The excitement of Cardano (ADA) investors turned to frustration following the announcement that the launch of the Vasil hard fork will be delayed for a month.
What happen?
On Monday, the IOHK announced it had to postpone it following there were still seven unresolved bugs before the testnet upgrade scheduled for the day.
While none of them were categorized as severe, they needed ‘a few more days’ and were unable to meet the hard fork’s deadline which was supposed to be launched on June 29.
Vasil, will improve the scaling capabilities on Cardano by introducing ‘pipelining’ which will increase block spread.
The final decision to upgrade the Cardano testnet will be made in discussions with the decentralized application network (DApps) development community.
Developers must resolve any critical issues in testing, run benchmark tests for the software and inform the developer community to allow enough time to retest their DApps before hard fork.
The delay, however, did not cause a fall in ADA prices, instead it was more affected by uncertainty in the crypto pair.
At the time of writing, ADA is trading down $ 0.46 while BTC is down at $ 20,406.
