Cardano update: Vasil hard fork is “ever closer”

In addition to the target that 75% of the mainnet blocks must be produced by nodes with version 1.35.3, two other indicators are crucial to be able to carry out the Vasil upgrade. Thus, 25 exchanges (which corresponds to 80% of the liquidity) and the ten most important mainnet DApps must also have upgraded.

(1) Mainnet nodes:

Mainnet nodes status:

↗️SPOs/nodes: SPOs running node 1.35.3 (the #Vasil release candidate) now account for 40% plus of mainnet block production in the current epoch.
📋 The metric we’re chasing is 75%.

(2) Exchanges:

💱 Exchanges: one last small piece of work to do (Cardano Wallet Configs/Nix docker set-up) before exchanges have all they need to integrate. Expect more news on this within the next few working days. 80% by liquidity is the target for the upgrade🎯

(3) DApps:

4 out of the ‘Top 10’ (by #Cardano TVL) have thus far confirmed to us they are actively testing against node 1.35.3 on the pre-production testnet. We’ll keep you posted as this number go up! 📈 😀
