil Hardfork

Last updated Jun 22, 2022

The project team behind Cardano blockchain announced very disappointing news regarding Vasil Hardfork of Cardano blockchain.

Cardano is currently a 7th-ranked crypto asset by 24 hours trade volume of its native token ADA. Initially, Cardano entered the crypto industry to become a leading crypto blockchain network for commercial-level use cases. To bring high-level efficiency to the Cardano Blockchain, the developer team of Cardano was planning for a Hard Fork (Vasil Hardfork).

The Vasil Hard Fork was expected to happen by the end of June 2022, which means it was scheduled to happen around 4 days later from today.

Through the 20 June announcement, the IOG team, the developer team behind Cardano, confirmed that it will take more time, around a month, because the team found a minor bug and the delay will give more time for the developer team to test new code.

IOHK added:

“We have agreed NOT to send the hard fork update proposal to the testnet today to allow more time for testing.”

IOHK shared about its activity regarding its Vasil Hardfork on test net From June. The team said that they have been successfully running an early build of the new node as a semi-public Vasil developer testnet. Now the team has 35 developers from across 27 crypto projects, which are testing their DApps and helping to identify related issues, along with 16 stake pool operators (SPOs) supporting them.

Vasil Hardfork delay rumor

Just a few days ago, a developer of the Cardano project responded to the rumors regarding delay in the Vasil Hardfork scheduled event.

The developer confirmed that the delay will not take place and also confirmed that the team will give an update for the same.

As per mid month, we’re very close now but ultimately need to assess readiness of Dapps, exchanges, SPOs etc. We’ll have an update for everyone Monday
