Cardano is gradually pushing through most of its network’s building phases. The Basho phase, the fourth of the five stages of Cardano’s developing plans, is progressing. The first three phases were Goguen, Byron, and Shelley, which provide smart contracts, the foundation, and decentralization, respectively. Finally, Vasil, the primary feature of Basho, is launched on Cardano’s testnet with a focus on scalability. In recent news, the Cardano network has completed the hard fork of Vasil on its testnet. This latest successful move prepares the network for the upcoming upgrade on the mainnet. The tech firm Input-Output Global (IOG), handling the project, announced on July 3. With the progressive movement, the network is expected to experience more scalability and excellent performance for all transactions. Also, the tech company is inviting project developers, stake pool operators, and exchanges to test run on the testnet. Related Reading | Can This Bitcoin Ratio Have Hints For A Bottom?
