Cardano (ADA) developers say they’re focusing on improving the smart contract platform’s performance optimization and scalability in 2022.
In a new blog post, Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK) marketing and communications director Tim Harrison Cardano holders to expect powerful improvements and enhancements to ADA through upgrades over the coming year.
“Throughout the coming weeks and months, we will be optimizing, scaling and bringing new features through new release deployments. We will do this in well-defined incremental updates that groups new features for our technology stack into more manageable periodic releases. We’re now in the very final stages of preparing our February release, the first of three major code drops (June and October will follow) upgrading the core network in 2022.”
Harrison says the main focus of many of the upgrades will be improving the Cardano ecosystem’s “delivery predictability.”
“This grouping strategy has one clear rationale: predictability. Cardano has grown significantly, and it’s expected to grow even more as 2022 goes on. By creating specific release windows, companies that rely on Cardano’s infrastructure know exactly when major releases are coming, so they can prepare accordingly.”
The first upgrade will contain five enhancements aimed at Cardano ecosystem developers. Says Harrison of the improvements,
“In combination with parameter adjustments, these features will enhance Cardano’s throughput and optimize the system to accommodate an increasing range of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps, smart contracts, and DEXs (decentralized exchanges).”
