Cardano’s founder finally breaks silence as ADA goes mooning

ambcrypto.com:

Former Ethereum executive and Cardano [ADA] founder, Charles Hoskinson, recently broke his silence on the Vasil hard fork upgrade. Recall that Hoskinson had not made any public comment on this issue since Cardano confirmed there would be a delay. 

In a video which he named “Some Brief Comments on Vasil,” released via his Twitter page, Hoskinson noted that there had been several unavoidable reasons for the setback.

According to the crypto head, the Vasil process had to pass some stages before the upgrade could occur. He noted that while some features can be skipped, others can not be.

Hoskinson said that Cardano was in an advanced testing stage despite the delay. However, he reiterated that confirmed tests also need to be verified. He further revealed that, in the verification process, the team discovered some bugs that needed to be fixed and re-tested.

After trying out nodes v.1.35.1 and v.1.35.2, the founder said that node v.135.3 could be the final version for the Vasil upgrade.

Even with the release, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ADA, had not responded positively.

Following the incident above, ADA spiked by 2.11% over the last day. At press time, the cryptocurrency in question was trading at $0.5052 as per CoinMarketCap.

But according to CryptoQuant, ADA’s 24-hour volume was down 16.40% to $679.83 million on 2 August.
