Hard Fork Is Postponed Again To Give Room For Engineers To Carry Out More Test On It, No Precise Date For Deployment Yet

The long-awaited Vasil hard fork which has been postponed a couple of times due the important reasons which cannot be handled lightly has once more been postponed. The Hard fork that was slated for the end of July 2022 has been postponed without specifying how many weeks will be needed for further testing as stated by the developers.

Recall, that the hard fork was supposed to have reached the mainnet as far back as June but due to the maintenance and the series of testing that needed to be run on it and necessary bugs that needed to be tested, the upgrades were postponed to this time. The proposal was submitted a few weeks ago and after, the Hard fork run successfully on the testnet in early July which lead to the allocation of about 4 weeks for the SPOs community to carry out a thorough check on the codings.

Postponement Is To Give Room For More Testings

The update came that the Vasil hard fork on the mainnet slated for this month will not be possible for “further testing”.  It is good to know that Cardano developers are known for properly writing code and testing to protect the community’s integrity and to save users from losing their multi-million services.

As stated on a YouTube video made by the IOG Tim Harrison, VP of Community & Ecosystem, and Kevin Hammond, IOG’s Technical Manager, talking about the current postponement of the Vasil Hard Fork.

IOG’s Technical Manager, Kevin Hammond mentioned:

“Obviously, from where we are, there could be a few more weeks before we go to the actual Vasil hard fork. This is incredibly important. All the users must be ready to progress through the hard fork to ensure a smooth process.”

Tim Harrison said:

“This will ensure that API developers and exchanges are ready for that.”

As stated on YouTube, the delay in deployment is nothing more than to allow the Cardano engineers to carry out more testing on the Hard Fork and as such the precise date for the Hard Fork is yet to be announced.

Currently, the ADA is trading at around $0.53 and holding position 7 in the charts but it is unknown what effect the indefinite postponement will leave on the ADA price.
