The Input-Output Global (IOG) has announced a new date for the launch of Cardano’s Vasil Hard Fork launch after an initial delay
Cardano’s much-anticipated Vasil hard fork, which was scheduled to take place this month, will not take place as planned, according to an announcement made by Input-Output Global (IOG).
Input-Output Global (IOG) Sets New Launch Date
Cardano enthusiasts are looking forward to the Vasil hard fork more than anything else. It is anticipated that the mainnet upgrade will enhance the capabilities of Cardano’s smart contracts, as well as those of the blockchain’s smart contract platform known as Plutus.
Input-Output Global (IOG) reported in a recent blog post that there are still a few outstanding tasks left to run in order to guarantee that everything works as expected during the launch of Vasil, which was scheduled to take place on June 29. However, the launch of Vasil was originally scheduled to take place on June 29.
The IOG also stated the reasons why there seemed to be a delay in the launch of the Vasil Fork.
Reasons For New Launch Date
According to Nigel Hemsley, who serves as head of delivery and products for IOG, there are seven flaws that still need to be fixed before it will be possible to guarantee that the hard fork will be successful. The developer continued by elaborating, stating that none of the issues can be categorized as “serious.”
Hemsley added that the engineers want to make sure that everything is deployed correctly, and the corporation wants to emphasize that the network’s quality and security are of “paramount” significance, thus they are delaying the release.
After the planned hard fork of Vasil was postponed, the Interoperable Operating Group (IOG) and the Cardano Foundation came to an agreement that Vasil will instead be released on the Cardano mainnet during the last week of July.
