WATCH: Cardano Vasil Update Faces Yet ANOTHER Delay

Cardano investors were recently given assurances by developers that the long-awaited Vasil hard fork would not be delayed.

Unfortunately, yesterday was a day of broken promises, as the technical manager of IOG, Kevin Hammond, came out to tell the Cardano community that the Vasil update would be delayed yet again.

Estimates show a delay of only a couple of weeks, but no official timeline has been given.

So far, the dev team has managed to address a critical vulnerability affecting Defi protocols and staking operators; they will be running the latest iteration of the blockchain via a testnet to hammer out bugs.

Investors seem to have taken news of the delay well—citing increased network security as having priority over a quick and expedient solution.

As a quick disclosure, I am invested in ADA. Here’s what we currently know:

Cardano Vasil Hard Fork delayed a few more weeks as final testing is complete.

No talented engineer will question this. This is a commonplace move when it comes to building reliable & secure systems.

So if you’re out there complaining, don’t.#Cardano $ADA pic.twitter.com/wCWlDZ6SFD

Crypto Potato provided more details:

IOG’s Vice President of Community & Ecosystem, Tim Harrison, believes the delay will ensure that API developers and exchanges are ready to progress through Vasil.

In terms of exchanges, the devs are targeting 80% integration by liquidity. For stake pool operators (SPOs), the devs need at least 75% updated to the final version of the node.

 

In terms of $Djed timeline, as announced by Cardano, the Vasil Hardfork mainnet event has been delayed by a few weeks. As we have to align with the Vasil Hardfork, we will need to deploy Djed to the mainnet only until after the Vasil hard fork is completed.

Things should be done properly, not quickly. A few extra weeks of waiting means nothing when it comes to the Vasil hard fork. We all want #Cardano to remain a reliable network. $ADA

Coin Telegraph offered this quote from IOG technical manager, Kevin Hammond:

“Obviously, from where we are, there could be a few more weeks before we go to the actual Vasil hard fork […] This is incredibly important. All the users must be ready to progress through the hard fork to ensure a smooth process.”
