Cardano’s (ADA) major Vasil update was delayed in June after some bugs were found. Nevertheless, the update is already active on the testnet where new bugs are found every now and then. Why is this causing so much delay? In a new video the founder of the network, Charles Hoskinson, explains why. He also states that he is positive about this new month when it comes to the Vasil update.
‘The most complicated Cardano update ever’
In the video, Hoskinson explains that version 1.35 was originally intended as a version that would eventually be rolled out on the mainnet. But “a number of bugs were found: three separate bugs that resulted in three new versions of the software. And now we have 1.35.3, which looks like the version that will survive the hard fork and upgrade to Vasil,” explains the founder.
Vasil brings many improvements and does this in a number of different areas. And that’s also why Vasil is a complicated update for the developers behind Cardano:
“As I mentioned earlier, this is the most complicated Cardano upgrade in its history, as it includes changes to the Plutus programming language as well as changes to the consensus protocol and a whole host of other things, and it’s a very fraught release. There is a lot in it, and as a result, everyone had an interest in thorough testing.”
Thorough tests cause delay Cardano Vasil
It is therefore not surprising that something goes wrong within all these new components. As with most other crypto projects, new features are thoroughly tested. Hoskinson explains how mistakes can subsequently cause major delays:
“The problem is that every time something is discovered you have to fix it, but then you have to verify the solution and go through the whole test pipeline again. So you get into a situation where you’re feature-complete, but then you have to test and if you test, you might discover something, and then you have to fix it. And then you have to go through the entire test pipeline again. So this is the cause of release delays.”
Nevertheless, the founder is positive about the state of affairs. For example, the large Cardano Improvement Proposals 31, 32, 33 and 40 would not contain any problems. “So just a few edge cases to resolve, and hopefully we can come up with an update with more news by mid-month,” Hoskinson concludes.
