Principal Technical Architect at IOG, Duncan Coutts Talks About Three Significant Updates In Cardano Out Of Numerous In The Pipeline
During an interview with the Principal Technical Architect at IOG, Duncan Coutts, he made mentioned the series of updates lately in Cardano ranging from the Lace light wallet, EVM sidechains, the Vasil hard fork and a lot that is ongoing.
In the course of the interview, he talked about the Input Endorser; the Cardano was created to solve the problems of blockchain speed, scalability, and interoperability. the input endorsers are one of the tools IOG uses to scale Cardano this year and are all about addressing the issue of speed. With the help of the input endorsers, the block propagation time was improved, that is the time for a new block to reach all the nodes in a network by allowing transactions to be separated into pre-constructed blocks.
More also, this paves for the improvement of the Ouroboros, the PoS consensus protocol for Cardano. Ouroboros is unique in its combination of design elements, such as proof-of-stake, trustless setting, and a reward-sharing incentive scheme. Howbeit, the new version of the Ouroboros, Leios is on the way.
He also talked about another major development in Cardano which is peer-to-peer networking which is another step in empowering the community to run the network itself. Cardano is powered by distributed nodes, which are run by stake pool operators. Long before now, IOG has been running nodes to help create node-to-node connections, supported by a community-led topology. P2P networking will remove this IOG framework and instead allow direct interaction between peers.
And this last he talked was the mighty Vasil upgrade, IOG’s unique hard fork combinator means Cardano continues through the hard fork without a “break”, and that there’s no need to stop block production – this ensures smooth upgrades to the network. There’s no core network disruption. It’s a rather special piece of technology. Vasil upgrade makes the Basho era of the Cardano roadmap all about upgrading and scaling Cardano to better support DeFi applications and facilitate growth and adoption. A key scalability-focused element of Vasil will be the introduction of ‘diffusion pipelining’ which will permit the continued tuning and optimizing, including an increase in block size, ensuring Cardano scaling as much as possible.
