IOHK founder Charles Hoskinson has informed Cardano (ADA) enthusiasts to prepare for a major thrill in the short-term horizon. Precisely, as soon as this coming June, the Cardano ecosystem is expected to record the Vasil hard fork. Notably, Hoskinson depicts a picture whereby the total value locked (TVL) will experience an astronomical rise. Hoskinson noted in a tweet;

What most also don’t understand is that many Cardano DApps are waiting for the Vasil hard fork in June to launch to benefit from pipelining. So it seems we ain’t seen nothing yet on TVL,

According to data analytics provided by DeFillama, SundaeSwap has a dominance of 47.9 percent of the Cardano total value locked (TVL). Closely followed by MinSwap, MuesliSwap, and ADAX Pro respectively.

However, Cardano’s TVL is fighting among other crypto blockchains’ TVL including Solana, EOS, Ethereum among others. Nevertheless, the ecosystem seems more than equipped and ready to lead the DApps’ TVL. 

Notably, Hoskinson was interacting with a tweet from one of the ADA communities who has been furious with popular crypto-journalist Laura Shin for calling out on one of the members. As CNF previously reported, Shin accused Hoskinson of not completing a degree course leave alone the Ph.D.

“$1,7M TVL on January 12th Cardano was 40th… 2 months later $261M TVL and it’s 26th… And it is only the very beginning of DeFi for Cardano. Many more DEX’s and a lot of dApps coming soon,” one of the tweets Hoskinson interacted with from the ADA community.
