What’s new? Input Output Global (IOG), the developer of the Cardano blockchain, has begun the final stage of activating the Vasil upgrade. The company’s head Charles Hoskinson noted that the final stage was launched after the hard fork combinator request was accepted. Although the upgrade is due to take place on September 22, Hoskinson said that some effects will not become visible until September 27 for a number of technical reasons. He also urged the community to upgrade their wallets to Daedalus 5.0.0, as it contains a number of significant fixes.

The upgrade will also optimize the Verifiable Random Function (VRF), Ouroboros, and increase the network’s throughput, which will improve its performance. In addition, it will provide interoperability between Cardano sidechains. Previously, the release of the upgrade had been delayed several times.
