IOHK will launch a Hydra testing program next month with a Doom-based tournament, starting with bot vs. human matches.
Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), the parent company of Cardano (ADA), has announced its forthcoming Hydra testing program. The startup organization plans to test the scaling solution’s limits through a gaming tournament on Doom, a game based on the Hydra protocol.
Cardano Hydra Expectations
IOHK revealed that the Hydra Doom deathmatch will start the following month. The testing of the gamified system is now in progress and will include both bots and humans.
On the other hand, in the second round, actual players will compete against themselves, while the first round will include individuals competing against bots. Cardano intends to offer a prize pool of one hundred million US dollars as an incentive for people to participate in the Hydra Doom event.
Cardano came up with the protocol as a means of addressing the issue of scaling the mainnet. Charles Hoskinson advocates for Doom as an example of the Hydra innovation, given its status as one of the most prominent decentralized applications (DApps).
The protocol will conduct testing on Hydra, a connected device, not for the first time. The protocol’s future development relies on the performance and statistics gathered from this testing. Hydra Doom recorded a total transaction of three million dollars in approximately one hour during the first round of testing.
Above and beyond this, it accomplished a global TPS of 1663. Furthermore, it successfully recorded over a thousand transactions without marking any as unsuccessful.
Finally, Cardano Hydra Doom was able to achieve a 14% chain load in under one hour. After a month, Cardano remains one of the best-performing assets. Despite the fact that the price of ADA has surpassed the $1 threshold, leading market analysts feel that it is only just beginning.
Additionally, the community’s interest has been further piqued by the initial reaction that followed the testing of Hydra Doom. The confirmation of sign-ups to the testing event by a large number of Cardano ecosystem participants boosted ADA price sentiment.
The coin was trading at $1.06 during the writing of this article, indicating an 8.62% increase in just one day. The value of the coin increased from a low of $0.9508 to a high of $1.16 over the course of this time period. Taking advantage of the larger price momentum of Bitcoin, Cardano appears to be in a position to recapture new highs, and the current ecosystem upgrades may be able to assist in accomplishing this objective.
