IOG engineering team says it is extremely close to finalizing core work
Founder of Cardan Charles Hoskinson discussed his expectations for the Vasil Hard Fork event during a live stream titled “Vasil Upgrade – The State of Play” from his home in Colorado.
ADA whale, a Cardano community-focused Twitter handle, recounts a key part of the Cardano founder’s address.
The IOG engineering team says they are extremely close to completing the groundwork, with only seven bugs remaining to complete the hard fork work. A recent blog post also indicated that the mainnet rollout of the Vasil Hard Fork had been delayed until late July.
Community reacts
Cardano is known for its “slow and steady” approach, which has received a lot of flak in the past. As a result, a scroll through Twitter responses revealed a mixed bag of reactions, although the news of the delay was generally received positively.
Tim HarrisonIOHK’s Vice President of Community and Ecosystem, wrote, “Yeah, so it’s disappointing that we’re not hitting our original target date. But it’s more important that we get it right – and the team continues to work hard.”
According to Cardano (ADA) whale, this might not even register as a delay. He continues, “Coming roughly around the previously indicated time, just ironing out a few creases. Meanwhile, the network is performing fine as it is.”
Twitter user YorkA wasn’t surprised by the turn of events: “I really doubted we’d launch Vasil’s hard fork on the date. The community really stands out asking for more time. It’s great to hear we’re not rushing this upgrade.
Another Twitter user, Cardano Yoda, praised the team’s approach: “I appreciate the team being cautious and only releasing things that will work. This is the right way to succeed. A few weeks late means nothing.”
