Cardano, which fully acquired smart contract capabilities in 2021, is on the verge of a significant upgrade. We know that such network upgrades have a positive impact on the ADA Coin price. So, what are the details of the biggest network upgrade in the last 2 years? Let’s address this important topic for investors.
Cardano Hard Fork
Ethereum‘s co-founder Charles Hoskinson launched his own smart contract platform in 2017. Over the years, Cardano has undergone several significant network upgrades. Vasil and others helped the price fluctuate. The Chang Hard Fork aims to bring on-chain governance capabilities to the blockchain.
Chang, one of the biggest milestones on the roadmap, will be the largest upgrade we will see on Cardano in 2 years. The upgrade, which was expected to take place this week under normal circumstances, has been postponed to September 1 to allow centralized exchanges to complete their preparations. So, the big day is Sunday.
Cardano and Network Development
According to DeFILlama data, Cardano ranks 30th among blockchains, which is quite a weak ranking compared to its market value. Due to the lack of popular applications that have been expected for years on the Cardano network, there is network activity that is inconsistent with the token price. The network lacks popular applications and tools that attract users’ interest compared to competitors.
However, the fact that Hoskinson, who co-launched the Ethereum network with Vitalik, is at the helm of Cardano has kept it popular over the years. The update to be made on Sunday has the potential to solve Cardano’s chronic problem by increasing participation in the network.
The proposal and voting process for developments on the Cardano network will complete an important difference between it and rival networks. Thus, the potential for strengthening the understanding of holding ADA Coin for voting also exists. This situation can push the token price up with increasing demand. The Cardano Foundation states the following on the subject:
“It will mark the first step towards a minimally viable community-governed governance structure as outlined by CIP-1694, meaning the Cardano community will be responsible for maintaining and shaping the blockchain network.”
Officials, who say they are about to put the final pieces in place for the Cardano network to become a self-sustaining system, are confident of the long-term benefits of this development.
